CURRENT MISSION

Trying to gain independence from my parents.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old geek who likes reading, foreign languages (mostly Japanese), music (especially if it involves Vocaloid/UTAU), video/PC games, and MOOCs.

PHILOSOPHY

An it harm none, do what ye will. (Not Pagan, but I still live by that line.)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't yet done anything yet, but I'm interested in surfing.

兴趣

I listen to music a lot, and I'm trying to learn how to write some. I spend more time surfing the Internet than I care to admit. I watch anime and sometimes read manga. I'm a big fan of MOOCs (massive online open courses) and have a bad habit of signing up for too many. I'm mildly serious about learning Japanese, and I'm half tempted to take up Spanish again (I took four years of it in high school).

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: Stranger than Fiction, Ponyo, Summer Wars, Tekkon Kinkreet
Music: Vocaloid/UTAU (it's technically an instrument not a genre, but I'm not picky about genre), classical
Books: Yes please. My favorite writers are Kurt Vonnegut, Amy Tan, and Neil Gaiman. Some of my favorite books are Timequake, The Opposite of Fate, American Gods, Who on Earth is Tom Baker?, and Paper Towns.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went on a trip to Ireland for a short term class in January 2011, and I'm still not over it (ie I want to go back).

教，学，和分享

If you like making music and the term "voice synthesizers" sounds appealing to you, I can show you the ways of UTAU and Vocaloid. I could also help you with basic Japanese.
