[edit] Expanded Useless Information

Kith[1] is a no-longer-teenage (eek!) math geek with vague ideas of becoming a mechanical engineer, though she went to an arts school. She attends Bowdoin College, class of 2010 and is double majoring in mathematics and geology/physics.

She is a small-time grammar, spelling, and punctuation nazi (though she makes no claims whatsoever to being perfectly right at all times), and pursuit of such will probably make up the overwhelming majority of her edits. She enjoys etymology while having almost no talent for spoken languages, though she can hold her own in HTML, C, and BASIC enough to program a TI-83+ graphing calculator.

Kith reads extensively and obsessively, often sci-fi and fantasy or geektastic non-fiction. Her current passions include Terry Pratchett, Diana Wynne Jones, Lois McMaster Bujold, and Richard Feynman. She discovered Doctor Who in the winter of her freshman year... help!
