I am shy, nerdy, and funny.

My Self-Summary

So I really suck at these kinds of things. I'm mostly on here to meet new people for friends, and then see what happens from there. I'm in the cities for about another 7 to 10 months, and then I'm going to (hopefully) either DC area or California for my PhD. I'm not sure if I have the time or energy at the moment to find The One, but I'll just see what falls into my lap, so to speak.

So, the facts are these: I'm in my senior year at the U of M: Twin Cities, studying Linguistics. I love it too much, and am quite the languages and linguistics geek. I'm also into some of the usual geek fair, particularly computers, video games, comic books, and trading card games. Though, I'd like to think that I have at least rudimentary social skills, and I definitely like to try new things and go out of my comfort zone. I'd like to think I'm funny, and I'm pretty into anything that makes me laugh.

I'm much more boring in text boxes
Now in Bengali

What I’m doing with my life

I have a job working on automatic measures using language to diagnose and predict chances of neural disorders, particularly dementia. Apart from that, I'm a full-time student in linguistics looking to go for my Ph.D., possibly somewhere in California. I have a strong passion for eastern South Asia, and am planning on spending a fair amount of time there as well.

Failing that, I'd like to be a vampire slayer or an astronaut.

I’m really good at

Doing the things that I do, thinking, and talking about abstract shit. Also occasionally I'm good at drinking and sometimes I'm good at watching TV too? I have impeccable spelling and won spelling bees when I was a kid. Also like I said before, I also think I have a relatively okay sense of humor, so there's that.

The first things people usually notice about me

I've gotten compliments on my smile and on my laugh. I think of my laugh as something the Joker/Chucky/hyena-ish, but I've been complimented on it a number of times. I love to laugh, and I love to laugh hard and heartily, so it's noticeable.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Although I consider myself non-religious, I'm actually really fond of religious rhetoric, theology, and mythology, and I find myself reading lots of that. I also read linguistics and cognitive science textbooks FOR FUN in my free time, and read generally lots of non-fiction.

I'm really into horror comedy movies. I'm a big fan of the ridiculous and the obscene, which are both embodied in that. I'm not a fan of pretentiousness, so that makes that genre of film also a good fit. I also like the silliness of Bollywood movies sometimes.

My favorite music is really scattered, and I like to think I'm more of a band-savvy person than a genre-savvy person. But if I had to classify as such, it'd probably be primarily 80's, European Spanish pop/rock, Finnish folk, and Bollywood. My all time musical idol is Kate Bush.

I'm a sucker for Indian and Chinese food, and frankly it makes up a pretty shocking percentage of my diet.

The six things I could never do without

1. My friends
2. A shower
3. My cats
4. Good conversation
5. Good food
6. Thinking

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Batman, cognitive science, linguistics, math, boys, neurology, Bangladesh, philosophy, video games.

On a typical Friday night I am

Reading, watching TV, possibly hitting a bar, or hanging out with friends. I'm normally not doing anything too exceptional, unless I am.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Umm. I'm a huge sucker for romance, and I'm probably not too difficult to woo. The sexiest thing a man can do is make me laugh a lot. The second sexiest things a man can do is to have an opinion, to want to debate me about things, or to listen to me geek out. Opinions are sexy.

You should message me if

You're a bit of a nerd with opinions who likes to have fun. Or if you're just cute I guess ;) Actually, even failing these things you have to message me I've decided -- it's the rule.
