I am originally from New York, but have moved around the
country a lot, also living in Boston, San Francisco, DC, Austin, and New Orleans. I moved to
San Diego for
graduate school, and I'm still working on that full-time. I like
San Diego for its ethnic restaurants, coffeehouses, and
weather, but the
military presence and political conservativism are less my
speed.
I like to get exercise every day if I can--run, work out, play softball, swim, and walk around. I love movies, books, and, yes, television. I especially like
fictional stories
in any medium. I'm generally fond of animals and am not allergic to
any of them, unless of course you have a pet poison sumac.
A hypothesis of mine that has nothing to do with my PhD program is that pleasant
weather inhibits the ability of Californians to understand
sarcasm. I like to
explore the outer edge of this phenomenon by wending progressively
more obvious instances of sarcasm into my conversations: "It sure
is tough to get used to this unpredictable San Diego weather."
"Personally, I prefer food that doesn't taste good." "I enjoy
disappointment."

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
I'm going after a PhD
and maintaining the vague hope that it will enable me to do
something interesting when I'm done.
I'm really good at
Drinking coffee,
doing spontaneous impressions, using chopsticks, wordplay, vegetarian omelet production.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
My delivery can be a bit wry, so often what a person first notices
is that I've said something that can't possibly be true.*

I spend a lot of time thinking about
You. Constantly.
Creepy, huh? ;)

On a typical Friday night I am
Out to eat with
friends, renting a movie, at a potluck, at a party, or just at home recovering from a
busy week.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I live in La Jolla, which is in San Diego, but which OKCupid lists
as 88 miles north of San Diego. So, I list myself in San Diego, or
else all my closest matches will be 88 miles away.
I told them about the problem a long time ago, but the OKCupid people haven't bothered to fix it.

You should message me if
You're younger than me. You'd rather have good people in your life
than lots of money, and it isn't even close.
