About me
I’m a 20-year-old college
sophomore studying
the most time-consuming major ever – violin performance. Surprise! I’m sure you never guessed…
Anyhow, for roughly
nine months of the year, I reside in
Columbus, Georgia, attending
Columbus State University (although usually we
music students shun the associations with the actual university). Otherwise, I live, have lived, was born, and grew up in
Minnesota.
Plymouth, Minnesota, to be exact. In case you were wondering, I do have the
accent: people never fail to laugh whenever I say things such as “I’ll take a paper bag.” As a further example of the extent of my
Minnewegian
“ruts,” I enjoy
lefse and believe
uff da is possibly the best expression ever.
Also notable: I love to read. Favorite genres include
19th century fiction,
Fantasy and
Sci-Fi, and
Christian theology. I should mention that although the last portion of the previous paragraph may have had you thinking otherwise, I am not a
”Lu-tern”; I’m actually a devotee of
Roman Catholicism.
Still more about me
So I like
music. Yes, that’s a gross understatement. I tend to be picky about which types, however:
classical tops my list, followed by
French pop,
Jazz, and then
more mainstream stuff.
Rap and
country should be banned from existence.
Often, I get...obsessed...with
certain pieces of music, listening to them over and over again,
sometimes in my head, too.
Preferred classical composers include but are not limited to:
Mahler,
Rachmaninoff,
Sibelius,
Bach,
Beethoven,
Ravel, and
Shostakovich. I tend to have affinities for second
symphonies, particularly those of the first three composers I just listed.
I should mention that in addition to the violin, I play the
viola, enjoy singing (I’m an
alto), and have some
piano skills. My relationship with practicing does and will continue to waffle between love and hate.
In case you weren't already jealous of my awesomeness, I will also mention in this musically inclined section that I have
perfect pitch. Boo-yah.

Most of my substantial
Wikipedia contributions come on articles directly related to music. I mean, it is my
forte (admit it music nerds, you groaned). However, I have contributed a number of times to the
Wayzata High School article, as I attended and graduated from the school. Lastly, being that I am a native Minnesotan, I also have made several contributions to articles relating to the state. The majority of my other, more seemingly random, edits involve one of two situations. A) I read an article, only to realize that I have something to add! Woohoo! So I add it. B) I read an article, only to be disgusted by a lack of proper writing convention. So I makes the grammar gooder, corruct thuh spelng,
oh hai i’m in ur wikipedias, fixin ur netspeak lol k bai, and remove the vandalTHIS USER SUCKS!!!!!!1111[
citation needed]ism.
Cheekiness aside, I just make additions (and sometimes subtractions) where I can. I can’t say I’m a terribly active member of Wikipedia; it comes and goes in spurts. Kind of like this userpage.
