About me, and what I’m going to be talking about

About me, and what I’m going to be talking about.
I have a lot to say, so I’ll start with a bit about myself.
I am a 19 year old male, between my sophomore and junior years in college. I spent the last two years at a small engineering school in a boring post-industrial city in the northeast, and for this fall I have transferred to a much larger school in Boston, where I hope to finish my undergrad in something technology related, before continuing on to law school, where I want to specialize in internet and copyright law. I’m short, and have had a fairly large number of orthopedic surgeries; I’m not sure if I consider myself disabled, but I think I can a good segment of the (dis)ability spectrum.
Copyfight is a passion of mine, as are issues relating to the internet and technology in general, so you can expect to hear me geek out about such things in the future.
Video games. I partake. The PC is the one true platform, and that’s all I have. Currently playing Call of Duty: World at War and [Prototype].
Movies. I won’t watch just anything. I’m really not a fan of comedy, but I am a huge fan of horror and terror, anything kind of dark and gritty. I’m not afraid of foreign and independent. The last move I really enjoyed was Quarantine, along with Inside and Irreversible. I also like some TV, right now I’m working my way through The Shield.
I believe in the technological singularity.
Music. I mostly listen to the full spectrum of Industrial, from Throbbing gristle and Nurse With Wound, to Trent Reznor, to Ministry, to The Birthday Massacre, to Rammstein, to Emilie Autumn. I attended Festival Kinetik this year; it was truly amazing, more about it later.
I also do a lot of thinking and reading about feminism, but that’s a topic for another day.
More posts as I find the motivation.
