I'm fascinated by everything and always questioning how things work, why things are the way they are, and looking for correlations. I'm also interested in trying new things and learning about things I know nothing about (most glaringly obvious being music at the moment.) Also happens I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to sci-fi and fantasy literature and media, but I try to keep it under control.

I am Intellectual, adventurous, and generally curious.

Right now I'm working on a PHD in Astronomy. I enjoy hobbies of all kinds, especially fencing, hiking and dancing, but I'm always up for a new one. I also enjoy all sorts of "crafts" where I get to create something, such as web design, cooking, computer programing, building random things, making chainmail, and working on my robot. But that is of course just the preliminary step to my ultimate goal of world domination.

Only three or four things a day. Everything else I do that day is just mediocre.

good-natured sarcasm, or an over eagerness to tell them all about one of the subjects I know a whole lot about. (namely Astronomy, Latin, or other things too nerdy to mention)

Authors:Frank Herbert, Vergil, H. G. Wells, Verne, Livy, Plato, Homer, Douglas Adams, Cicero, O. S. Card, Tolkein, Swift, Ovid, Dante, Nietzsche, Aristotle...

Movies: I like lots of movies, of many different genres.

Music: still working on this one... at the moment, I know I like Jazz, and Hard Rock.

Food: Most everything, as long as its well seasoned and well prepared (if prep is required) I'll like it with the exception of certain textures. No onions, Oysters and similarly textured things unless thoroughly diced, charred or otherwise de-slimified.

the knowledge that, from this list, I really only understand puns.

Hanging out with friends, or possibly something more sinister like grading papers or homework...

You have something interesting to say.
