Hello, fellow bloggers and readers. My name is Avery, as you can see elsewhere on
this blog. I'm a freshman here at MCLA,
and come from Groton, Massachusetts. I
have always been highly interested in philosophy, and as such have chosen to
major in it. Music is also a great
interest of mine; I play the pedal harp, the electric guitar, the piano, and a
number of other instruments, and enjoy listening to a wide variety of music,
from classical to metal to Celtic folk.
I do compose some music, but am not as yet proficient enough at that to
try presenting my compositions in a formal setting. My one sibling, a younger sister, also plays
and writes music.
I am an almost-vegetarian, for ethical
reasons rather than for my health; the reason I cannot call myself a complete
vegetarian is that I still do consume shellfish. In regards to religion, I am an agnostic. My literary taste, similarly to my musical
taste, varies widely; I like many contemporary authors (Terry Pratchett,
Meredith Ann Pierce, Garth Nix, etc.) and also older authors (Edgar Allen Poe,
Arthur Conan Doyle, Franz Kafka, etc.).
I like reading mythology, drawing, and attempting to psychoanalyse
people, and am a black belt in Uechi-ryu karate.
That is all I can think of off the top of
my head which might be of interest. I
look forward to being able to participate in this class and get to know all of
you better through discussions in it!
P.S. For anyone interested, the admittedly
rather peculiar title of my blog comes from a book by Terry Pratchett.
