Hobbies:
- Photography
Quinn enjoys taking random pictures of the world around him, generally buildings or nature, occasionally people. He uses these images as inspiration for designing and building architecture. He rarely enters his work in local contests but he does enjoy plastering them all over his apartment, and uses them quite often in his digital renditions of rooms and buildings he creates in CAD. He enjoys visiting museums, galleries, and seminars to learn more about photography and the science behind it.
- Screen printing
Quinn has a smart a** streak a mile wide and loves showing it via shirts. If he thinks of a saying, or hears one, he will write it down, design something around it, and make a shirt that says it. He sells his more amusing creations to his classmates, friends, and online but he doesn't do it for the money, he does it for the laughs.
- Construction/building
Lego's, popsicle sticks, sand, stones, CAD (Computer Aided Design).... It doesn't mater what the media is Quinn loves building things. From houses to bridges to cars he enjoys figuring out how things are manipulated to create something beautiful and functional. He will often post his creations on his Deviantart page and often summits his smaller work in contests. Sometimes his inspiration is sparked by his classes but more often then not his creations inspire his class work.
- Music
Eclectic is a not strong enough word for Quinn's collection of music. He enjoys everything from heavy metal to classical, country to rock, nature sounds to rap. He does lean a bit more towards the 'oldies' section of any genre but does enjoy quite a few of the modern songs like The Climb by Miley Cyrus or I'm A Believer by Smash Mouth.
Virtues:
- Focused/Determined
Quinn is very focused when presented with a task or project. He gives it his all reguardless of what it is, from building a sandcastle with local kids to a project for class. If he doesn't know how to do it he will learn how and is more then willing to accept help from others as well as help others. If you have a project that you need help on, Quinn is your guy. He will work with you to get it done as best as possible. He doesn't know the meaning of 'Quit'.
- Fun Loving
Games, parties, picnics, rollerblading, bowling, swimming... Quinn loves to have fun. He enjoys life and the interaction with others. If there is a party Quinn will be there, even if its to be in a corner talking and possibly playing cards with a few friends. He comes up with countless advents for his friends and neighbors, even if only a few ever actually occur. If work and school didn't take up so much time he would likely have a party/game night every night. D and D anyone?
- Adventurous
Quinn will try anything at least once. He has eaten the strangest things from snake and squirrel to haggis and crickets; yes the do taste like chicken. He believes that one should not judge until one first tries. There are a few things he can't do just yet but that list is getting shorter every year; after all age does prohibit some things. He can't wait to go sky diving!
Flaws:
- Adrenalin Junkie
The rush... its the rush man, that Quinn loves. Weather its from a roller coaster or sneaking into the local skate park after hours Quinn craves the heart pounding flight or fight response. He will actively place himself in difficult situations just for that feel... skateboarding down a few well know San Fran's streets, snowboarding the triple black diamonds, poking a sleeping bear with a stick.... he isn't that stupid, but swimming with sharks he will most definitely do when he gets a chance. Quinn does not have a death wish nor does he wish to harm others but if bending the law is what it takes to get the rush then better look the other way because he will still do it, the very 'hush hush' juvie record proves it. Can anyone say skinny dipping in the public pool at midnight? If he can get his friends in on the action, the more the merrier he says. He will often drag his friends with him on an adventure and then 'nudge' them into trying it. Calling someone a chicken is an acceptable form of nudging, scardy cat works too. You know that saying, 'If everyone jumps off the bridge would you jump too?' well Quinn would be the first to jump then egg his friends into jumping with him.... as long as it’s with a bungee cord attached.
- Anti-authoritative
Unless you are his teacher, his father, or his mother don't tell him what to do. His knee jerk response to a order is 'no', occasionally 'hell no', and rarely 'are you out of your freaking mind', and if he doesn't just say it then he will likely straight up do the opposite. He hates being told what to do and truly does his best not to do it. The only reason he listens to his teacher, father, and mother is because... he will fail school and he will disappoint his family... something he works hard not to do.
- Sarcastic
The king of smart asses is the best description of Quinn. If you say something stupid like 'what meet is in beef and broccoli' he will respond with a smart a** response of 'chicken'. 'Thank You Caption Obvious' and 'No s**t Sherlock' are the general response for stupid observations. Have you ever seen Bill Engvall's 'Here's your sign' jokes? Yeah Quinn is the one who says the smart a** comments to the stupid observations...
