About Me

I'm writing my doctoral thesis. This involves more agonizing than writing but is a good excuse to postpone mundane and not-so-mundane tasks like putting air in my bike tires and eating vegetables. On the plus side, the closer you get to submitting a thesis the more convenient it is as an excuse for everything short of dismemberment and being a bad tipper. I like to picture myself reading and drinking tea in my armchair, but that's usually when I'm eating and watching tv on my couch. I've lived in Oxford for a super long time and I daydream about moving someplace where I can listen to music in my car or that has a neat subway system but I am probably unprepared for the shock that giving up life in an oxford college will undoubtedly bring.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who looks good, and likes to be, naked. Also, someone who loves me enough to hold an intervention, Party-of-Five-style, about my computer solitaire habits. It's not even a fun game. Someone who gets angry and sad about cancellation of good TV shows but only measuredly indignant about the state of the world/country/etc. Sporty is cool. So is funny. So is mildly tortured and mysterious.
