I have an [[wp:Associate's degree|associate of arts degree]] in [[wp:Journalism|journalism]] from [[wp:North Idaho College|North Idaho College]] which I earned in May 2007. I am now a student at the [[wp:University of Idaho|University of Idaho]] pursuing a [[wp:Bachelor's degree|bachelor of science degree]] in the same field with a minor in political science. At NIC, I was the news editor of the college's national award-winning student newspaper, ''[http://www.nicsentinel.com The Sentinel]''. There I received the [http://www.idahopressclub.com Idaho Press Club]'s first place award for student news reporting in 2006; the same story placed third in the five-state [[wp:Society of Professional Journalists|Society of Professional Journalists Region 10]] student competition that year. Currently, I write a weekly opinion column and draw editorial cartoons for UI's student newspaper, ''[http://www.uiargonaut.com The Argonaut]''.

I am a [[wp:Liberalism|liberal]], an [[wp:Atheism|atheist]], and a [[wp:Vegetarianism|vegetarian]]. I have issues with [[wp:Anxiety disorders|anxiety]]. I am an animal lover (not literally!). I have a cat (adopted off the street), nine fishes, and two dogs, both [[wp:Border collie|border collie]]s. I am a huge fan of sarcasm, dark humor, and pranks. I read a lot of nonfiction and am particularly interested in technology and Internet culture.

I have been a fan of [[Pokémon]] since 1998. I was previously a [[shipping]] forum moderator at [[TRHQ]], where my username was '''rgmusashi''' ('''r'''ocket '''g'''ang '''musashi'''). I still use this name on [[wp:LiveJournal|LiveJournal]]. "Argy" is the pronunciation of the individual letters "rg," which most people called me.
 
I have not seen a number [[Orange Islands]] or [[Johto]] episodes because I temporarily lost some interest in Pokémon during that time period (partially because I had trouble accessing the episodes), so I'm afraid I can't be of much assistance when it comes to writing about that saga. However, I have seen all of pre-Orange Islands [[Kanto]], every episode of the [[Advanced Generation series]], every episode of the [[Diamond & Pearl series]], and every [[Pokémon movie]].
 
Beginning with Advanced Generation, I no longer watch the English-language dub of the anime, choosing instead to view the original Japanese version. I am much more familiar with the Japanese names, voices, and personalities of many characters, so I use them by default unless I am writing an article for Bulbapedia or Bulbanews that is not related to the Japanese version. I do, however, know all the English names of the Pokémon and main human characters, so don't be afraid to use them when communicating with me.
 
I have a beginner level of Japanese, but more than the average English-speaking Pokémon fan. I can read and write [[wp:Katakana|katakana]] and read [[wp:Hiragana|hiragana]] without assistance. However, my beginner's vocabulary, lack of familiarity with [[wp:Kanji|kanji]], and underdeveloped grammar skills limit my communication of the language.
 
I have a small but growing collection of Pokémon plushes, most of which are [[Poké Doll (plush)|Poké Doll]]s. My current PokéDolls are {{p|Lucario}}, [[Sceptile (Pokémon)|Jukain]], [[Mime Jr. (Pokémon)|Manene]], [[Wobbuffet (Pokémon)|Sonans]], [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|Naetle]], [[Piplup (Pokémon)|Pochama]], and [[Munchlax (Pokémon)|Gonbe]]. Other plushes are two [[Mudkip (Pokémon)|Mizugorou]], two [[Treecko (Pokémon)|Kimori]] (one generic and one of [[Ash's Sceptile|Satoshi's]]), [[Corphish (Pokémon)|Heigani]], [[Lotad (Pokémon)|Hassboh]], and a [[Croagunk (Pokémon)|Gureggru]] whose cheeks light up.
