a brief introduction

who i am
A girl in need of a new adventure. A translator of languages. An astronomy undergrad on leave for the past while, nearly a decade. An endless dreamer, a journeyman psychocoder, a musician of varying ability in a number of disciplines, a certifiable geek (a nrrrd grrl and damn proud of it), a published poet and short prose author and not-yet-produced playwright, an older sister, an eldest child, a former figure skater who really ought to go to the rink more often, a student of Hao style t'ai chi chuan, a former disgruntled crystal worker and manager of a bagel store, a wanna-be founder of an intentional community and so on...
where i've been
I live around Pasadena, California now (for the past *kaff*mumble ten*bah* years. ugh. time flies.), but spent the entirety of my childhood in Bayside, New York, in Queens County. My family spends part of August up in Lake George, NY every year, and I hook up with them there still, when I can. I spent a couple of summers at research programs, at SUNY/Buffalo and U Pitt, Greensburg. I *highly* recommend summer research programs to anyone-- not just kids interested in pursuing the sciences as careers! When I graduated from Benjamin Cardozo High School(class of '92), I came to Caltech and was a member (and for a brief term, Social Vice-President) of Dabney Hovse. Since I left the Institute, I've taken some classes at Pasadena City College and UCLA. I've been thinking of heading to Socorro, New Mexico to attend New Mexico Tech, mainly for their great astronomy department and low tuition... but also because I've never lived somewhere so far away from civilization. I've heard they have only five traffic lights. Then again, there are other places life could take me. I just hope I stop to get degree(s) at some point in my twenties. Of course, that would mean starting again awfully soon.
interests, likes and desires...
- computational physics
- music (passive and active)
- computer game development, predominantly role-playing/adventure games
friends with pages
friends the linkbots should know about (creds to e-t-b for the idea on this one...)
- Yani Copas. Get your damn website together! It's painless, really.
- Benjamin Elijah Griffin, aka Eli-the-bearded. Where are you these days, anyway?
- more to come... this is a temporary thing.
