Intended to do a philosophy major out of high school because I loved Nietzsche and the things he led me to -- until I discovered what "philosophy" refers to in the Anglo-American academic universe. At which point I switched to a double in English and Humanities and tried to absorb as much late 20th century continental stuff as I could.

That was a long time ago, and I now spend most of my brain's more productive hours with computer programming. But I think all that post-structuralism turned out to have a lot of pragmatic value in life...go figure.
