I am a high school student. Prior to my current school, I was homeschooled and learned Latin, Ancient Greek, and a smattering of Slavic languages. In Ancient Greek, I have read many classical texts, including Plato, Aristophanes, Aristotle, Hippocrates, et al. I have also taken three years of Spanish. In my spare time, although I am too young to get a job, I do freelance 3D graphics for companies and private individuals. I hope to animate more. I also tutor first-graders. I hope to get into photography and film, and I am something of a film nut. My favorite modern authors are, in no particular order, Kurt Vonnegut, Jorge Luis Borges, Vladimir Nabokov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Mark Danielewski, Mark Twain, and Herman Melville. My favorite directors are Stanley Kubrick, Francis Ford Coppola, Federico Fellini, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorcese, and Luis Bunuel. My favorite bands are Green Day, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and Bowling for Soup.

I'm not half as stuck-up as this biography may imply. I'm not the slightest bit autistic.
