3 things...

First official day back at uni today (other days were just orientation days, actually had classes today). Was pretty good. My teacher decided to add the Weiniawski Etudes Op. 18 to my repertoir, which will be fun to learn. I like Weiniawski.

In Eneksis (a choir I sing in), we spent some time introducing ourselves, as we had new members to the choir. As part of that, we told the choir one thing that they didn't know about us. I thought, what the hey, I may as well do that on here.

So Here you go, three things that I don't think you know about me.

1. I collect Phantom Comics.
Yes, it's true. I'm a comic collector. I'm not sure how many I have at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it's over 50. Wait a minute, let me go check. 87. 87 Phantom Comics, and that's not including replicas that come with the annuals, or the bonus booklet on lee Falk that just came out to help celebrate the 70th birthday of the Phantom. With another 31 comics coming this year, I'm sure to break the 100 mark sometime in the middle of the year.

2. I'm a second-generation PK
Yup, that's right, not only am I a PK, but i'm a second generation PK. What's a PK? I hear you ask. PK can stand for a number of things all meaning the same thing: Preachers Kid, Pastor's Kid, Priests Kid. They're all the same thing. My dad's a priest and my mum is a deacon - both in the anglican church. Before they moved to the Anglican Church, they were both ordained ministers in the Churches of Christ. So what makes me a second-generation PK? The fact that my paternal grandfather (my dad's dad) was also a priest in the Churches of Christ. Now, many people would think that that means I'm going to get a calling to become a priest one day. Personally, I don't think so, I believe music is my calling, so I don't plan on getting ordained any time soon.

3. I am a geek
Yup, I admit it. I enjoy spending time on my computer. I really enjoyed learning XHTML and CSS and redesigning my website, which I had only redesigned just one year ago (which is not long in internet terms). I have learnt Visual Basic, and now use as little Microsoft software as possible - I use Mozilla instead of Internet explorer and outlook, I use OpenOffice.org instead of Microsoft office, I even use Notepad2 instead of the microsoft notepad that they provide with windows.

Well that's it for now. It'd be interesting for some people to add their three (truthful) things that people on here don't know about them. What the heck.

Oh, and I'd just like to say Hi to Emma, who spent the last 15 minutes refreshing my blog page while waiting for me to update it.

If you like that stuff, you should try downloading Java...now that's a good time. I've written many programs including one that insults anyone who doesn't know my password (one of my earlier ones).

You mean you don't use emacs?!? (or at least vi?) Only a violin-playing, comic-collecting, 2ndG PK Geek would neglect the basics of nerddom to such a horrific extent. ;)

(It's okay. Some of my best friends collect comics. No, really, they do!)

OK. Here are three things you don't know about me. 1. I own a biwa. 2. I played in a ceilidh band for several years. 3. I buy most things on ebay or at second hand stores.
