Greetings and g'day! If you came to this part of my site you are wanting to know more about me. I pity you. You might want to click a button to get out of here quickly. Another warning, there's pictures of me on here. If you cover your eyes you'll be fine. Watch your step as you ventrue forth. Take a look around in my world.
The world itself...
The land I inhabit is a land to the west. It's known by the name as Wibbleville, though it has also been called by another name, Springfield, Oregon. Springfield is on the western side of the United States not far from the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It's not bad here in Wibbleville, the weather isn't too bad, though personally I could use a few more thunderstorms or two.

Right next to Wibbleville is the larger city of Eugene, which is also where I live, at my mother's house. Not too bad there either. It is known for its hippies and protesters I suppose, and it once was known as the track capital of the world. The whole area has about 300,000 people.

So, you're thinking of making a stop to Wibbleville, but you want to know, "What is there to do there?" Oh, there's plenty to do here, you've just gotta look!

Well, if you're willing to take a drive, there's quite a bit you can do. The Pacific Ocean is only an hour drive away, and that's not bad. The water is cold, and sometimes it's windy, but it is quite a hoot to go see it anyways. Also, just a couple hours away Is Portland, Oregon. It's the largest city in Oregon, and it's also quite enjoyable to go there since there's a great amount of things you can do there.

If you're more into hiking there's mountains and trails all around you when you're here, so don't worry. There's hikes for beginners all the way to hikes for the more extreme. Right near Wibbleville is Spencer's Butte, a nice enjoyable hike that'll take anywhere from a half hour to three hours depending on the trail you take. Farther away by a couple hours are the Three Sisters Mountains. They're three of the tallest mountains in Oregon, and the North and Middle Sister will need some rockclimbing skills. You can also find numerous places to camp and backpack if that's what you're looking for.

Okay, enough of that, I'm tired of talking of this area like a travel agent. What exactly is in my world? Well, it's my world, that's what it is.

In Wibbleville I find myself doing pretty much nothing but working on this site it seems :o)

In actuality my time here in Wibbleville isn't too bad. I take it at a laid back, but busy pace. I'm always doing something, that's for sure, just sometimes it's not the most important thing. Here in Wibbleville I've always got something to do, maybe it's something like writing more on my story, or playing a game, or even working on this site. But I do have stuff to do in Wibbleville.

I also enjoy to hike in the area that surrounds Wibbleville. A quicjk jaunt is always the easiest to do, especially since it's not far from here where I normally hike with the Evil Gnome (my father).

There's also a couple malls in the area and bunches of movie theaters, so there's not a lack of places where teens like myself wreak havoc at.

Wibbleville is quite a nice, lovely place.

The occupants of my time...
I've got hobbies. Who doesn't?

Okay, so there's nothing really out of the norm that I can think of off the top of my head. I read like many people do, I hang out with my friends and goof off on the net, also as many do. I even play video games, which alas, many others do too.

But to actually look at this and see what I do and everything else pertaining to this.

My reading comes in spurts normally. Yes, if I have to read something for school I'll read it, quickly and quietly with nary a comment. But I do read for my own entertainment as well, and that's when the spurtlike reading takes place.

There's many authors that I enjoy, but some I stop reading after a short time and others I read for time after time. Stephen King was a stage, I read it for about a year or two but then got tired of his books and I haven't read one since. Though I will admit, It and The Stand are excellent books. Check them out sometime if you can. Right now though I've stuck with Robert Jordan and I've read through his whole series as well as I enjoy reading Michael Crichton's books still, they always seem to be interesting. But when I do read, I'll normally read a whole series in a very short period, with many long nights staying up so I can read to the next chapter, and the chapter after that, and so on and so forth.

But I don't read all the time. Sometimes I go weeks without opening a book. Instead I'm normally either playing a video game or doing something on the computer.

Computer is much easier to talk about. I do play games on it, though that has slackened off some since I've been working on this site, which is where about 1/4 of my time is spent on my computer. The rest is either typing, since I do write my stories and such, and I also do other things like chat and organize all my files (I'm over 3000 art files, took a long time to sort!).

As for video games...I play too much, that's for sure! I don't play as much most the time right now than I used to. When I was younger I always played games, as soon as I got home till I had to go to bed. Now if there's a game I'm playing that I want to get through I play a lot, but that's about the only time. For example, I played Final Fantasy nearly from when I woke up till when I fell asleep, but that's just because I wanted to play that game for such a long time, it was like a good book, I didn't want to set it down.

There's other things I do, like watch movies, but that's easy to talk about. I like all types of movies, so I don't have any preference, I have too many favorite movies to count, so I'm not even going to try to list them for you, or at least not right now. But I like movies.

Music rules my life. I always listen to music, and I even play music. I play the violin at my school in the String Ensemble and I'm presently in the string quartet. I love music, nearly every type. Once agian, way too many favorites to name every one, and besides a lot of my favorite songs are done by people where I could care less for the rest of their music, I just mostly like that one favorite song.

I move. Hard to believe it, but yes, I even get up and do active things. I ride my bike around to most everywhere I go, and when I don't do that I run, so yes, even though it may appear like I'm lazy, I'm normally out doing something active every day.

Geez...this is getting long, I'll end it here.
Days gone and past...
Just a warning ahead of time, this could be a long one. Read one and see my history, cut down and made short.

I was born back in the month of October in the year 1984.  So lovely back then! Sure, maybe I don't remember any of it, but I think it was lovely.

It wasn't so lovely for me. Already soon after I was born we were finding out that I have the luck of being a very sick person. No no, not sick as in deranged, but as in cough cough sneeze sneeze. Now ya see? Good. So, as it goes, my eardrums blow up when I'm still a wee lad. Having that happen was the cause of my speech impediment back then. I couldn't really say understandable words till I was three, but hey, I didn't mind too much I suppose. Once again, I don't remember too many things of me talking back then. Anyways, before I started talking, back when I was either late two years old or three years old I managed to get a leg from a plastic chair to go through my cheek, that's why I have a scar below my lip. Quite gross really, I won't give any details, just try to picture a chair leg going through my face, that's what happened. Well, they stitched me back up and I was better than ever....until I broke my nose. I think I was about four or something, but whenever it was, I broke my nose pretty good at one of the local pizza parlors. I'd advice no one else to do it, breaking your nose seems to have a lot of pain followed by it for some odd reason.

So, let's check back here, before I enter kindergarten many events passed. 1) I injure myself in many ways. 2) My parents were split sometime when I was one or two, though I don't really remember too much of that. 3) I learn to read and do math. 4) Find out I'm a severe asthmatic trying to learn to talk without sounding funny.

Let's enter schooltime. School was good to me, and really still is. In elementary school I was normally on my teacher's goodside, though I was a crybaby. For reason in kindergarten I hid under a table and cried. Heck, no one knows why, now or even at the time, I guess it just seemed to be the cool thing to do. I learned how to tie my shoes and spell better in kindergarten as well as learning how to multiply. That year was a hoot. Heck the rest of elementary was really a hoot. In 1st grade I had a fun teacher and met a couple of my friends that are still my friend to this day. That year I learned division.

As you can see, I was a bit good at math, you could say I excelled in that area. Well, technically I still do. I kept getting better at math throughout the years. In 3rd grade I went to a 5th grade class to do math. 4th grade was Hell. My teacher taught me nearly nothing that year, she didn't bother trying to give me anything else besides what everyone else did, which most my past teachers already had me do. So it was a waste pretty much. Then in 5th grade I was back to the teacher I went to for math previously, they worked it out and early on that year I went to the neighboring middle school for math. Kinda spooky for a 5th grader to go over to a middle school for a year :o) Especially considering I grew my hair out by then and it was down to my shoulders. You actually weren't able to tell my gender for awhile with my long hair, it was freaky. Phew...those days are no more.

So, let's look at that time period in review. 1) I go on with my math studies and end my 5th grade year in 9th grade math. 2) My parents split again when I was in 4th grade but got back together. I did like my mom's apartments during that time though! My neighbor their had a new Sega CD, the coolest thing at the time. I was quite the Ecco the Dolphin player. 3) Met a bunch of my friends that I still have and many of my acquaintances. 4) Managed to break my nose again and crack my skull respectively in 1st grade and 2nd grade. 5) Practically lived in the hospital during my first years of school. We roughly guess that I've been in the hospital over 75 times, maybe over 100. Love the food.6) We don't get cable anymore at the end of 5th grade, my dad didn't want it.

On to middle school! Yay!

Well, isn't the public school system great? Sure! They get me into the same math class that I was partway finished with the year before, but it's the first year they start screwing with my schedule. I'm positive they just have classes on a dart board and toss darts blindfolded for them to pick my classes. They stuck me into a computer class for a whole year, which was meant for only a semester. That's where I learned to type quicker, though I was already sufficient, and that's where I learned a lot about the net, making websites, and using big fancy products. I first had to make websites using html. I hate it. I love this drag and drop crap, much easier! Now if they could only implement some needed features.

Middle school was different. First big thing that happened in middle school I'd say was in 7th grade. I got my first real girlfriend. And who better than my best friend since 1st grade? Well, doubt she'd like me to say her name on here, so she'll just be Jane, okay? Anyways, Jane and I got together at the end o November our 7th grade. We were together all the way to August after 7th grade when she broke up with me. But alas, we got back together soon after and we're pretty much together all the way till about May-June of the following year. So, we were together for quite a while, it was getting close to two years. We are still friends though.

Other stuff happened too. In 7th grade they had me going to a high school for math. My class was first period which gave me the chance to be there when we had one of the famous school shootings. Ah yes, that was a bit different. Check it for yourself, it was Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon. I was there for my math class when at 7:56 on May 21 a student came in and started shooting. Lots of media, that's for sure. It also gave my mom the opinion that I'm not right in the head. Since everyone else went through depression, but I didn't, even though I saw someone shot and I heard the shots, she thinks there's something wrong with me. She had me see a councilor, which I think that he said I was crazy. He wanted to see me more, I didn't want to see him. So I didn't see him no more, bye bye councilor!

Okay, let's take middle school into review! 1) My schedule forever gets screwed, but that allows me fun classes like computers and being a library assistant for two years in a row, where I got to learn cheerleading. 2)My grandma on my mom's side died October 12 of my 7th grade year. 3) Jane and I finally broke up. 4) Was at the high school when there was the shooting, making my mom think I'm nuttier than a bunch of squirrels in the middle of Winter. 5) I escaped middle school alive, though I'm not sure how true that is, I think that place took my soul away. It was like a prison. 6) My parents finally divorced in September of my 6th grade year. 7) We find out my eyes suck and I get glasses the beginning of my 6th grade year.

So now we come upon the time known as now. Yes, the fun has just begun in my life, I am only in high school! Since I'm not through with it yet, I'm not going to do any details, those will be done later. For now I'll just summarize what's happened since the end of middle school.

Yeehaw! Now in no particular order.1) My grandpa died July 29th of 2000 of cancer 2) My grandma on my dad's side had a stroke a lil' before that. 3) Dec. 9 of 2000, I think was the day, I passed out and had a seizure. You don't know what you're missing out on, it's fun! I'm kidding...don't have one. 4) Got a 2nd girlfriend. Lasted less than a month. 5) Keep goin' higher in my classes, though my grades dropped. Curiously they started dropping after I got the net. Any connection? Doubtful. 6) Nothing really, just living through life. 7) Got my site up and going, and now I'm actually working on it and caring for it.

So, as you can see I've had an uneventful life. :o) I've left out some things, you should be thankful, I'm just keeping it short. For example in 7th grade I sprained both my wrists at the same time and tore ligaments in my left wrist. That was fun. About as much fun as stepping off a platform about 10 feet up and not realizing there's anything below me! That's an odd experience! That one was in 9th grade. There's also good things I've left out, like goin' to the east coast and Canada, respectively to go to Disneyworld and to go hiking.

So, hope you enjoy that long tedious recollection of things that happened in my past. Somday if I ever feel like it I may write something along the lines of an actual biography, for no reason at all, besides to tell a story of what I've lived through. Until then you'll just have to go by the information on this page and what I tell you if you ask me questions :o)

It's my time to say goodbye...

Farewell
