My name is Quinn and I don’t like “about me” topics because I’m slightly paranoid and I don’t like people knowing me. I must have written this in a bunch of ways already, trying to make myself hit “post topic” to no avail. I generally only open up about who I am and my life, if I feel that it benefits another person for me to talk about it. If it does, then here. And if it doesn’t, ignore this. I’m gonna do it in bullet format so that it won’t be nearly as long as me rambling. Who I am revolves heavily around what I do.
* I’m a college student.
* I have a 2 yr degree in computers.
* Now I’m in school double majoring.
* I’m about a year from finishing my first bach.
* A year and a half after that I should finish my psych bach.
* Plan to get my masters in psych.
* I work part time in a health facilities center.
* Sometimes I work as many as 3 part time jobs but right now just 1.
* I’m a volunteer for deaf, deaf-blind, children and lgbt organizations.
* I carry a kit of non perishables in the trunk of my car for homeless people.
* Buy food for single moms I know that don’t have money.
* Created an educational website to teach, provide role models for people that otherwise might not have them, and to inspire them to rise above.
* That website has since been used by various educational organizations as a teaching tool.
* It’s currently the number 1 site on google for that particular internet search topic.
* I’m a writer.
* My poetry has been published numerous times.
* I’ve been nominated for poet of the year 5x and refused the nomination each time.
* When I was 17, my first novel was stolen and published without consent.
* Now I’m skeptical about trusting others with my soul, you know?
* Right now I have over 30 favorite novels I’ve written. That’s not all, just my favs.
* I might try publishing again soon… we’ll see.
* I’m currently working on editing 2 of my novels and writing another.
* I play video games and computer games.
* I am making a virtual novel / game.
* I’m an avid reader and I own over 500 books.
* Also an activist and I do a lot of PR to get people involved.
* As well as petitions, protests, and demonstrations.
* I volunteer to a news website where I blog about the latest news on these topics.
* I wrote a paper last year in college that my teacher wishes to have published to a magazine in order to educate others in the field of study I’m going into because apparently nothing like what I wrote has been written before so… I have mixed feelings on that.
* I’m a dog owner.
* This summer me and my best friend will be using some professional recording equipment to create a new educational tv show that will be deaf friendly and available online hopefully. We’ll see what happens.
* We filmed one episode just to see if we could and used it as a class (of 60 ppl) project. To say that it went over well was an understatement. People freaked out and afterward we had massive applause and kept being congratulated for a week straight.
* Our teacher used that video as a demonstration to 2 other schools on the benefits of technology and the kind of things students can do if given the tools.
* I’m a listener and a venter on here.
* I’m working to create the first support group of it’s kind in my local area.
* I run a book club.
Basically I’m just an average guy. I like to think I’m nice. I can be a jerk absolutely and when I go that route, I go big or go home. Thankfully my best friend and I fight well. Right now, I’m single, I have no kids, and lousy taste. In the future I hope to have at least 3 careers simultaneously. Personality wise I am an old soul. Growing up, my parents made it clear that my birth ruined their lives. So the only way I could learn how to be a man was from books, old movies, and super hero comics and tv shows. Which means I have this sense of honor as well as other strange ideals about the obligation of being not only a man but a good human being. Things that I guess are kind of out of place for this day and age. Despite that I know it’s not the norm… I can’t really give it up. It’s all that I know. And that’s pretty much me.
