Your Notes
Edit your notesI am warm, intellectual, and darn witty.
My Self-Summary
I like adventures and have spent some great time overseas, as a professional dancer (very briefly), surfing, playing marimba and public speaking. Yes, I sometimes get nervous, but it's fun.
I'm physically active and health conscious. I started as a disciple of the 'fat free is guilt free!' school of nutrition in college (lots of jellybeans), but have modernized since then. I love soccer, though a pulled hammy has kept me in the gym or surfing recently.
Montage of seasonal concepts I love: falling asleep to rainfall, dew on the grass, moss on the trees, jumping in leaf piles, pumpkin pie, making snowmen and snow angels, snuggling up in big fluffy comforters, hot cocoa before a fire, driving in snowstorms, ice skating, walking outside in the perfect silence after a snowfall, thunder and lightening, cicadas, swimming in lakes, frogs and iced Manischewitz.
Some other pleasures: a casual glass of wine, witty banter, peppermint shower gel, sleeping on sailboats, starting on hills in a manual car, black&white cookies, reading by candlelight, watching frogs by a pond, engineering and math, reading anything on evolutionary psychology, sit ups, drawing, reading the introductions of books, stepping to avoid sidewalk cracks, ginger, dark chocolate and of course singing in the shower.
What I’m doing with my life
I've been visiting Boston a few times recently - it's a fantastic city I think it would be fun to live in some day.
I’m really good at
I'm also really good with mechano-electrical systems. I don't know quite why, but I grok anything with a moving part or electricity in it. It's uncanny.
The first things people usually notice about me
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Great fiction I've read recently includes David Copperfield (Dickens), Snow Crash (Stephenson) and Winter's Tale (Helprin). For non-fiction, I recently finished 'The China Study' (about diet and health), 'The Bottom Billion' (about development economics), and 'The Emergence of Probability' (story of where the crazy notion of probability came from). My favorite book of the past, say 5 years, is Seeing Like a State (Scott).
The six things I could never do without
My orchid plant which promised it will finally flower this year
My kitchen faucet - for watering said plant
An internet connection
Nature
Water (lake or ocean) nearby
I spend a lot of time thinking about
OK, and sometimes I also think about the commonalities between different religions and science. It'd be fun to write a book comparing, for example, traditional psychology with new-age mysticism. They have a lot in common.
