Hey everyone! I'm Zippy. Or Taw. Either one.

I love words.
Words are awesome.
Anathema. Putrid. Spackle. Dank. Elbow. Gaggle. Pundit. Vivacious.....

You may look at words like that and just say "Okay...those are words. Cool story." But I look at words and see things like this:
STARTLING
STARTING
STARING
STRING
STING
SING
SIN
IN
I

Remove one letter each time and it is STILL a real word. Isn't that awesome?

Or how about this:
Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein, Therein.
All those words can be seen without rearranging any letters.
SO AWESOME.
Even just thinking about every-day words is awesome. Words like "banana" and "floss."

But enough about words, I've barely introduced myself! :P

I'm Zippy/Taw (as you already know), I'm a nerd (As you probably guessed), and I'm perfectly fine with that fact. :)
I like people. I like to talk. And I love talking to people...
I have ADHD and Tourette's Syndrome, along with a few other minor things, but hey, we all have our issues, right?
I like math. I hate math classes. I love to learn. I hate the educational system.
I love thinking. Specifically problem solving.

My love for learning inspires me to try all sorts of things, leading to the smorgasbord of activities and ideas that I refer to as my interests.

Programming, problem solving, psychology, building things, playing music, composing music, singing, acting, dancing, drawing, painting, marching band, colorguard, writing, stilt-walking, juggling, spinning poi, gymnastics, aerial acrobatics, teaching things to people, laughing, dreaming, meeting new people, just generally being around people, telling jokes (usually bad puns or obnoxiously witty remarks), correcting spelling/grammar, and obviously a lot more things.

I'm 18, I graduated high school a year ago, but I'm taking a year off before college. I am currently dancing 13 hours a week doing Jazz, Lyrical, Ballet, Ballroom, Hip-Hop, Breaking, and Popping/Locking. This year I'm dancing competitively in Jazz, Ballroom, Hip-Hop, and Popping/Locking.

I'm a self-taught programmer with plans to take actual CS courses in college. I started with VB4 when I was 7 (looking back at that always makes me laugh), then I learned Flash ActionScript 2.0, then 3.0, then TI-BASIC, then a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit of z80 ASM, then Java, then 4 days ago I started poking around with Axe, and now I'm here. :D

I play a lot of instruments. I won't list them all right now, but if you really want I can tell you.

I teach at a circus camp in the summer, hence the stilt-walking, juggling, poi, gymnastics, and aerial acrobatics in my list of interests.

I'm one of those people who starts a bunch of projects but is conveniently too ambitious to finish any of them before starting more and completely forgetting about the old ones. I wish that wasn't the case, but oh well.

That's basically me. If you have any questions about me or even about anything really, I'll be happy to answer them, at least to the best of my knowledge.
Glad to be on the forums :D

My apologies for writing so much,
-Zippy Dee

I prefer to think of them as explorations. It's like spelunking into language. :D

My favorite word is juxtapose.
Also the longest word is the longest molecule chain, which would probably be some derivation of DNA. But the REAL longest word must be in English :P
In-progress: Graviter (...)
