How did I get here?
I was born in ?, Florida. I don't really remember anything about the place because I was 2 when I left. From what my parent's have told me, leaving Florida was probably a good thing. Who knows what growing up in a big tourist trap could do to a kid? Anyway, after Florida, we moved to Richardson, Texas. It's pretty much the textbook suburb which all in all isn't a bad place to grow up. Considering it was in Texas, it's suprising that the place was so civilized. People often think that I should have some sort of twangy sourthern accent for having lived in Texas for so long, but I don't. Texas actually isn't that bad, but even so I was pretty much ready to be elsewhere when I finally got out of high school, so I took off for Southern California. Unfortunately, instead of going to some easy school like USC or UCLA (which actually wouldn't have been such a bad place), I ended up at Caltech where I had to work far too hard for an undergrad. I got a very good technical education there, but I was too busy trying to finish all of my homework to get the general college exeperience. Anyway, after four years of hell, I figured I was pretty much done with school, so I got a job at Sun Microsystems. So why am I back in school? Cause I'm a fool that's why! At least this time I'm not working quite as hard and I'm not driving myself into debt. Anyway, that's how I got here.
