Well it's one of those nights were I don't want to go to bed, I don't want to do homework, and pvt is giving me nothing but a headache. It's one of those nights were that girl I like never gets back to me...but I'm sure I've done nothing wrong. The ones were I begin questioning whether I should truly go into engineering when there are so many other more fun and less soul-crushing options. Tonight is the kind of night that will slowly drive me towards over thinking and questioning everything in my life if I let it, so I've decided to write instead.

First off, I want to thank ShadySands for inspiring me to start writing again. Although I don't agree with everything he says, his writing is incredibly thought provoking and entertaining. Withought that, I probably would have turned to some other, less constructive way to vent. So I guess the point of this today is to start something new, something where I can focus my emotions for those nights where melancholy is the only word that. For when I just can't find that right song to express myself, or if I need some kind of advice, or if I have some thought that I just have to share with people that doesn't quite belong on facebook. I chose to start here because the TL community is one of the best and smartest gaming communities I've been lucky enough to take part in, and it's here were I can always find something interesting to read, so I thought I'd try and give a little back.

So a little bit about me. I'm a pre-engineer from California who somehow ended up at the University of Washington. I play a lot of Starcraft and I would consider going pro if I had more time; pro in the sense that I make some money off of it, I'm not good enough to start competing in any major tournaments or anything. I also sing and dance and steal things... Well I sing anyway, but I'm learning how to dance! Huh, I guess writing really does help get rid of that melancholy feeling.

Normally, I'm a happy and positive-thinking person, but sometimes something just gets me down for a little while. Either way, I plan on writing more, hopefully on random musings rather than angsty feelings I'm sure everyone gets at sometime or another
