I've been a member of the stream almost since the stream began in July of 2008. I was a rather avid gamer back in the day but now I have been going through relentless amounts of schoolwork and extracurricular activities. I started with the Sonic series back in my childhood, a game I will treasure forever as it started my love for video games. Now I am currently playing Playstation 3 and Wii whenever I get the chance to. Favorite video game series include: Mortal Kombat, Kingdom Hearts, Hot Shots Golf, , Smash Bros., and Mario Kart. I know, pretty unique little combination of favorites.
Like Tom, I will be studying in the field of music education at the school I am enrolled in, first going for my Bachelor's degree, and perhaps a Masters later on. I play the Euphonium. Yeah, bet you've never heard of that instrument before. I've been playing it for 7 years, and am now a proud owner of a beautiful professional horn. I hope to someday teach music and contribute to a program that is unfortunately dying in some public schools.
I will probably not be able to go to the stream as often as I would like to now, but I promise to visit every now and then. It really does amaze me how much this stream has built over the past 5 years and it's been an honor to be there for most of those 5 years. It's been such a unique experience to interact with people I don't know at all, but to have fun and have a good conversation whether it be about the game we're playing or off-topic discussions, has been an extremely enjoyable experience. I really do hope I can join the stream as often as I can beginning August 19th, August 12th will probably be the last time I co-host for a little while unfortunately as I have to prepare myself for moving in and getting ready for the college experience. So yeah, I have a lot going for me and it's sad that I'm going have to take another long break from being on the stream, but I promise I will return, excited to say hi to all my favorite stream friends. Thanks for all of the fun memories so far Tom and stream friends of mine.
