Introduction To A Future Supervillain

My name is Darragh, also known as Dagda, and my favourite thing to do is write. I've written a story that was published in the Irish Times as part of a FightingWords workshop back in 2014. My favourite module last year was definitely Storytelling with Ian, as he was a fun lecturer and I enjoyed the idea of storytelling very much.

My biggest accomplishment last semester was creating a working flamethrower glove, it's effects can be seen here. I consider this my biggest accomplishment because of the fact that it was something I started at the beginning of the year, and the first version of it had many issues and was quite dangerous to use.

However, the latest version is able to be used completely one-handed, and I have plans to upgrade it even more and bring it into my group project. Despite the fact I am an adult, there will be adult supervision while making this version.

Over the summer break I went to Orlando, Florida. There was, a lot, of lightning. Orlando is actually the lightning capital of the America, the reason there's so much lightning is because it is on the equator, which is also why NASA decided to the base the JFK space center there.

I also went on several of the rides at Universal, and got horribly sunburnt at Volcano Bay. The biggest and fastest ride Universal has is called 'The Hulk'. And it's name suits it, as it will give you the same amount of fear and adrenaline rushing through your body as if you had to face the Hero it was named after.

There is also one called the 'Rip-Riding-Rocket', which has you slowly climb up a track at a 90 degree angle. And the moment I was facing towards the sky I felt immediate and immense regret. Of course there is an upside to it.

That particular ride allows you to choose what sort of music you want to listen to while riding. I myself chose "Born To Be Wild" by SteppenWolf. An song that was chosen because it somehow managed to match the rhythm to the turns and climax of the ride.
