There have been a few recent "ask me anything" blogs (such as Konadora's) and since I am equally bored and willing to answer questions I figured I make one.

So if you ever had a question you wanted to ask me or have just a small sense of curiosity, ask me a question in this blog and I'll do my best to answer.

I obviously won't be answering math questions or riddles or anything like that (I'll just embarass myself) but anything else related to teamliquid, my personal life, or my thoughts is totally valid. Also, despite my username, I cannot actually answer your medical questions (it'll be quite a while before I'm even in medical school), so if you have medical problems see a real doctor.

No, next fall I will be enrolling in DeAnza college as a pre-med major.

My name means nothing. I was originally going to be a lurker who participated in liquibet and such but I ended up wanting to contribute and once I started writing and such it was too late. I had just watched a documentary on the Helvetica font the day I made this account so it was the first thing that popped into my head.

Part of me regrets it but I guess it's an easy name to remember since it's quite unique.

Where do you get the motivation to churn out all that writing for TL
Who are you rooting for in TSL/MSL/OSL + what race do you play?
Why Medicine over Poli Sci?

I was a political science major last semester but had to drop out due to illness. I'm using the time to try and find a job (pretty difficult right now, since I have no work experience) and save up a bit of money so I can start over again in the fall.

I skipped a grade so if I start over a year late, I'll really just be on the normal timeline as most people.

Professional Starcraft is the only hobby I've never dropped. Since I tend to be pretty obsessive about my hobbies, I would do these sort of things for fun anyway. I'm just glad I can actually release them on TeamLiquid for the benefit of the community. I'm going through a bit of a phase where I can't really think about anything to write about but I'm sure it'll pass.

I don't really care about TSL. I like both IdrA and ret because of their skill and motivation but I tend to root for underdogs. I think I'd like if Koll won the TSL. For OSL I'll be rooting for Movie to get a 3-2 win over Flash. For MSL I'll be rooting for Flash.

My interest simply changed. I didn't find any of the careers in poli sci to be interesting, while medicine has always piqued my interest. I'm also considering Psychology as a major.

I love meatballs, especially swedish meatballs.

I think she's a talented musician and that it's unfortunate she's wasting her career on generic pop. It's still catchy ( I'll listen to Poker Face on occasion) but I'd like to see her do more jazz type of music.

I've never done either of these things. I've seen snow roughly 2 or 3 times in my life and they were all when I was very young.
