I just graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the spring, and I'm truly missing unlimited free bacon and $1 PBRs once a week at my favorite bar. Now I'm in DC eating salads and working in Bethesda at the National Institutes of Health.

My sense of humor. Don't worry, it's not because I'm ugly.

I know this may make me unpopular, but I really don't like emoticons, especially winky-face-with-tongue-sticking-out emoticons, i.e. ;P . I know it's impossible to avoid it in this forum, but think about someone actually making that face at you.

Now you know.

you did not answer the question "The first thing people notice about me..." with something like "I don't know, you tell me?" or excessively use emoticons (see above).

Scratch that, just message me.
