About Undead Cheese

This is my extremely informal blog where I write about, well, whatever I want. 

I'm a computer science and animation student with big dreams, mainly to design theme park rides, create digital art, and write novels. I am strongly considering augmenting my studies with electrical/computer engineering as well in the near future. I also love music -- both playing it and listening to it. My favorite band is Owl City, but I also have a particular affinity for gothic metal, hence the inspiration for this blog's title. And despite this enjoyment of dark music and literature, my favorite time of year is summer and I love sunshine and children's cartoons, so...go figure. That said, I think that the line between romanticism and cynicism is incredibly thin, and I walk a tightrope. 

Unlike my main theme park blog, Amusement and Airtime, here I make no effort to write at any semblance of high quality, stick to any particular topic, or post according to any sort of schedule. I just spitball whatever I want, whenever I feel like it, and just see what happens. :') 

Here are some random things that I may write about: 

  • Programming, I.T., and hacking 
  • Trying to get into the theme park/roller coaster industry
  • Engineering, especially of the software/computer/electrical varieties 
  • Math, physics
  • Animation and art: drawing, digital: 2D, 3D. 
  • Writing: fiction (fantasy especially if it involves dragons, sci-fi, horror, romance), poetry, fanfiction. 
  • Complaining about winter and snow (for as long as I live in Utah, anyway) 
  • Music (crappy and subjective song interpretations, playing music)
  • Running, my main sport and form of exercise (and hiking, weightlifting, swimming) 
  • Meme dumps
  • Theme parks, roller coasters, zoos, aquariums, water parks, and carnivals
  • Cats 
  • Various city parks where I take walks, read, eat food, and try to get on the swings if there are no children there :p
  • Gaming, books, fanfiction, webcomics, visual novels, TV shows (read: mostly cartoons), movies, the internet in general, social media, kids' toys (Legos, anyone?), and online forums. 
  • Other scientific topics that I find interesting: geysers, hot springs, dinosaurs, marine life, space and rockets...
  • Random tutorials about things that I found challenging, for personal documentation as well as to help others who may need it. 
  • Dreams, imagination, imposition, paracosms, lucid dreaming, astral projection, reality shifting, and fantasy
  • Psychology (especially abnormal psychology), personality theory, and true crime
  • Productivity, study strategies
  • Whatever else I'm currently obsessed with at the moment. 
  • all/none of the above
  • etc. 

Honestly, though, anything goes here. Again, very little, if any, semblance of structure or cohesiveness will exist on this blog. I may write every day. I may forget to write anything at all for 10 years. Who knows? 

The general link to all my creative work is on my portfolio website here. And my education and personal projects are all nice and organized on my main GitHub repository.  

I will conclude with my two favorite memes of all time: 





:D

"It never gets easier. You just get stronger."

"I wish that I could fly away."

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
