| Introduction | I'm a first-year student at Oberlin from Washington state. It's great here for a geeky, quirky word-nerd! I brought me cloak with me (yes, I have a cloak--a gorgeous, warm, forest-green one)and I've already worn it once, to a marathon Lord of the Rings Extended Edition screening. I'm not sure what I'm going to major in, but I'm really interested in social psychology and writing, so probably something in the social sciences or English/Creative Writing/Rhetoric conglomeration. I have a wacky sense of humor, love cats and chocolate, and enjoy swimming. I am proud to declare myself a huge geek, especially about really good epic fantasy, funny stories, or great writing. |

You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?
I start under the back corner of the ancient house. The china is in a bulletproof glass case. Together with a group of desperate nine-year-olds, my friends and I are going to break into that case and destroy all the china.
