I'm a student (大学生) at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. I move between there and Homewood, Illinois with surprising regularity (定例).

At this point I'm looking to go into linguistics (言語学) as a career (生業), although I'd be perfectly content (満足) to do translation work (翻訳の仕事). I'm fixing to be a Japanese (日本語) major (専攻), although I'm also looking to add some German (ドイツ語) into the mix (ミックス). In the meanwhile I find my inability to read Japanese Wikipedia articles to be almost soul-crushing (魂潰し) - - stupid 漢字!

I've been writing for a very long time. Briefly I tried to write serious fiction (シリアスなフィクション), but that went under, and I've since moved on to writing for roleplaying games (ロールプレイングゲーム), and occasional bursts of poetry.

I take linguistics very seriously (超マジで), and I'm fascinated with my own spirituality and others' (for lack of a better term, a sort of Thelemic Buddhist (仏教) Feri Discordian eclectic Paganism), but I feel dubiously qualified to write articles on aspects of either one. Until I build up the nerve, I'll probably stick to editing articles on my more pop-culture interests: anime (アニメ), Doctor Who (誰先生), Guilty Gear (ギルティ・ギア), rock 'n' roll, science fiction (SF), White Wolf games...
