Hello, my name is Tom, but many of you would better know me as DigitDaemon. I am currently in my third semester of college and having a great time. I thought it was a bit far fetched when one of my favorite cartoon characters continuously pronounced her love of learning, but it seems that that bug has bitten me as well. I am studying computer science with the goal of transferring into UCI's Computer Game Science program.
In my off time I participate in volunteering through my Order of the Arrow chapter. I also write fiction and draw. My writing has improved immensely over the last couple of years, but my spelling has only gotten a little better. My sketching ability is actually pretty good as long as I am familiar with the subject matter but I am still learning digital art.
My favorite subjects are Pokemon, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, The Cold War era, and military tactics. Oh, and one other small thing video games. I got my first game when I was five, Pokemon:Yellow Version and it had a huge impact on my life. I honestly don't know what I would be studying right now if I hadn't been introduced to gaming; It stimulates my creativity and imagination and gives me a great outlet for my frustrations in life. Another thing that I picked up as kind of a hobby is quantum mechanics. I understand the concepts well enough to scare myself sometimes.
Anyways, I hope to see you around, feel free to ask me anything. I may not answer some questions, but feel free to ask. Or, just leave a comment saying hi.
Is life not the story we write with our actions instead of our pen?
