It seems that quite a few people don't check my relationship status
before writing to me, so I just wanted to tell you all that unless
you are my boyfriend already, I am not going to date you. You can
still write to me, but please don't hit on me.
I am working on a PhD in
math at the U of Chicago. Please don't ask
me what my thesis is about.
When I'm not doing math, I like to read, watch TV, knit, eat, and
do other lazy things. I also like to travel and spend time
outdoors, neither of which I do nearly often enough.
If I could be doing anything right now and it wouldn't affect my
future plans, I would be travelling somewhere I've never been - it
doesn't really matter where - with a good book that I can stop to
read every now and then. I also would like very much to go back to
Budapest. I lived
there for about 4 months in 2003.
I'm going to be a math professor someday. I am studying
logic. This encompasses model
theory, set theory, computability theory, reverse mathematics, and
other diverse subjects. I am a math teacher at the U of Chicago. I
watch more TV than I might like to admit, because it's a good break
from math and I can do it while eating dinner.
Getting drunk from only half of one beverage. Making bruschetta.
Eating enormous amounts of tofu manicotti. Knowing whether or not
something is vegan.
I'm short. I'm skinny. I also have a crooked nose and big ears. A
hairdresser once told me I should have my ears pinned. I thought
that was kind of rude.
books: So many!

and many more. music: I like lots of music, but I don't listen to
it nearly as often as most people. I often miss the early 90's. I
like
80's

I am rephrasing this as "The six things I like the most to
have:"
Good
vegan food;
good books; intellectual stimulation (including math); good friends
and access to them via instant messaging, at least; things that
make me laugh, like
the Daily Show; and chocolate
(separate from the first item because it's so important)
Things I need to do. What I'm going to eat. Books. But, I spend a
ton of time doing math, so I guess math would be the number one
thing I think about. I used to spend a lot of time working with my
college
Amnesty International
group and on other
human rights and
animal rights issues. But
lately I've gotten lazy.
forgetting it's Friday.
I'm a Trekkie.
you don't mind if I don't respond for two months, or ever. Or if
you have something really interesting to say. I'm becoming less
friendly the longer I'm on OkCupid. I apologize in advance for
ignoring you.
Please do not message me if you are going to say something
like girlykid did in this message to me:
"Subject: Your a vegan [Body:] Takes one to know one in my opinion.
I was interested into talking to you until i saw your profile. Too
bad your a freakin Jerkoff/NIgger to get to know."
