 * [|Shawn C.] **

==Hello! I'm Shawn Choi. I'm from the Digital Media Program. That's my face. Truly a face of wonder. I'm not very interesting.... I spend most of my time goofing off on the Internet and/or videogames. Uhm. I spend a lot of my time/effort finding flaws in things and hating the world. :P. Uhhhhh I don't like the company Apple, I like Nintendo (IT"S NOT A KID'S VIDEO GAME COMPANY), I love Steam (non gamers won't get that) I don't like videogame consoles and I love music (almost all music today sucks POP SUCKS My favorite band is Queen). I cannot stand people that are: ignorant, annoying, and/or a stupid sheep that follows society blindly. If you are not any of the above we will get along splendidly. <3==

[|Grant T.]


==Hi! I am Grant Thompson. I REALLY LIKE COMPUTER GRAPHICS, and I have for two years now. So, I came here to West to do so. Go Blender (a 3D Program)! I am not two-headed, but if you want me to be, look at the photo instead of me when you talk to me. I am a big Apple fan (unlike Shawn), and Windows somewhat irks me. However, Linux is my best friend because it is free! Free software is my favorite thing ever! Go open-source and GPL! I also like CHOCOLATE!!! and Video Games like Pokemon and Legend of Zelda. You may claim me to be a nerd, and if you do so, you would be correct. I also like NCIS. I haven't seen much of NCIS : LA, but that's okay. By the way, I've been learning JavaScript on the side, so yeah...==

=Kai J.=



=Hello, I'm Kai. As you can tell from the picture, I am devishly handsome. I can also grow a mustache. Since I'm already being narcissistic, let's talk some more about me. I am in love with movies, if they were in physical form, I would stalk it and most likely get filed a restraining order from my beloved movies. I also enjoy music, but I suppose you can call me picky. Like Shawn C., many of today's songs irk me greatly, but you can still find good music even today. I've always been a rock kind of dude, and really I can listen to any kind of rock and... well, rock out. Give me metal, classic, alternative, I don't really care. Also, I'm a mega nerd, though some of my traits and looks may contradict that. The two people above me are the only people I know here, but hopefully I'll know all of you by the end of this.=

Noah T.
==Hi. My name is Noah Thorson and I am in the Biotechnology program here in West Tech.

==Hello. My name is Sabrina. My major at WestCTA is Biotechnology. I am a bit of a nerd in the sense that I actually love school. I love to read and write just for fun and I find some math fun as well. Working on computers is not necessarily my strongest point, but I am at some things. I also love sports, which counter acts the fact that I am a nerd. I play volleyball, basketball, pole vaulting, and archery. I like to draw and sing. My favorite band is Evanescence followed by Linkon Park, but I promise I'm not goth. I think that this wiki project will be a great experience and I hope that I can learn something from everyone else who is doing it.==
