About Me
Names:
Shanan Kan (in real life)
Absolute Monarch, aka AbMo and GotAbMo? (online)
Age:
19
Birthday:
August 31st 1989
Location:
Canberra, Australia
Purpose:
Some time ago, I decided that I wasn't going to be another passive user of the internet, particularly in what is dubbed "Web 2.0". I was to become an active participant, someone who not only receives information and processes it, but is also one who outputs it back into the system for others.
This blog was created in order to facilitate and centralise all my efforts, an attempt to web together the sporadic fragments that I leave in my wake as I trudge my way across the internet.
Bio:
Originally from a small country down in New South Wales, Australia called Cooma, I was to become School Captain at my local high school, St Patrick's Parish School Cooma in 2005. The school did not do senior years, so for Years 11and 12 I went to Canberra Grammar School, where I boarded and became Vice Captain of my House in 2006.
I graduated from Canberra Grammar School in 2007 at the age of 18, leavingwith a bittersweet UAI of 96.80. This allowed me to gain entry into the Australian National University, where I currently am, studying for a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours).
As with most people, I have done a lot in my life and I've also not done a lot in my life. Some things that I have done include:
- Starred in my high school musical play in 2004
- Been to America, Singapore, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong
- Start and failed to maintain several cities in Active Worlds (Starlight City, Aquaville, Sapphire Estates)
- Been heavily involved in online communities since I was 12
- Stole the limelight with a stunning performance as Officer Crabtree in the Cooma Little Theatre's 2005 production of Allo Allo
- Write novels, plays and scripts
- Act in a proper play that is not community theatre
- Be part in a production of Phantom of the Opera
- Sky dive
- Get a PhD
