A Very Brief Autobiography

  First off, I'm an English major with very little experience with website design (I've used Google Pages.  I don't think that counts), so apologies if this site is a little clunky for a bit.

coyotes seen through a chainlink fence I'm from a small town just west of Oklahoma City called Piedmont.  When I first moved there, I could say with complete honesty that we have more cows than people.  I'm fairly certain that that isn't true anymore, but there's still a wheat field directly behind our house and everyone in my family leaves off the last syllable in "coyotes".  We also have a perennial problem with them and our dogs howling at each other at strange hours of the night, and the image to the left is quite similar to a view we get several times throughout the year only we tend to see them at night.  I loved that aspect of Piedmont, but there were a few others grated on my nerves.  For example, the two newspapers that reported the same news with different grammatical errors.  So I graduated high school and came to OU knowing that I wanted out, but that I probably wouldn't be able to handle ridiculously big.  The English major came about because I looked at the list of available majors and said, ah, that one looks the least likely to make me want to run in the opposite direction.

It's worked pretty well so far.

Another thing you should know about me is that I'm a nerd (not the kind with a lot of tech experience).  I spend my non-homework time playing video games, reading webcomics (they're like comics, but on the internet for your convenience), and reading anything I can get my hands on.  The only other thing I spend an equivalent amount of my time on is watching movies.  The Internet Movie Database is vital to my sanity.

Seriously.  You have to know how maddening it is when you can't remember what other movies That Guy has been in.
