This website, A Letter Short, was created solely for the personal webpage project, and as such contains the content required, supplemented by material that interests me, or was the result of a random whim. Therefore currently this site includes only a log of activities for classes and so forth, as well as outside links specifically specified. More interesting links and/or content will be added as it is come upon. I am afarid that I am not paticularly good at finding interesting things, though, (unless it's things like pencils or paper for school, which is not really interesting in the slightest) and as such progress towards more interesting content may be very slow. I would say something like 'you'll have to forgive me', but I doubt that anyone is really interested in this page, or cares about it's content. Which is how I like it, really. The lack of readership allows me not to feel pressured to write something that isn't lame.
I suppose I should clarify exactly who "I" am. I am Elizabeth Kelley, a first year Shodor apprentice. I have previously particpated in both the Shodor Scholars camp, and the Saturday Explorations. As such, I am fairly familiar with Shodor and associated procedures. I also claim a reasonable amount of knowledge on many of the programs used, as I have been exposed to them before. Beyond that, though, I know very little other than what is currently being taught in the apprenticeship program.
While I would like to claim not to be responsible, I am indeed the perpetrator of all crimes against taste present in this website. It is a sad thing, dear reader, to have been born without the gene that allows one to be tasteful, to color-coordinate, and to create attractive products. It dooms one to a life of tastelessness, and prevents one from being accepted into society as the tasteful person you know that you could be. It is this that truly threatens our nation today, and that ought to be foremost on the minds of our leaders. As one afflicted, I am in a unique position to do something about this menace -- this is why you, yes, you, ought to vote for me for Presid -- Oh, wait, sorry, that's the wrong document. I do apologize. Carry on.
I am sometimes wistful, rarely angry, often joyful, sporadically sarcastic, purposefully kind, mostly empathetic, unfortunately impatient, sometimes intellectual, occasionally eloquent, but always looking for something more than that which the eye can see - a deeper meaning.
