My Interests
editIn my spare time here in Michigan, I sing, swim, travel, read extensively, play the piano, observe metal birds, hang out with friends, and write my own stories and poetry. I've had a couple of pieces published in various magazines and anthologies. I am an aspiring historian who currently studies at a strangely excellent place, except when I don't.
Music is my love, and Quiz Bowl is my obsession.
I am well-versed in European history, especially that of British monarchs from the houses of Tudor, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Windsor, and I have also done extensive research into the last members of the Romanov family and Marie Antoinette, among others. I am also quite familiar with aspects of the history of the United States, particularly that of Michigan mining history, obscure as that is. I have done in-depth studies into Howard Hughes and the Amish, as well.
I am a royal watcher and follow the news of such families as the royals of Denmark, Spain, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Monaco, and the United Kingdom.
I generally do not contribute to non-English language articles, though I have a decent command of written French and am working to add German, Spanish, Finnish, and Luxembourgish to that list.
My Goals
editAs a Wikipedia user, I hope to fix grammar and spelling mistakes wherever I see them, so that it might aid in ease of readability; fix factual errors where I can detect them, thereby adding to the credibility and factuality of the article; remove vandalism and bias where it seems necessary; and perform a variety of clean-up work to make articles look neat and tidy.
I am one of the most spelling/grammar/punctuation obsessed people you are likely to meet, so just let me know of a page where I can work my magic. I am also seeking projects to which I can devote myself, in order to meet the goals listed above.
About Me
editI am a person of varied interests, as one can easily see by my userpage, and I am currently in my early twenties.
I finally figured out how to tab my userboxes over to the right side. That was one of the crowning achievements of my life.
And, if I may say so very colloquially, my userpage "owns" this one.
