Generally things that damage my hearing: Concerts, electronic music, and movies. I'm an avid sports fan, especially of hockey and football. I DJ and therefore I enjoy blowing large sums of cash on records that I get tired of playing after 5 or 6 times. I'm a part time science nerd. And if you go out at all in the city, you probably know that I take full advantage of Chicago's vibrant nightlife. And I *heart* great food, especially sushi!
Someone to be my personal assistant (no experience required). . . Other scientists who aren't boring dorks . . . People who like to holiday in Detroit . . . Dancing machines . . . Comedians . . . A benefactor to pay for trips abroad . . .
