tl;dr time!
Okay where to start? I was born in Toronto, Ontario when I was just a baby. I think the only eventful thing that happened there was my mom poking me in the eye with a big bird puppet on my first birthday. About a year later we up and moved to Edmonton, Alberta. There I made my first best friend, started school, got a little brother in 1994, and became self-aware. In... 1997...? Probably. I moved to White Rock, British Columbia which is basically just outside of Vancouver so I just say I lived in Vancouver. I was ten minutes away from the beach and in the year I lived there, I probably visited Crescent Beach and White Rock Beach enough times to never have to visit a beach again. We also brought all the snow from Edmonton with us because the one winter we lived there, BC had its largest snowfall in 40 years. (We were the only ones on our street with a shovel!) In 1998, my dad's work once again moved us away, this time to Halifax, Nova Scotia. We lived there for many years, I made lots of friends, discovered I don't suck at art, and became obsessed with Pokémon. ONE MORE TIME, on December 30, 2001, we moved back to Toronto, Ontario where I attended high school. Full circle whooo!
For a long time leading up to high school and through it, I knew I wanted to be an animator, or at least work in the art industry. Then, in grade 11, I realized I'm too lazy to be an artist, I don't have the attention span to deal with deadlines, and art was too subjective. So at the last minute in grade 12, I dropped my last specialty art course and retook Calculus to get a better mark so I could get into a school for Computer Science. It worked because I ended up getting into my top choice (as well as technically getting into two more universities I didn't even apply for). My mom was pretty sad because said top choice was out-of-town but overall I was pretty ecstatic. I'm still here, albeit a little more behind in my studies than I'd like. (And mom is still clingy.)
Uhhh... not much else to say. I don't do much IRL but hang out with friends and immediate family. LOL SO LAME. :( I've got two great groups of friends, online and off, which I talk to quite frequently. I've been a member at one certain Pokémon forum for... oh god like 7 years now?? That sucks up a fair bit of my time when I'm not working or studying (depending on if I'm in school or not at the time). This is mainly it. I can't think of much else that defines me. XD; Oh, right, somewhere in there I decided I was God and ever since I've managed to get lots of people calling me that (including my parents) and I've obtained many followers. 8) You can learn more about this religion (surprise, surprise—Lightningism!) on the "website" page.
