He is now at Arizona State University trying to achieve that, but he has no idea what sort of career he should get into afterwards. His long time dream has been to be an author, but he has been hampered with an extremely sporadic and low output of works. Save for a BattleTech novel he wrote in 1996, he does not have any works longer than 30k (and that one was his first MGH part). He hopes that working on Improfanfic will help him in this regard. After being somewhat disheartened by getting a 60% on his first history quiz, and spending a week getting fully up to date in that same class (at the expense of other classes. >_<) He has decided that he needs a break. He decided to go to California to find a cute, otaku girlfriend, and realized that that's where the party is being held. Update: Arrived at the party by unknown (and unconsciousing) reasons... And was soon sent on "Damien's Great Phoebe Quest" in which he attempts to find the missing kiwi so as to bring her to the party, but his efforts are mostly in futility, and should humorously highligh DR Folly(tm). Fellow Authors, please ask me before you: -Have me drink -Have me have sex (not that it's very likely to happen) Fellow Authors, please do not: -Have me use drugs -Have me smoke
