I'm a graduate student in experimental psychology. Keeps me busy, and better yet, I love it. Creativity is my favorite topic in psychology, though anything about the human mind I find really cool. My thesis is on memory, which is a lot cooler than it sounds. I'm more of a polymath than a psychologist specifically. Philosophy of mind, economics, art, history of Rome, astronomy, these only a few things I know about! Knowledge for its own sake is awesome and sexy. I like to think about the many varieties of personal bonds there are in the world and their styles. I like wondering if someday technology may allow consciousness to be moved from one body to another. Or maybe how to push my mental abilities further. Sometimes I like to appreciate the simpler things like the best way to make a hamburger - what's a new topping to try?

I'm also a scifi writer. I write short stories about consciousness, the mind, mental experience, and grabbing control of one's own life. A lot of my writing involves VR technology and transhumanist concepts. Wild technology ideas. Artificial intelligence, altered states, I use those ideas a lot. I'd be glad to share some stories! Nietzsche, William Gibson, Robert Heinlein are major influences on me. Basically, I like any fiction or stories about all these ideas I mentioned, and one's ability to alter the course of their life. Deeply psychological stuff. Shows like Legion, Mr. Robot, American Gods, Hannibal.

Music is on my mind a lot. I'm listening to Foster the People at the moment. I like music that sounds dark. Punk is pretty empowering. Post-punk is heavenly. Classic rock has power. Franz Liszt is the first metalhead! Some names: The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, My Chemical Romance, Ariana Grande, REM, Joy Division, Ladytron, VNV Nation, Linkin Park.

Being experimental in life is important to me! I cherish my friends!
