I am misinformed, simple, and noblewinged.
My Self-Summary
I just graduated from school, where I was a math major, and I went
on to computer science at UCSD. But I decided I wanted to go in
another direction, so I quit, and I've been writing since then. I
will be applying to MFA programs this fall, hopefully that will
work out.
What I’m doing with my life
Writing, mostly.
Tutoring little ones on the side.
I’m really good at
...
I like to think I'm good at Settlers of Catan, an awesome game if
there ever was one.
The first things people usually notice about me
I would be really interested to know what people first notice about
me because I have no idea.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books -- Invisible Cities, Jesus' Son, Ficciones, Cat's Cradle,
Pale Fire, Lolita, Gravity's Rainbow, DFW nonfiction, Philosophical
Investigations. Oh and I love Dick, Philip K. that is. (I feel like
I'm not the first person to make that joke)
Movies -- Blue Velvet, Taxi Driver, Vertigo, 8 1/2, Suspiria
(Tenebre perhaps is better Dario Argento, but Suspiria has a soft
spot in my heart) ... John Carpenter's the Thing, Aguirre the Wrath
of God, Nosferatu(silent but I like the remake too), Duck Soup,
most 60's Godard, All About Eve, Sunset Blvd, The Empire Strikes
Back, Metropolis, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the
Dead(Romero), Los Olvidados, 2001, ... I could go on, I think maybe
movies were my first love.
Music -- For some reason I've listened to a lot of
Sleater-Kinney...I guess I like their energy. Radiohead, Animal
Collective, Beethoven, Frightened Rabbit, Black Star,... I'm pretty
fond of rap actually.
The six things I could never do without
1. A Ladle (for soup)
2. An impeccably procured handlebar mustache
3. My banjo, which I play with plenty of folksy charm
4. My patent for a new type of cough medicine, which is a
swindle
5. Drinking moonshine and dancing a jig
6. 'Old Round Charlie' -- my gold panning pan, who brings back the
crushing disappointment of my prospecting days
I spend a lot of time thinking about
stories, literature...
I'll be honest I still like thinking about mathematics, theoretical
physics, and philosophy...
I was obsessed with that stuff when I was in school...
Ok, I'll admit I'm a pretty big nerd.
You should message me if
you have some of the same interests?
I don't know... it's really up to you.
