My self-summary:

I'm the angsty intellectual type--intense when I'm not still asleep, sensitive when I'm not evaluating an argument, a "sad young literary man" except without the literary ability, and getting less and less young. You know, that sort of thing. You're smart and thoughtful and will argue (with pleasure) when you think someone's getting things wrong; equally important, you're sensitive and affectionate and you develop strong emotional attachments that have consequences; you're ambivalent about all sorts of things, because it's complicated, and that's ok; yes, you laugh, but it's not so much because you "love to laugh" (like what, a fucking hobby?) as that some things are delightful or WTF preposterous; you're absolutely ok with violating various kinds of norms and expectations...when that's worth doing (you can resist anything but temptation); spending all night talking to someone who's turned out to be endlessly fascinating is practically the best thing possible you can imagine for tomorrow night; what matters to you, finally, is experiencing beauty and getting some things right and feeling a connection with somebody who gets you. If you're this person, I'm looking for you. I have some things I want to tell you.

My perfect Sunday:

sleep late, brunch, lament that the hardcopy Sunday Times is no longer delivered to my door, work on a problem for awhile, go see a movie (for the first, second, and sixth parts, "with someone I like" is implied)

The movie I've watched the most times:

Manhattan, My Dinner with Andre, Magnolia

My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:

Humble beginnings, irritation, college (smart people!), New York, grad school, (smarter people!; lots of intersting travel), time passing, disappointment, excitement, ravages of time; LA (beautiful people!), ???.

Obscure knowledge I possess:

I can prove to you that there are "more" real numbers than natural numbers. And other important things.
