ABOUT ME

I'm easygoing and can find something to love in every person--I've encountered very few people that I really could not get along with (and believe me, they were real jerks! :P). But the point is that if we spend a couple days together, then we're bound to have fun. I'm thankful for any nice thing that another person does for me and do my best to respect other people's space. I can also juggle, so keep that in mind.

Interests

My three main interests are math, music, and pottery. I study math and love learning about new math--I think math is one of the most beautiful and important common endeavors of the human race. Music needs no justification--I listen, but don't play, unfortunately. And pottery is my hobby--I love to sit down at the wheel for a few hours, turn my brain off, and feel that mud between my fingers. No better way to relax, in my opinion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once went to a friend's piano recital and she played moving classical music for an hour without a single sheet of notes in front of her--all in her head. I was blown away.

I've hiked through some of Costa Rica's rainforest and was in a constant state of awe--such incredibly ancient forest. I'm not into New-Age or mystical stuff, but I have to believe that there's a wisdom in that forest that transcends our understanding.

Once my friends and I got onto the roof of a hotel on an acid trip and looked over downtown Cleveland. This is probably the only time someone was awestruck by Cleveland, but believe me I was. (I was much less awestruck by the cop waiting for us in the hotel lobby, but that's another story...)
