Hi! I'm Kaeli, a 15-year-old from Texas with a penchant for obsessively editing other people's spelling and grammar instead of having a social life. I've been lurking on Wikipedia for about a month now and editing as Anonymous, so I decided it was about time for me to create an account. I really like writing, music, and drawing. I have synesthesia (specifically, chromesthenia) meaning that hearing music or sounds causes me to see correlating colors and patterns. I enjoy urban exploration, although there's no good locations near me so I usually end up on urbex forums, instead. I live near NASA and have grown up in an area rich with a healthy, astronomy-centered science program, and I have lots of experience and interest in the field. I have fairly high confidence in my spelling ability and knowledge of various types of music, so that's mostly what I'll be editing on here.
The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae, which is native to western North America. The trees grow to a height of around 20 to 100 metres (70 to 330 feet) and commonly reach 2.4 metres (8 feet) in diameter. The largest coast Douglas firs regularly live for more than 500 years, with the oldest specimens more than 1,300 years old. The cones are pendulous and differ from true firs as they have persistent scales. The cones have distinctive long, trifid (three-pointed) bracts, which protrude prominently above each scale. The cones become tan when mature, measuring 6 to 10 centimetres (2+1⁄2 to 4 inches) long for coastal Douglas firs. This photograph shows a young female cone of the variety Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir), cultivated near Keila, Estonia.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
My Tumblr is grungefrnk, so please feel free to follow me on there! Also, I'm currently questioning my gender and such, so for now, I would like to try it/its pronouns (example: This is its page. It likes to play music.) This is mostly because I don't feel very comfortable being labeled a boy or a girl, and I have no interest in using neopronouns (xe, hir, nouns as pronouns, etc) or they/them, which I feel has a primary function as a plural pronoun. If you absolutely cannot bear to use it/its, standard female pronouns would work too, I guess. Please feel free to leave me something on my talk page! Thanks!
