Overview
About Me
Currently building a life in Santa Cruz, which I will likely leave for grad school. Life is like a mud castle in a high-gravity field and a torrential downpour, but so much dancing!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In case anyone wanders into me and wants to say hello. Once I'm established, perhaps there will be a larger point.

Music, Movies, and Books
Books - Kurt Vonnegut Jr., The Birth and Death of Meaning, Ishamel, The Plague, Douglas Adams, anything on the nature of mathematics (Alex's Adventures in Numberland, for example)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent more than a year going to school and being homeless. I slept on a rooftop for most of that time, and crashed on a few different couches when it rained. I spent two weeks at one point that year not spending a single dime.
