I'm 28 years old, female, and a physiology major in the Bay Area, CA. I have delineated my interest down to cognitive/psychological neuroscience. However, I am so mult-faceted and my thoughts multi-dimensional (not Twlight Zone multidimensional, mind you) that I have a hard time writing something sufficient enough to summarize myself here.
My interests hit every corner of the spectrum, and I can see relations between each one. I don't behave like "I should". I'm hard to pin down because I can understand a myriad different ways to look at things that might stem from other fields. In other words, I'm a nonlinearized thinker. I'm a free spirit. I am really and truly unconcerned with social convention, yet I am comfortable enough exisitng in any setting. There is a box, and I reside inside, outside, and in-between. My feet are grounded to earth yet I can still fly. I find beauty walking on a path in "the woods" and also in the roaring motor of a Harley.
I party as hard as I study. I've gone skydiving, para-sailing, hot-air ballooning (during a sunset), and jetskiing. I'm a split between introvert and extrovert. It's never boring inside my head; my favorite things are books. Currently, I'm reading 11 books. I can dance a whole concert by myself. I'm happy when I have a goal that I can reach independently, and I hate it when someone's breathing down my neck. My biggest fear is forced conformity and failure. My biggest joy is individualistic life. I want to see and experience the world. I'm in love with vision, and the life that allows it.
My first degree was in Visual Arts Media for Photography and Computer Art, from UCSD. I studied modern culture, language, media theory, film history, production/development, photography, critique, and modern art. I worked as a Web Designer in the dot-com industry. I hope to unify the humanities and sciences in my life, and to teach others that division is destructive. Knowledge is power. Wisdom is power with responsibility. I have had a very interesting life, and I want to make the rest extradordinary.
"Doc had taught me about the value of being the odd man out: the man who senses that there is an essential collective insanity to humans and assumes the role of the loner, the thinker, and the searching spirit who calls the privileged and the powerful to task. The power of one was based on the courage to remain separate, to think through to the truth, and not to be beguiled by convention or the plausible argument of those who expect to maintain power."
