My self-summary
I'm an (ostensibly) lovable nerd who enjoys singing in the car, geeking out, cracking wise, and a well-made sandwich. Or even a half-assed sandwich really.
What I’m doing with my life
Used to work with kids, now I work with engineers, which are really just bigger kids who take slightly fewer naps.
I’m really good at
Carefully considering any given situation for the precise bon mot that will procure me the most respect from my peers, and then making a bad pun.
Cocktail party banter.
Karaoke.
I make a mean meatball.
Taking things apart—and almost as good at putting them back together.
The first things people usually notice about me
My "inside voice", which is audible at a distance of (conservatively) 600 yards. I *try* to be quiet, honest; I excite easily.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Movies: Groundhog Day.

Music: My musical tastes ebb and flow, but 80s jams and 90's alt rock always make me happy. Trashy pop is not beneath me even slightly. I have a head for lyrics, and likewise for karaoke. Girl Talk and Daft Punk are good for working and dancing.

Food: I am an adventurous eater- to say I'm a foodie would imply some snobbish tendencies I don't have. A late night slice of greasy pizza is just as awesome as a Michelin Star meal- it's about who you're with and how you got there! There must be something in Thai and sushi that makes me never tire of it. And on a rainy day, nothing in the world compares to a big bowl of ramen.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
- How awesome a Benjamin Gates/ Robert Langdon crossover movie would be. Seriously, think about it.
- The Question to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
- New excuses to cook fancy macaroni and cheese.
- Funny names for trivia teams/TV shows/cocktails.
- Where the day went.
On a typical Friday night I am
Maybe I'm noodling around on my saxophone, or building a website, or out carousing with friends! Or playing with lasers at TechShop, blowing it up at karaoke, or having a quiet night in with a board game.

What I'm saying is it varies.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I accidentally tied myself to a stop sign at a bus stop in kindergarten and had to be cut free by a schoolmate. With safety scissors.
