About Me

Hello! I run this website. This is, clearly, a page about me. These pages are typically rather long and rambly. Will this be an exception or stick to the status quo? Let's watch.

I'm a girl that lives in the South-east of The United States of America (don't expect anything more than that - what do you want, my address and credit card number?). If you want to know how I look like... well, I'm tall-ish, have brown hair, brown eyes, and apparently I look pale. I don't wear anything 'weird' unless a shirt that says "I <3 Iceland" and various band shirts count as weird.

I'm really interested in languages. I speak Spanish as a first language and English as a second language (though oddly enough, my English is far better than my Spanish). I study French at school and Russian at home. There are a bunch of languages that I would like to learn, but my 'most wanted' ones are Icelandic, Hindi, and I from there I guess Arabic, Japanese (I already have reading material :O), and anything else that interests me.

I would like to be a novelist. I enjoy writing and reading a lot, but I rarely get good enough ideas to write about. It also seems that a lot of the stuff I write is fanfiction. I like fanfiction, but I would like to have more original ideas. My favorite book is The New Penguin Russian Course for Beginners. Well, nah, not really. I don't know what my favorite book is.

Music is also really interesting to me. I play and study the piano (well, I have a keyboard, but that's nowhere near as romantic) and I also play the synthesizer. I have a musical saw as well as a harmonica that my grandfather loaned me. I have odd tase in music. I like songs with good melodies, interesting lyrics, and unusual chord progressions; however, I'll listen to more or less anything so long as it's appealing to me.

This website... I made it because I wanted a place to put all the Pokemon stuff I was thinking about. I started it when in 2003, I think. I had seen The Cave of Dragonflies a while ago and was shocked at how professional-looking and fantastic a Pokemon site could be - plus, look at all that content. I made a website in Frontpage that was quickly lost/deleted. Then I used Butterfree's old free layout, made a palette swap, adjusted widths and stuff, and made the very first version of The Red Blimp. The rest of the story can be found at the Site History.

Yes, I like Pokemon. If it wasn't obvious from the Pokemon content or style, let it be obvious now. No, I don't care if you think it's for little kids or if it's a fad or something - I find the games to be fun and worthy of my time. Chances are that you won't change that, so please don't try. I also adore Paper Mario, which is my 2nd favorite series (gee, I wonder what the first is!). After that is EarthBound (I call it EarthBound. Please don't make a big deal out of it.) because it amazed me. After that is Pikmin and then I don't really care after that.

I like old stuff. I own a record player and vinyl records. I have various cassettes and love them all very dearly. I own a Nintendo 64, a SNES, and a NES. That's as much old stuff as I can remember, sorry.

Well, that's all the stuff you'll likely find relevant about me. If you want to hear my opinions on politics, life, the universe, and all that good stuff, I guess you'll have to infer it somehow. :P I don't think I'd do a good job of explaining myself in just a paragraph, but here I go: I am open to all ideas and do accept the possibility that every single thing I believe or don't believe in is wrong.

Now I'm going to wrap this up. There is more to me than languages, websites, weird music, videogames, old stuff, and accepting everything; however, I am not inclined to describe all of myself on this page. I will update this occasionally as more and more things become relevant; until then, da svidaniya. ;)
