IPF² Authors

Jordan Spencer Cunningham (or: In Which I Am a Braggart)

 

I am the original and (currently) sole author of Idiosyncratic Protectional Field². I’ve been an avid writer for my entire life, though I wouldn’t say any of my writing has been worth reading until after about 2006 or so; even then, it’s improved vastly since.

I have recently (around February, 2009; working up to that title since December of 2008) come into acquisition of the title of “editor” at OSNews, and, despite the fact that I’ll have to halt in my occupation for two years, I hope to continue to be an editor for OSNews for some years to come as well as a published author as soon as comfortably possible.

I have written dozens of short stories and poems (I don’t like poems much, though), and officially one completed full-length story (49,000 words) entitled Wars of the Underground, though it wasn’t publish-worthy and never will be. I am currently actively writing The Imaginations and non-actively writing The Gregorian Experiment along with another untitled story. The Imaginations‘ progress may be tracked on the sidebar of IPF².

In 2008, I was elected treasurer for West Jordan High School’s choir department, and have served faithfully, transforming what used to be a paper-and-pencil/Excel nobody-knows-how-much-he-or-she-owes regime into a multifaceted database with information on demand, at ease, using primarily Microsoft Access and Word 2007, also putting the ending balance higher than it has ever been in history.

In 2008-2009, I also participated in West Jordan High School’s Madrigals, which was an unforgettable experience. The people in that group are people I will never forget, nor will I forget the deep, magical, spiritual experiences we shared while sharing our music.

I find creativity and imagination coupled with the beauty of the English language and music topped off with devout religion to be the essence of my very being. I enjoy being mysterious, making light of almost anything (when the time is appropriate), and being well even if I don’t feel well. I also find joy in giving others joy when they think that there isn’t any. I find that I am annoyed by those who are bent on being miserable even if they don’t realise it yet. I value my solitude over many things, but I value the company of a dear, noble, bright soul just as much (more at times).

I hate the world at large and hope daily for its ignominious end, and I love the fact that I live through the world at large daily, happily. I have weathered storms of life unimaginable by some, which seem as minute gusts of wind when compared to many others’. I have come through thick, thin, and vacuum to survive through today and offer what little goodness (or obnoxiousness) I can to the world at large.

Enjoy my thinking, not-thinking, and all of the plateaus in between as you venture through my Idiosyncratic Protectional Field and perhaps learn more about your own.
