About

My name is Julie Marchant. You may know me as "onpon4", which was the username I exclusively used for several years. More recently, I have taken to primarily using "Julie.chan" or "The Diligent Circle".

I'm a hobbiest libre game developer, though I don't do it particularly actively these days. Languages I currently know well are Python, C, and Lua.

In addition to programming, I have an affinity for the Japanese language. My Japanese proficiency is not that great, especially considering how long I have been studying it on and off, but I can hold a very basic conversation okay. Like game development, this has become less important to me lately, but it's still something I enjoy practicing.

For my day job, I'm a cashier and also do stock trading on the side.

Less professionally:

I love jewelry, and I sometimes make my own bracelets as a hobby.
I love spiders. They're adorable, and they eat pests. Don't hurt innocent spiders! 😠
I also love cats, despite being mildly allergic to them (nothing serious, they just make my eyes and nose itch).
Spicy food is my life. I love spicy food. I usually use a ghost pepper sauce to make things spicy, and I get extra-hot at Thai places.
Thai food is my favorite kind of food. Other international foods I like a lot are Mexican and Chinese (of course).
As far as American foods go, Buffalo wings are easily my favorite. I make my Buffalo wings by frying them, unbreaded, in coconut oil, then covering them with the Buffalo wing sauce. It's delicious and healthy at the same time!
