Let's start with the basics: I'm a 23 year-old straight male who graduated from Cornell in spring of 07, where I was a math major and pre-med. Currently, I am in the first semester of a biostatistics MS at the University of Michigan, I'm TAing a course for a ridiculous amount of money, and I'm applying to MD/PhD programs. My ultimate goal is currently a career in public health. I tend to be really hyper. I read fanfic, and occaisionally write it (by which I mean that I keep meaning to write it but never do). I also write dubious original fic (see above for the meaning of "write"). I also write the occasional bit of strange - and generally fairly bad - poetry (this I actually do write, although not as often as I should). All of these traits will probably be reflected here at one time or another.
My politics are hard to describe succinctly. The best I can do is to say that I'm a strong believer in individual freedom, but have unusual ideas as to what that constitutes. In practical terms, I vote Democratic, and would like to see the Dems take a more genuinely liberal stand on most issues. I'm pro-life, but also pro-birth control, pro-universal health care, etc.
I am a sun-worshiper and an animist.
I speak both English and French fluently, and I used to know some Persian, although I've forgotten most of it.
