Haiiiii :3 my name is Luna! I'm a trans, lesbian, yearning, burnt-out CS student. I like programming and playing games. I also enjoy making tech do odd things. Here are a few things about me!

A view from my home in the Appalachian mountains.

I grew up in a log cabin in the appalachian part of Virginia. "The moonshine capital of the world". The closest city was Roanoke and I had limited access to the internet. I went to public school until the COVID-19 pandemic when I started homeschooling. This allowed me to take many courses that I would not have been able to take otherwise.

I've loved tech since I was given a Nintendo DS when I was four years old. I started taking things apart to see how they worked such as my dad's old Mac computer. When I was 12, I got curious about a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Calculator that I was using for school. I learned that I could add my own programs to it so I tried to create some games. Since then I've learned lots of programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Javascript, Python, GDScript, and BASIC. I have been studying Computer Science since 2023.

I am a student at Swarthmore College Class of 2029! We are ranked 3rd best Small Liberal Arts College in the United States! I started studying here in fall of 2025 and plan to major in computer science and minor in music. The college is a 30 minute train ride from Philadelphia. Going to college made me realize that I was a city girl. Swarthmore also has a small downtown which gives it a familiar small-town vibe while still being close to a big city. The locals are some of the nicest people I've ever met! The Media/Wawa line makes it very easy for me to go to Center City Philadelphia for an afternoon if I want. I love it here!

I LOVE TRAINS!!! I could talk about trains for hours! Moving to Philadelphia has given me to ride all kinds of trains, subways, and trolleys! There is so much to talk about that I might have to dedicate a page to it!

My favorite season is fall! It's not too cold, not too hot. Nature is filled with so many colors. It was amazing experiencing fall for the first time at Swarthmore!

I enjoy going into Center City Philadelphia every week. I love Market Street, South Street, The Fashion District, City Hall, The Gayborhood, and the underground subway network! I plan to visit Chinatown soon.

Here are a few of my plushies!

I love playing and developing video games. My favorite games are retro games. Lately I've been playing a lot of Hatsune Miku games. I have two games that are tied for my favorite game of all time: Mother 3 and Oneshot. I've owned a PS1, PS2, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 2DS, PSP, and Gameboy Advance SP. I also enjoy playing indie PC games. I am currently working with a game development team to develop a video game.
