Yello. Call me Red.

About knittingfrenzy18

Bio

I call myself a Jack of all trades, master of none. Things I do include playing cello, knitting, doing math, doing computer programming, running cross-country, learning languages, speedcubing, crocheting, speedpainting, and composing/arranging music.

I infamously prefer to be called Red, since that is my favorite color, as well as being a conveniently short alias.

I am half-Taiwanese and half-Korean.

With the entrance of 2015, I randomly became obsessed with writing. Don't ask. But now I am trying to blog on Wordpress; read it at http://knittingfrenzy18.wordpress.com.

Music

I have played the cello for around 6.5 years. Before starting on the cello, I played piano for two years, and I still enjoy playing sometimes.

I'm participating in my local youth orchestra for the 6th year, currently.

In my first year, there were 5 orchestras, and I participated in the youngest group as the assistant principal. In my second year, I participated in the same group as principal. With this same group she traveled to Carnegie Hall and was featured as a soloist in the Concerto Grosso No. 4 by Corelli. In my third year, a 6th orchestra came into being, and then became the youngest group. In accordance to this new 6th group, I then moved to the 3rd group from the bottom, and was assistant principal. In my fourth year, I was the principal cellist of the 3rd youngest group. In my fifth year, I served as co-principal in the 4th youngest group. In my sixth year, I serve as the principal in the 4th youngest group.

AoPS Projects

To Infinity-And Beyond!-Serving You Your Weekly Dish of Pi

Back in Fall 2011 - Spring 2012, I ran a somewhat organized newsletter with an incredibly cheesy name. It was often abbreviated TIAB, and eventually died due to lack of good material and no time on my part. The remains of the thread lie <url>viewtopic.php?f=139&t=439206 here</url>.

Games

My first game was mod-abandoned by myself. It was a minigame/kill the other team type game called Alligators and Crocodiles, which initially stemmed from her having accidentally called a TA a crocodile in her first class.

I modded the eleventh installment of the Mole franchise on AoPS two years after the abandonment of A&G. I'm still learning/working on created better puzzles, but for a second game, it was much better structured than the first.

Starting in July of 2014, I modded the third installment of The Blind Game, titling it Old School, New Gen. Gameplay concluded around 4.5 months after the opening.

Mafia

Mafia is a guilty pleasure of mine; a happy timesink, an excuse to think hard about stuff that doesn't truly matter in the big picture. Currently, I serve as a SE in the AoPS Mafia forum.

Musings

Musings was my second blog. It consisted of daily (mostly) thoughts that run through my mind, other meaningful thoughts, silly things that came up, or other not so meaningful thoughts. As of January 13, it was discontinued on AoPS, after a long life of approximately 2 years. It may be picked up again in the future, but not on AoPS.
