What I’m doing with my life

I'm a grad student. I teach. I run a critter sanctuary.

I’m really good at

Memorization of anything fairly useless.

The first things people usually notice about me

The shortness. The quiet.

The six things I could never do without

My people, my critters, access to books, the written word, tea, Sunday mornings in pjs.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Problems of translation.

On a typical Friday night I am

Relaxing and cuddling.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm Jewish but I love Christmas carols.

You should message me if

I don't know you and you feel that I should.

NB: I don't do the OKCupid QuickMatch thing.
