My self-summary
My primary interests are physics, wikipedia, games, and 4chan (I should spend less time on the last 2 lol). I am currently trying not to fail as a graduate student (high energy theory). Grading is such a pain.

I am still seeking that special someone to spend the rest of eternity with. However, given my (semi) recent observations, I'm feeling that such sentiments are increasingly antiquated. Regardless, I'm not going to give up that easily...

Other than classes, I rarely venture out of my residence. Computers these days can simulate almost anything, who needs reality? (yes, I'm aware of the brain in a jar argument, and no, I don't know how to respond to it) On a more serious note, I obviously can't spontaneously generate my own food, and I've recently discovered the awesomeness that is Trader Joe's. They have surprisingly good deals, and many specialized items that are hard to find elsewhere. I have actually traveled a fair amount with my family, though I've generally found the experiences to be physically taxing. My laziness aside, I probably should get more fresh air than I'm currently getting. Good scenery is hard to replicate with electronic devices, but the expenditures required to see it can easily feed me for months.

Though I claim to be a physicist, I don't always talk physics, because (surprise!) that can get boring eventually. It is often comical to speculate about politics/current events and how humanity is going to kill itself, among other things.

I am also trying to kick my 4chan addiction. It is an awesome website, but time is slipping by. I've managed to restrain myself from /jp/ and /b/, and now visit /an/ very rarely. I am still a regular on /sci/, for those who are aware of the existence of text boards.
[did I ramble too much? silly 1000 word requirement to get that penultimate 5% completion]

I am nerdy, lazy, and eccentric
What I’m doing with my life
I'm currently a physics graduate student, grinding through the PhD program @ UCSB. Eventually, I hope to gain omniscience and figure out how the world works. Given the amount of genius required for such an undertaking, I'm probably headed off to epic phail.

One of my (more recent) lingering concerns is that even if I find the final theory of everything, I might not be able to do anything with it. I mean this in the sense that knowing how code works doesn't instantly tell you what a random .exe does. Keep in mind that if there exists a final theory, it necessarily includes your every thought, and every possible piece of code.
I’m really good at

Eggplant is the most terrible thing ever. I frown upon cooked fish, and cherries. I generally like spicy things. I prefer meat as a topping, rather than as a primary dish. I eat tons of rice/noodles. Other than that, I eat most things.

webcomics: xkcd, nerf now, phdcomics, girl genius
