Hi! I’m Nicholas, and this is my humble little website you have stumbled upon. I assume you clicked on the appropriately named link to learn a little more about me, so I'll try my best to oblige.
I like drawing, cooking, and playing video games (typically older games that were around before this era of releasing unfinished games at full price, and then charging more money for content that the game should have already launched with). Thankfully, I was lucky enough to experience the internet for those last few years that it was still relatively non-commercialized/corporatized, but I feel like I still kinda missed out on what made the early internet age truly great. I had dabbled with things like Myspace and Blogger as a child, and even learned some basic HTML in high school, but only recently have I began taking a serious interest in creating my own personal website so, here I am!
I’m using this website as a way to showcase my interests, art, and other creative ideas in a way that’s aesthetically pleasing to me while also being kinda off-the-radar. If you’ve found me all the way out here, then kudos! I hope your visit to Laplace is an awesome one!

Favorite Day of the Week: They’re all the same to me lol.
A Teacher You Hated: Again with the hatred, but I think the only teacher to ever make me cry directly was this jerk who taught both my 6th AND 7th grade English classes. He was an arrogant, pompous sadist who liked embarrassing and manipulating students just for fun.

Did You Like Your School Food Itself (As In The District Food): Yea, it was fine. Nothing spectacular, but whaddya expect from government food? I do wanna shout-out the lunch ladies in my elementary and high school: in elementary, they would always save me an extra cinnamon bun because they would always run out by the time I got there (since my class was the last lunch in the school). And in high school, I would usually end up going to the salad bar (since it was the one with the shortest wait) and they would always remember my order. Much love to y’all <3
If You Could Live Anywhere, Where Would You Live?: I would love to live in an old rural/suburban town somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. As long as I have broadband and running water, I’ll be a happy camper!

What’s Your Most Embarrassing Moment?: I think I’ve repressed all of my childhood memories, so I might have trouble answering this one.
If You Could Change One Thing About Yourself What Would It be?: Probably my stomach/belly.
Do You Eat Breakfast First Then Brush Your Teeth or Brush first then eat breakfast: I don’t get to eat breakfast most of the time. I’ll brush my teeth and then just sip on some tea I cold-brewed the night before.

Do You Ask The Girl / Guy Out Or Do You Wait For Them To Come To You?: Do I look like I’ve ever been in that kind of situation before??

Do you have a pager or cell phone?:I like the idea of pagers, but the modern cell phone kinda made them unnecessary and obsolete.
Favorite Sport: Sports are dumb, but I like the aesthetic of baseball.
What Was the Best Gift You Ever Received?: My original 3DS. My godmother got it for me for my birthday, shortly after launch. And since she got it before the price drop, I was able to get the Ambassador's certificate and all the NES/GBA games that came with it!
