David Newel is Too Lazy to Take a Picture

Hello, my name is David Newel, and this is my wiki page. You probably came across this at random or by accident. That's quite unfortunate because I tend to ramble on and on, and now you have to read it. Oh well...

I was born in Chicago, Illinois. I was a common pasty young nerd then and often times got beaten up by other students, most of which were thirteen-year-olds that were held back for a rather long time to still be in the fourth grade.

By fifth grade, I moved over to California and left my childhood friends. I never saw them again. However, I did become a Math geek and reading nerd and didn't get beat up for it, although I was still treated like crap. Forced to step in it sometimes too.

Then, in Junior High, I was a general science geek, and started taking an interest in one of the CAD classes offered (forced onto me) by the school I was at. My best friend then got suspended from school for wearing a trench coat during the time of the Columbine shootings, and then his parents and he moved to Washington and I barely saw any of them ever again.

Later on, I made another friend in high school. He got suspended for cross-dressing in school for Halloween, somewhere during the 1940's, because the school still believed it was in that era. His mother moved him to another school, and I rarely see him, but still do occasionally.

In high school, I became a writing geek, a theater freak, an artist, a piano-player, a choir member, and spent my senior year suffering through AP classes for the first time while everybody else was having fun.

The story continues as I make my way to college. Although accepted to UC Davis, I was strapped for cash, so I went to a junior college. For some reason, I decided to pursue Computer Science, and I never really made friends there. I'd probably never see them again, anyways. Likely, those that I made friends with will have dropped out or moved on by now. It's unfortunate...

As of right now, I am a junior at UC Davis, and my major is Computer Science. You'll probably never see this story again, and I'll probably never see you, either. There's a moral in this...

I'll probably come up with one if I ever see this wiki again.

Stressing out over going from a semester to a quarter system. Rethinking choice of major. Not having an especially great time doing it either. Many deadlines coming up, and I was apparently supposed to have started working on them weeks before I ever realized their existence.

Designing games. Oh, I forgot to mention that, didn't I? Yeah... I design video games for a hobby. Let's not be too amazed by that thought. By 'design', I mean 'struggle an extreme amount over a frustrating project, only to find I don't enjoy working on it' and by 'games' I mean 'items that people ultimately find frustrating to play, only to find they don't enjoy playing it.' By 'video' I mean 'computer' because I've yet to figure a way to program a games console.

Unfortunately, I don't really have any of my stuff online. That would probably be a more productive project to pursue. By pursue, I mean 'ultimately find I don't enjoy making.'
