So who am I and why do I have a blog?

Welcome to my blog. While I’m probably the last person on the internet to get one of these I still feel rather narcissistic having one of these. I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with this yet, I’m certainly going to talk about gaming and RPGs, that is the tabletop, dice based games, not those newfangled computer games. I will probably indulge in talking about myself from time to time, though I’m not sure of how open I’ll be as of yet.

So why did I start a blog? Last Halloween I joined Twitter in an event called War of the Worlds 2. I tweeted from time to time until another even along the same lines as War of the Worlds Two known as Twitter Fiction Event run by @MassTwitFic came alone. I installed tweetdeck and spent the whole day online and after that never quite left. I got used to talking with people online on twitter, and wanted to have longer discussions. I wanted to post long articles and opinions without having to break them up into 140 characters and flood everyone’s feeds. So, here I am.

So, who am I anyway? I’m a Canadian geek. I’m a chemistry major at McMaster University. I’m not going to go into more detail as I’ll be job hunting come fall and I don’t want an employer looking into my private life. So don’t be surprised if my picture changes a bit come September. Now I’m not going to post about me getting high and drunk and having random sex as well, I’ve never done any of those things. I drink, but have never been drunk. I suffer enough from a medicine I have to take to fill my mind with illicit chemicals, and well, I’m a romantic. Also I’m currently in a long distance relationship with a very lovely women. ^^.

I’m a bit of a computer geek, I’ve done a touch of programming in a few languages, but I’m by no means a programmer. I play the occasional computer game, leaning towards RPGs and Turn Based Strategy. I’m currently leaning towards organic chemistry as a focus, though some elements of inorganic interests me. So far analytical chemistry has bored me, though people keep recommending I go into it for some reason. I’ve also tried Quantum chemistry and liked the fact it let me program and do chemistry, but I found it too ‘physicsy’ for my tastes.

So I’m not sure what else to say about myself. I’ve got a few more posts ready about gaming and we’ll see where this thing goes!

So why do I have this blog if I have my wordpress one? Well, I'm a touch frusterated with the themes on wordpress so I thought I'd try this out. So far I'm likeing wordpress better, but hey, I'll give this a try. By the way if anyone knows of ways to import wordpress to bogger easily let me know? So if you want my MAIN blog check out http://canageek.wordpress.com



Until next time, Stay Geeky
