Eskon
(Jim "Skippy" McGeehin)

Biographical sketch

When described by my friends, I am "the only man who, after curing the common cold, would not celebrate, but instead work on cancer." Born in Delaware, I have lived in many places, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and brief stints in Chicago and Boston. The big city is nice to visit, but not to live in (crazy cab drivers...) I currently reside in southeastern Pennsylvania, in mushroom country.

My relatives besides the obvious (you mean I don't have parents?!) are my triplet brother and sister. The whole clan is brown-haired and tall, but after that the resemblence ends. I am also the uncle of two nieces, daughters of my older half-sister.

As of right now, I am a junior in high school, with planned majors in either Business Adminstration or Mechanical Engineering. I'm taking advanced math, physics, economics. According to all of my English teachers, I have a remarkable talent for the written and spoken word.

Philosophically, I've been described as an eternal pessimist. The glass isn't even half-empty, I just keep it away from the faucet entirely. I believe myself as a realist. Everything's not going to go the way you expect, so don't anticipate anything. Either way, I'm  a perfectionist to the core, but I don't hesitate to admit I'm wrong when I'm proven so.

Future aspirations are numerous indeed. Biggest goal is to be seen as a role model for all people as a person who led a good life. Other goals picking up a published work with my name on it, and going of to college to prove my mettle.

Website

Despite my knowledge of web-based writing, I do not currently have a webpage. I've worked on my robotics team's webpage (www.moe365.org).

Favourite Book Most stuff by Tom Clancy, and of course, almost anything fantastical, especially the great J.R.R. Tolkien.
Favourite Musician My musical taste is very odd. I like most things with a beat. I've listened from everything from Dire Straits to Rammstein. I don't buy music, I just pick a random CD from my sister's, father's, etc. music collection and listen in.
Favourite Game Baldur's Gate series sticks out, but if it's a game, all you have to do is put it in front of me and I start to like it.
Hobbies Reading, writing, playing computer games, thinking great and wonderous things, and traveling through time (or at least I plan to).
