'''''Cabhan''''' is the nickname for me, Alex, living in [[Maryland]] of the [[United States]].  I am, unfortunately, not associated with the [[Ireland|Irish]] county of [[County Cavan|An Cabhan]], though the [[Irish language|Gaelic]] translation ("Grassy Hill") somewhat reflects my lazy, natural way of life.  I am also quite obsessed with the [[Celts]] =).

== Real Life ==

Let's see...what am I...

Firstly, it should be noted that I'm a student.  I'm a freshman at [[Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts)|Northeastern University]] in [[Boston]].  I'm studying for a [[Bachelor of Science|BS]] in [[Computer Science]].

Well, I'm very interested in religion.  Personally, I'm an atheist with a great interest in [[Neopaganism]] and [[Taoism]] (especially the more philosophical points).  While I very greatly disagree with most religions, I am fascinated by religions throughout the world, and do enjoy studying them.  But if you come here protesting my contributions to a religious article, well, there's my personal background.

I'm also very interested in computers.  I currently am quite proficient in [[HTML]] (not a real programming language, I know =p) and excellent with [[Java programming language|Java]].  I've made great use of [[Perl]], but my current love is [[C programming language|C]], though I also know [[Java programming language|Java]], [[C++]], [[Objective-C]] and such things.  My computer currently runs entirely on [[Linux]], [[Gentoo Linux]] to be exact, though I do own a [[MacBook Pro]] laptop as well.

As far as other interests go...I love music.  I'm really into [[heavy metal]] these days, with some personal favorites being [[Iron Maiden]], [[Metallica]], and recently, [[Mägo de Oz]].  I don't play myself, but I do love listening.

I also love reading.  I'm a big fan of [[fantasy]] and [[science fiction]].  I'm a humongous [[Star Wars]] geek, and I've read almost all the books.  But the two greatest books of all time are [[The Mists of Avalon]] and [[The Lord of the Rings]].  I've recently been enjoying other works by [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]], as well as the [[Dune universe|Dune]] series.  I'm recently moving into some Math and Philosophy, both of which interest me greatly.

I'm also very interested in poliics, though I would never run for an office myself.  I'm extremely liberal, with [[socialist]] leanings.  I love the ideas of [[Communism]], but I'm enough of a realist to know that it will never occur.  While not gay myself, one of my most passionate issues is gay rights.

== Wikipedia ==

As far as Wikipedia habits go: I tend to not make major revisions or changes to pages (though I have done so in the past).  I tend to watch certain articles closely and contribute small bits where I can.  If classifications must be made, I'm a deletionist: I have no qualms at all about nuking some content we have.  I consider myself to have excellent spelling and a good grasp of grammar, so I tend to make a number of edits in those areas.

=== Articles I'm Currently Focused On ===
* [[Satanism]]
* [[Wicca]]
* [[Dark Ages (computer game)]]

So yeah...that's all for me so far...if you want to e-mail me or anything, you can do so from the box on the left.
