apathetiic.

Your name is SAUL CAPTOR and, darn it, you love COMPUTERS and TECHNOLOGY. In fact, you love them so much that you basically spend all your free time CODING for a variety of things like VIDEO GAMES, COMPUTER PROGRAMS, and even homemade COMPUTER VIRUSES. You also have a not-so-secret love for BEES. You have a certain condition called BIPOLAR DISORDER and it sucks. It makes certain days really tough to get through, but somehow you do it. You go to a UNIVERSITY with all your HUMAN and TROLL friends. Currently you are majoring in COMPUTER SCIENCE and minoring in PSYCHOLOGY.
