So you've wandered into my simple abode. This is pretty much my storage for cute pics to show off to people, and maybe ramble a bit.

Ahh, the usual introductions for random homepages... My name's Clara, and I'm currently a senior at Brown Univ (graduating in May '02). I'm double concentrating in Biology and Religious Studies. It's tons of fun =). I like small-things oriented biology (genetics, cellular stuff, biological pathways), and eastern thought philosophies/religions (like taoism and buddhism).

Eventually, I'd like to compose a series of interest pages, introducing people to an odd variety of things I like. Here's my list:

• Weapons - I collect, mostly medieval stuff. I don't have much, but they're pretty cute. Gothic jewelry kinda gets added into this one.
• Hematite - It's an iron oxide that is very pretty in both natural and processed forms. It's a very dense material and shines metallic grey.
• Kenshin - My first introduction to anime was Rurouni Kenshin, a fun series about a wandering samurai during the 2nd half of the 19th century in Japan, Meiji Restoration Era stuff. It's light sometimes, but serious and violent other times.
• Religions - I've really focused on Buddhism (different meditative practices, Japanese sects) and Taoism (specifically philosophical Tao in the Tao te ching).
• Technology House - The program house in which I live at Brown. There are about 43 of us, and sometimes we do projects together. I was VP during my junior year. I'm historian this year.

However, there are a few things that I've done! I wrote a brief page about a Dvonn-Zertz hybrid game a few of us constructed. Dvonn and Zertz are board games that are part of the Gipf Project. The hybrid rules assume that you already know how to play Dvonn and Zertz.
