They all scream ” notice me senpai” and I whisper “no”.
I am a Nerd, a Fan-Girl, a book-dragon, and even Otaku, but most of all I am me.

Raised in a small town in Oregon, I spent most of my time playing
Pokemon and Digimon with my sister, watching cartoons or watching my
dad play video games. Growing up in that way was the perfect recipe
for an artsy person like me. Now I’m here trying to get my multimedia
arts degree at Lane, and hopefully get an internship at Disney
Animation Studios. I dream of living in Japan for a few years,
then London, and to finally settle down in Canada or the West Coast.

Here are a some icebreaker facts about me:

• I can quack like a duck, I had ducks when I was young, and it just became a thing.
• My favorite video game is BioShock Infinite, (Playstation all the way!)
• I love to collect movies and books, I love a great story.
• I hated reading until I graduated high school, picking up a book was like torture to me.
• I love “SuperWhoLock”. If you want to talk about any of the golden trio, I am more than happy to talk about it.
• I have dyed my hair over 100 times.
• I went to San Diego Comic Con last year, and it was the best moment of my life.
• I love to cosplay, my cosplay project right now is Kaneki Ken from Tokyo Ghoul.

About me… My name is Kimberlee and I love all things creative. I am currently pursuing my degree in Multimedia Arts at Lane Community College. I love photography, cooking, drawing, reading, museums, art galleries, theater, and traveling… Actually there is not much I don’t enjoy. My dream vacation is Italy.

I worked many years in a medical office feeling like I was going no where professionally. Overworked and underpaid it was really taking a toll on me. I was lucky to meet someone very special who helped to convince me that I was strong, talented and worthy. I took a leap of faith and here I am.

I feel my studies at Lane have helped me to learn a lot about myself. There have been many highs and some lows, but, no matter what the situation I have always walked away with new found knowledge. Learning is a passion of mine that I would like to pursue for the rest of my life.

I am still not sure where I will end up, however, I am not too worried. I know as long as I strive to be the best I can be and always have the desire and determination to do better everything will be just fine.

Well, hi there. My name is Ryan, welcome to my first attempt at this whole blogging thing. I don’t particularly like writing about myself, but I’m going to give it a shot.

As the title of the site suggests, I am a musician, gamer, and an avid vaper (e-cigarette user). Music has been a huge part of my life since before I could even walk. My dad is a guitarist, bassist and a singer so naturally I grew up to love music. He raised me on -70’s and -80’s rock/metal, and I own my own self-build home studio. I mainly play guitar but also love to play bass, drums, some wind instruments and as of the last few years have been really into singing/vocals.

Video games are one of my biggest passions in life. I love all sorts of games, but mostly grew up with the amazing things Nintendo had to offer in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. One of my earliest memories is watching my parents play Super Mario World for the Super NES in our living room, so it’s been with me almost as long as music has. Video games are how I met most of my friends in elementary school, especially through Pokemon Red and Blue versions. Video games are still how I make most of my friends, but it’s mostly online these days through games like Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike: Global Offensive or Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.

In the last few years I have taken up a new hobby that appeals to the tinkering/building part of my brain, which is vaping or using electronic cigarettes. It’s allowed me to make a lot of amazing friends and keep m away from tobacco products. If you smoke and wish to quit without the harshness of cold turkey, I and many of my close friends would highly recommend looking into vaping. It’s overall cheaper, much healthier and proven to be much less addictive.

Thanks for taking time to read the ramblings of a boring madman!

Hello! My name Is Trenten, and I am 26 years. My course of study is multi media design, I am a full time student, I work a full time graveyard job, as full as a full time dad of a 7-year-old boy named

Kolten. Not to mention I coach 3 sports a year. To say I keep busy might be an understatement. With all that I do I have been giving a nickname from my son and all his teammates. They know me as Superman.

I am currently engaged to the love of my life and am in the process of planning a wedding, which believe it or not is the most difficult thing I am doing in my life right now. Coaching is a huge part of my life, its what I enjoy most outside of my family. I coach football, basketball, and baseball. My son plays all 3 sports and I have been coaching the same group of kids for the past 4 years. Its been one of my greatest joys watching these kids grow before my eyes as if they are my own. I hope to someday after I graduate to be in the media sports field. Weather it be sports radio, ESPN or covering a team in some way like the Portland Trailblazers.

I am hoping that I can successfully combine my sport knowledge with my multi media degree and have a lasting career I enjoy.

p.s. Don’t tell anyone who I am 😉

My name is Carissa Carlin. I was born in Eugene OR. and have stayed here my whole life. I love the violin and have played it for nine years. I have been drawing or creating things for as far back as I can remember. My favorite styles of music are Country and Christian. I have not traveled out of the state very much, but I did end up going to Mexico on a missions trip with my church in my junior and senior year of high school.Toward the end of my senior year in high school everyone kept telling me that I needed to have a plan for college, so I came up with one. It was not the best plan I have ever made, but it satisfied my parents. My plan was to go into the culinary program at lane along with doing the baking certificate. I ended up doing the program for two terms and finding out that I did not have a passion for cooking like others in the class, so I decided to not continue with the program. I ended up continuing the baking classes though.

I love art, movies, and animation, and when considering what other degree I could go for I looked for something with one of those types of classes in them. I ended up hearing about the Graphic Design program and thought that I would check it out. Then I heard about the Multimedia program and thought it would be really fun to try out too. I am now in the process of figuring out if I want to go with Graphic Design or with Multimedia.

I like to think of myself as a man of opposites. I love talking about interests I share with people, but overall I prefer not to talk to people that often. Friends often come to me for carefully thought-out advice, yet in all other things I’m impatient and easily frustrated.

As far as the interests I mentioned earlier, I’m definitely part of the nerd crowd. I play a certain magic-themed card game I will not name here in case of copyrights, and have a lifelong passion for all things video game. I am currently attending Lane Community College, and my major is Multimedia Design. My goal is to build foundational skills to lead me into the artistic aspects of gaming.
