Some Answers

So, here’s a list of things about me. I stole this from the “Poor Indian Grad Student” who’s linked in my links list. I thought it was an interesting list of qualities. So, I wrote in my own answers. Some of mine were his, as well. Interesting. I sometimes get e-mails like this (as I’m sure most of you do) and I usually answer them, though I don’t usually pass them along because I know a lot of people hate them. But, anyway, maybe you can learn a little bit about me today.
