Revision as of 01:17, 31 May 2012

Hi guys. I'm Damien. I'm a mommy for the 2012-2013 school year. I'm also apparently a famous professor, but don't believe that. (A shirt with the former picture exists as well.)

About me

I'm majoring in math. Math is really hard. I pretend to take CS classes, to know how to sing, to know how to write, and to swim. I once thought I could take physics, but was rudely awakened. In reality, I just waste all my time gaming/interneting/eating. How unfortunate.

I'm an inactive writer for teamliquid.net and a teaching assistant/assistant grading captain on AoPS. I also spend way too much time watching my Facebook live feed, so don't be too creeped out if I like something you just posted 1 second ago (or if I like something you posted like 3 years ago...)

I like playing SSBM, mainly Samus/Sheik/Zelda/Link/Ganondorf/Falco, though I'm really bad. I enjoy Starcraft (Brood War, not that newfangled shiny stuff) as well (hence teamliquid), though I spend more time watching than playing at my D/D- level. Other than that, I jump through phases in different games, ranging from Pokemon to Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup to Tetris. I guess I'm actually ok at Tetris Ultra on tetrisfriends, since I'm #2 now #6 on the leaderboard.
