I am geeky, quick-thinking, and fiercely loyal.

My Self-Summary

I'm a bit of a math and computer science geek, although more so on the math side of things. I'm also a musician; I've played piano with voice students for years at UNC and am also in an up-and-coming 80s band around there.

What I’m doing with my life

Right now, I'm working in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy on protein design software, along with working with a voice student over the summer. I'm looking for a better job at the same time, though, and would eventually like to work towards a Ph.D. in math and do research and teach.

I’m really good at

Playing piano - I spent my undergrad playing for voice students in the music department. Also, any Zelda, Mario, or Metroid game and most videogames in general. I've never lost a swimming race, although I've never attempted to compete with anyone serious about it.

The first things people usually notice about me

Either my hair or my eyes. Maybe both.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, Hocus Pocus, Mother Night or anything else by Kurt Vonnegut, The World According to Garp, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and I'm getting into the Wheel of Time series.

Movies: American Beauty, A Clockwork Orange, Pleasantville, Fight Club, Punch-Drunk Love, anything Tarantino, most Monty Python (especially The Meaning of Life), The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dogma, Fight Club, Labyrinth, and American History X. I should also mention the Futurama movies, mostly because I'm a huge Futurama fan.

Music: The Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Queen just like everyone else in the world who isn't trying to be cool, and, perhaps more originally: The Flaming Lips The Killers, RHCP, The Cure, The Smiths, Bad Religion, NOFX, Guttermouth, Gogol Bordello, They Might Be Giants, Architecture In Helsinki, The Shins, The Postal Service, Iron & Wine, Belle & Sebastian, The Olivia Tremor Control. I'm also really into classical stuff, especially Chopin, Liszt], Rachmaninoff and, more recently, Beethoven.

Food: Bojangle's and Taco Bell hold my heart when it comes to fast food. At home, my staples include tuna and Rice-a-Roni and I can whip up a mean pasta dish.

The six things I could never do without

A piano somewhere nearby that I have easy access to, a computer, a phone, something to use for resistance training (I'm by no means a bodybuilder though), illegal music and TV show downloads, and fire (on the occasions when it is warranted)
