Introduction
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 matured. But 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 time. Otherwise, I'm kind of laid-back. Pretty normal, I guess.
Interests
Mm. Yes. I do have interests, and I do have a life outside of Bulbapedia. It's basically as follows, in no order.
- Amateur political pundit.
- Soccer. And football. Both of 'em.
- Cycling
- Writing
- Poetry
Musical Interests
I have a minor side interest in a lot of music. I've played a handful of instruments for various lengths of time. Haven't written any songs, not yet, but I intend to do that sometime. Eventually. Anyway, some bands and artists I'd suggest checking out:
Academics
I have some experience in all of the following subjects:
Computer Science: Intro to Java, VisualBasic, and C++
English: Journalism
Foreign Language: French
History: American, European, and Middle Eastern
Mathematics: Calculus and Economics
Sciences: Chemistry
On evkl's name
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 doesn't support this, but, as Mick Jagger once said, you can't always get what you want.
