Hello World!

Every time I try to learn a new program from any sort of book, class, or even on my own, the pilot program is always "Hello, world." In the spirit of that, this is the title of my first post.

Of course, now every time I learn a new script or programming, I have to re-introduce myself to the world/internet. Why? Even though I'm writing a different language, the "Hello, World!" is still in English. Does the internet forget so easily?

Wait, don't answer that.

Of course, it's not like anyone in the world/interblag is going to read my trivial program or page, so why bother introducing myself at all? I mean, I don't want to reiterate myself over and over again, I want my declaration to change. Maybe I could switch up languages. Perhaps use the (pointless) random question generator on my profile page for this site. Quote the Doctor. Talk about the latest makeup trends. Talk gibberish like art the tent asploding of blue licorice shirt game.

I think I may just be opposed to introductions in general. Whenever I'm out with friends and we get into a situation where we must all introduce ourselves, I try to relieve the tension of going around the circle, waiting patiently for your turn to say your name that will be forgotten ten seconds after the new person's eyes meander from you. You've forgotten their name anyway, what does it matter?

In any case, I always introduce myself as my roommate. "Hi, I'm Tessa." Tessa always rolls her eyes at me. "Ginny... why? No, I'm Tessa, and she's Ginny." I argue about it for a few more moments before finally acknowledging that my name, in fact, does mirror that a certain Harry Potter heroine (since that seems to be the only way anyone in my generation is able to remember my name for our first few encounters).

So, this is me. Blogging about this strange life I lead. Maybe I should talk about it a little first.

As already stated, my name is Ginny. I am currently majoring in physics at one of the most beautiful universities in the country, surrounded by beautiful mountains and a great community. I have a crazy group of friends whose activities range from hiking to improv nights to Dungeons & Dragons (I'm currently playing a halfling rouge by the name of Lavi). I am somewhat musical -- I've played violin for 15 years and am currently trying to teach myself ukulele and guitar. Occasionally I become a velociraptor and go to the moon on a flying tortoise.

Just kidding; I had to make sure you were paying attention.

Anyway, this blog is going to be about random scienc-y or music-y or just funny things I hear in my life. Maybe a rant or two, but I'll always try to keep it light-hearted. I hope you enjoy.

Hello, world.
