I am not describing, myself, and in three words.
My Self-Summary
The short description: I have a nerd job, jock hobbies, listen to
hipster music, and try to be random.
Whenever I am not working, I do pretend to have a life. I like a
good beer and enjoy hanging out with friends in bars, occasionally
playing pool. I started college studying music, so I enjoy
pretending that I still know anything about music (Jazz is what I
studied) when I really just listen to
89.3 The Current from
Minneapolis to prevent me from having to learn hard things, like
band names.
I'm in a bowling league where I am banned from keeping score...
That should be somehow relevant. I enjoy watching sports (mostly
college, I am a Gopher until I die). College hockey, baseball and
international soccer being the three I care the most about.
What I’m doing with my life
I am a grad student in mathematics studying biophysics. Basically,
I do math that allows people to study proteins better.
I’m really good at
Well, math... obviously. I'm also a pretty good cook when you can
get me out of my lazy habits.
The first things people usually notice about me
Depends on whether my mouth is open or closed.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books... I remember what it's like to read something other than
textbooks, I think. More seriously: Douglas Hofsteder, Noam
Chomsky, Dostoevsky, Hannah Arendt, Al Franken, some number of
biographies
Movies: I'm usually too lazy to find out what movies are playing,
but I get a kick out movies about mathematicians (Good Will
Hunting, Proof) and stoner flicks (Harold and Kumar and Pineapple
Express come to mind), and I enjoy historical biopics.
Music: I just listen to 89.3 The Current. Though, I occasionally
pull out my old Jazz albums (not LPs, sadly).
TV: Chuck, House, Scrubs and The Office are good
Food: I am pretty open food-wise. Ethiopian food is a particular
favorite of mine. I really can't think of a style of food that I
honestly dislike.
The six things I could never do without
Books, naps, friends, beer, maybe whiskey, a good problem to work
on
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Beer.
Science.
Politics/Law.
Sports. In that order. My
brain has no room for anything else.
On a typical Friday night I am
Hanging out with friends in some bar somewhere drinking a good
beer.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Once, I got really angry at my mom's dog (damn thing ate my tacos!)
and rounded up all of his toys and put them out of reach on a
table.

You find my profile amusing/interesting and/or enjoy talking to
sciencey people.
