Hi Gals and Guys,
I'm me and I'm new. I've been meaning to find a Diabetes forum like this for a while but never got around to it.
Well, I just graduated from University of California, Irvine with a B.S. in Information & Computer Science. I was diagnosed with Type I when I was 16 (6 years ago) after getting a physical for swimming season (I was MVS three years in a row and team captain for the same three years. I placed for zone every single year and when to state 3 times. I love swimming and I am trying to get back into it.) At Irvine, I wanted to do something different than swimming so that I tried out UCI Crew. That was a very fun experience.....and very hard. I only did that for my first year because my curriculum for ICS was too time consuming. I really enjoyed my time at UCI too.
I have quite eclectic tastes as you will come to know (and probably not understand.) I add a lot of humo(u)r to everything I do verbally and physically.
First, I love being active; I still love swimming (and I want to find a Master's swim program where I find my job.) I love weight lifting, mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, and skipping.
I like computers and computer games. I am an aficionado and collector for Adventure games (you know, the old style games where you solve puzzles and click on the sceneries and stuff..) Adventure games are my favorite because they are a lost gem that still is shining bright. There is amazing talent and ideas that go into adventure games. The main forum that I frequent is called Just ADventure Forum branching from Justadventure.com, which is the biggest ADventure game website on the web. I also like other genres like action and rpgs; I critic these games much more than adventures because they have to be really fun for me to play.
Yes, I am nerdy. Yes, I am tall. Yes, people think I'm neeto. And yes, people think I am handsome (I think so sometimes too.)
I like reading. Mostly adventure and satirical novels like those by Clive Cussler and Terry Pratchet, respectively.
I love Macguyver (did you know that dictionary.com has this in their dictionary; however, they have is spelled wrong.) I love Seinfeld, Stargate SG1, and the Family Guy. I freaking love zombie horror movies like Evil Dead and Dawn of the Dead. My favorite movie style is Post-apocalyptic....oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa.......
I love 80s comedies like Spies like Us, Airplane, and Hudson Hawk.
One of my most favorite recent movies is Napolean Dynamite......holy crappies this movie is awesome. If you haven't seen it and you grew up in the 80s, you gotta see it.
You'll soon see that I like almost all movies...I do not critic them like my games and music.
My music taste is definitely the most unique, expansive, and strange but I will leave this for another time....all I will say is that my favorite genre starts with a "D"
SO that is a little about me (and my squeaky shoes.)
I wanted to join this forum so that I can socialize with ya'll and continue to stay active in the diabetes community (plus give you guys and gals some swell humo(u)r.)
Let me say some more about my diabetes. I've had excellent control since I was diagnosed. I did not have to change much of my eating and exercise because it was pretty much in place. Currently, I am on Humalog (Lily pens) and Lantus and I use a OneTouch UltraSmart. My last HbA1c was 6.2, and I think this next one will be 6.
Oh, and since I've graduated, I am now in Reno, NV whilist I apply for jobs for Southern California; I am looking for Software development or engineering or such........
Anyway, let the games begin.....or threads......or.....ummm......something random like........ seagulls........
