====Introduction====


So yes, this is the personal page of evkl, who's your average 17-year old kid, residing in southeastern PennsylvaniaWhich happens to be in the USA.  I'm currently in my senior year of high school, the 12th grade in the American systemThis page is in the first person, mainly because I'm talking about myself, a hobby I enjoy more than most.
I'm Evan. I'm now attending college somewhere in the north-central part of New York State and enjoying it quite a lot, which explains why I'm not around here as much.  I hail from suburban Philadelphia, which gets an unnecessarily bad rap for a whole lot of reasons, some of which I don't fully understand, but many of which I do.  Anyway, I grew up there, so I suppose I liked it enough.
 
Do I still like this?  This being the whole Bulbapedia thing.  I like the institution, of course, and I'm very proud of where it's come over the past few years, although my interest in subjects pertaining to it has waned as I've maturedBut it's a fun time around here, and I'd like to think that I'm not inactive in the community.  I still enjoy keeping things nice and fresh and orderly around here, don't get me wrong--but I am no longer what one might call an active contributor.  I do a lot of work in the policy of Bulbagarden.net and planning on new projects and such, when I have the timeOtherwise, I'm kind of laid-back.  Pretty normal, I guess.

Line 46: Line 49:
My real name is a well-kept secret known to only a small handful of my friends in the online community; the name '''evkl''' is a combination of ''Evan'' and the first two letters of my last name, ''Kl''.  This has led to some calling me "Evan Kayell", which might as well be a last name.

The actual name should be ''evkl'', with no capital letters.  Bulbapedia's software does not support this, nor does Damian Silverblade, who feels the need to put evkl's name in all caps.
