Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I have a certain uncanny, visceral desire to be near the ocean that drew me to California from my inland home in the mountains last May. Aside from my weird desire to be near the sea and eat raw fish, coming to California has been a great move for my career. I'm currently doing neuroscience research for UC Davis and I love it!

I adore dogs--Something about their loyal, authentic, and often optimistic manner really endears them to me.

Are you ready to go a little deeper? Alright let's talk a bit about some of my beliefs: I think that our American culture has a lot of arbitrary rules that can confine us, social constructs that place limits on our individuality and prevent us from reaching our full potential. Things like gender, trends, fashion, and religion--the concepts themselves are not inherently bad but they should not dictate who you are.

I prefer a less judgmental, more loving atmosphere

We are so insignificant in the eyes of this vast universe, yet to ourselves we are the universe. What can we do about this ironic predicament but laugh?

Enough philosophizing; bring on the shameless self promotion! Please give these tests I made a try:

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Graduated with my BS from the University of Idaho in May. Got a nice job doing neuroscience research at UC Davis shortly after. I hope to be a university prof. someday, set up my own lab, get that tenure, grow a big bushy beard, and scare the incoming freshmen.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

Apparently I have an artist's vibe. Guys will come up to me and ask if I am an art student and swear they've seen me in their film class or something like that.

Or perhaps I have a clone O_O
But which is the evil one?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I'm a sucker for sci-fi anything; I'm into shows like Firefly, STNG, and Battlestar Galactica (the most recent rendition, of course) and movies like Blade Runner and The Fifth Element.

I can get equally excited over fantasy--my recent favorites are the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series.

I've also never met a Mel Brooks movie I didn't love

For some reason people seem to think I'd be into anime, which I am not with the exception of Myazaki films. I also fancy artistic visuals, such as those found in the movie MirrorMask

As far as music goes, I'll listen to anything with a good beat. I'm actually really exploring music and broadening my musical horizons right now so feel free to suggest things.

For food I like anything I haven't tried. I like variety. A great way to woo me is to cook for me.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

love, companions, freedom, independence, new things to learn, challenges

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

This marvelous thing called life. What makes living things alive? What makes us human? I'm very curious about the human brain. Also, very, very tiny things (cells, molecules, atoms).

Of late I have been taking part in Fright Fest at Discovery Kingdom. This year I am playing the indispensable role of screaming, blood-splattered head ;)
