I'm a vaguely atheistic bisexual ambidextrous bipolar who likes to call herself tri-bi because it sounds funny and it's essentially made up of two prefices. I like languages, neurology, reading (when my concentration isn't too shot to do it), writing (likewise), ballet, cooking and eating, learning Russian, reading Russian novels, particularly Dostoevsky, and a whole host of other things. I love Sudoku. So...yeah...me in a nutshell. Kind of.

I am quirky, honest, and pensive

I'm a freshman at the University of Chicagowhere I'm majoring in biology with an emphasis in neuroscience and randmomly studying Russian literature and philosophy/logic on the side. Meanwhile, I'm working at a neuroscience lab studying mechanisms of addiction and sensitization and as a free-lance typist and line-editor. I am also in UBallet, and I occasionally make an abortive attempt at a social life. Oh yeah, and I'm trying to become an amateur cook, but my significant lack of kitchen facilities is somewhat hindering this ambition.

Computers, line-editing, sudoku, scrabble, conversation, random stuff, learning stuff independently, inviting myself places.

I'm intelligent, but in a rather quirky way, and I'm not afraid to let my pecuiliarities show. Also, my rather wantonly spread out enthusiasm, which occasionally caves into its polar opposite, boredom, which, in the words of Paul Tillich, is essentially rage spread thin. I apologize for that run-on sentence. It was an atrocity.

Books: I'm going to list authors here instead. Dostoevsky, Philip K. Dick, Hemingway, Nabokov, Stendhal, Camus, J.K. Rowling (hey, escapist reading, people...), Hesse, Kafka, W. Somerset Maughm...etc, etc.

Movies: Hamlet Goes Business, Ghost World, The Trial, Slaughterhouse Five, Doctor Strangelove, Rocky Horror, Carrie, Man on the Moon, Shattered Glass, All the President's Men, Revenge of the Nerds, American Splendor, Laurence Olivier's Hamlet, etc...

Music: REM, David Bowie, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stone, some Pink Floyd, Reunion Show, Tori Amos, Springsteen, Bob Dylan...

Foods: Tea & all of its accompaniments (tarts, tea sandwiches, scones, etc.), seared rare ahi tuna, enchiladas verdes, crab cake pasta, salami, sweet pickles, veggie chips...it really depends on my mood. I get in these moods where one and only one food (or set of foods) will satisfy me. Everything else seems utterly disgusting, but that one food is necessary. Needless to say, I was pretty unhealthy when I went through my salami-and-sweet-pickle mood.

Everything, really. Including one of my chief problems, which is that I can't stop thinking. And then I think about the irony that I am thinking about thinking too much. But then I move on to think about something else. Like the way I lead my life, and if I'm actually satisfied with it, and whether I really know myself or just know a bunch of rationalisations, or Dostoevsky, or the latest thing I've been doing in the lab. Or a conversation I enjoyed, or one I am looking forward to, or one I am dreading. Or an event from the distant past. Or one from the less-distant past. Or...well, or anything. You get the point.

Coming home from work and doing some loser thing online.

Pretty much anything, as long as it just has to do with me and not someone else. I am shockingly indiscreet about myself.

You've gotten this far through the profile. I mean, Jesus, that takes dedication. Especially given the level of nonsensical babble I'm sure a great deal of this is.
