about me /and on the nature of the website/
My entire life, I've been very shy and sensitive, and naturally kept to myself.
I've always been deeply curious and passionate about learning and creating anything I can. I especially value my own solitude... I prefer to interact with others at a distance except where I feel I
belong.
I find myself captivated by anything with a mysterious, distant nature: libraries & literature, history & folklore, old technology & software, introspection... and anything surreal, abstract, or esoteric.
I miss the internet feeling like a neverending wealth of knowledge, as it did when I was a child.
I have become very disillusioned with the state of the internet today, as it has become commercial and impersonal.
Rather than relying on the internet as my catalyst for discovery, I find it fulfilling to take life in
slowly. discover things on my own, and return to that childhood sense of curiosity and wonder.

interests /a list and description of my main interests/
ANIMALS: Zoology, entomology, paleontology.
I have loved and been fascinated by all types of creatures— animals, insects, and especially dinosaurs— for as long as I can remember. I'm very fortunate to live relatively close to a natural history museum.
HORROR: Atmospheric, surrealist, psychological.
I find these themes both comforting and thrilling, but I have no interest in schlocky horror movies. I love Lovecraftian horror, though I consider it its own category, as it's rarely done better than by Lovecraft himself.
VIDEO GAMES: Emulation, game preservation, archival.
Especially of strange and near-forgotten media. Emulation preserves not only the games themselves but also the feelings tied to their era. I'm always looking for more obscure video games to discover, and there is always more to find. PS2, PS3, the original Xbox, & the Dreamcast.
HONORABLE MENTIONS: Other general interests.
Alice in Wonderland as a concept in literature, psychology, art & philosophy. Problem solving, especially abstract mathematics and chess. Knights, medieval weaponry & armour, Gothic Victorian fashion & architecture. Old MMOs and virtual worlds, taxidermy, European & Japanese folklore, mythology & esotericism, world-building, computers.
