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. With the orchestra group, I've always served at the first stand of cellos in groups of varying age ranges (but seriously, I need a change of scenery). I've also gone to Carnegie Hall and had a small Concerto Grosso solo in my second year.
Math
AoPS
I am currently in my 8th class with AoPS. The classes I have taken are as follows:
(the list is somewhat incomplete as I struggle to remember who the primary TAs were)
- Algebra 1, Jeremy Copeland/Richard Rusczyk, wobster109/joelinia
- Introduction to Counting and Probability, Ashley Ahlin, wobster109/joelinia/redcomet46
- Introduction to Number Theory, Joshua Zucker, 236factorial/Duelist
- Advanced MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8, Michael Nagle, ANieh/flying2828
- Algebra 2, Marcus Neal, Anna Smith/AdmireEuler
- Introduction to Geometry, Jeremy Copeland, ArianaL/tlcruickshank
- Algebra 3, Justin Bae, 5space/brentnicklas
- Intermediate Number Theory, Vince Matsko/Achilleas Sinefakopoulos/Dave Patrick, cppB

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 [viewtopic.php?f=139&t=439206 here].
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 my having accidentally called a TA a crocodile in my first class.
I modded the eleventh installment of the Mole franchise on AoPS two years after the abandonment of A&C. I'm still learning/working on creating 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 (mostly) daily 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.
