Some quick notes:
I am a software engineer who really wants to be an astrophysicist. Right now I am bouncing between colleges trying to get my gen ed classes done so that I can finally attend university to finish an actual degree. I have a background in math, physics, and astronomy at an undergrad level, just no degree).
In my spare time (not that I get much nowadays) I read sci-fi, fantasy, and general fiction. I also am into role playing (D&D, Vampire, Werewolf).
