BioI graduated from UC Santa Barbara last year as a physics major. I started at the University of Michigan for grad school in the fall. In the interim I had a silly job in a warehouse, where my nickname was Danimal. Don't call me that.
I often have a need to think really hard before I speak; I've been doing this since before I can remember. This causes problems because almost no one knows to let me form a sentence properly, so conversations often move on before I can get my opinion in. This is generally a bad thing, but on the other hand I have no sympathy for people who say something hurtful or rash, in their haste, and immediately regret it. So it balances out.
People who know me, but not very well, often remark on how easygoing I am, and then comment on how I need to let some anger out lest I crack one day. If I'm storing up anger I can't tell either, and for the most part I really feel as easygoing as I seem. On the other hand, the whole untreated depression thing might mean they're right after all. Fortunately I'm also a procrastinator, so we might never know.
I have really strong opinions about esoteric nerdliness/esoterica, such as: the best underused spell in Third Edition D&D (Dimensional Anchor), the Star Trek doctor with the best bedside manner (Bashir, though I can't give a good reason; he's just so cute), and whether Aleister Crowley is a giant dork (he is).
I have three religions, and none. I believe in the principles of Buddhism, but not the crazy mythology. I really want to believe in Asatru, but I can't get over the fact that someone made it up, which is a big stumbling block. I've had a good time with Discordianism, but I'm not really outgoing enough to get out there and Mindfuck the populace, so that's going nowhere. So, here I sit.
My Discordian name is Damascus O'Leary. I haven't done anything with it for months.

I recently came out as a low-intensity transvestite. I don't make a big deal of it, partly because I don't know what to make of it. I don't do it much, and always inside where I won't scare the horses. In a partially unrelated way, I also believe that men should have the same clothing options as women, social-acceptability-wise, but it's hard to legislate that.
My quote to joke by:
"You must never show that you think you're being funny."
--Eric Idle
