I'm a first-year graduate student in Plant Biology at Penn State University. I just got married in August, and we live in a one-bedroom apartment with two cats. One of them is nocturnal and incredibly skittish; the other one is incredibly friendly and behaves like a dog in many ways. I like to rough-house with her. My wife and I met through swing dancing, which we continue to do intermittently. I studied martial arts for 8 years, but I am now trying to get into parkour. I enjoy wasting time with video games, so I try to limit that activity when I have important things to achieve. I used to play tabletop RPGs but don't have anyone to play with anymore. I consider myself pretty nerdy, but I try to be a charismatic one like Feynman. I'm writing this intermittently in class, so I've lost the flow and am going to end it really abruptly.

Feynman is a good one to try to imitate. Sagan seems like a good choice as well.
