Much of this stuff is still true, except for the stuff that isn't.<br /><br />(For some reason, the numbers didn't copy over.)<br /><br />I have (as of this writing) nearly 1,800 posts on my blog, Another Monkey.<br /><br />If there's something I haven't told you about myself there, it's probably because I don't want you to know.<br /><br />I drive a 1996 Toyota Tercel 4-door DX with over 300,000 miles on it.<br /><br />My daily commute is 66.6 miles, round-trip.<br /><br />I don't believe in killing unnecessarily, even insects. I have captured and released bees, wasps, and hornets that have been inside buildings, and I know how to lead a housefly out of a house. (They're photophilic* - they move towards light. Darken the room the fly is in and use a flashlight to lead it towards an outside door. Then let it out of the house.)<br /><br />I double-majored in Physics and Philosophy at a Jesuit liberal arts college (the University of Scranton.)<br /><br />I planned to get my graduate degree in Physics at Bryn Mawr, where they specialized in Non-Linear Dynamics, but Bryn Mawr put ALL graduate programs on hold for incoming students that year.<br /><br />I knew this before the head of the Physics department at Bryn Mawr did.<br /><br />I did one semester of grad work at the University of Delaware, but washed out very quickly.<br /><br />I broke two cars while learning to drive.<br /><br />I have been described as being "too intense."<br /><br />I consider myself unintense to the point of being nearly catatonic at times.<br /><br />I believe I have lost at least one longtime friend because of my blog.<br /><br />I believe this is because she thought I had said something terrible about her.<br /><br />I was actually referring to her mother.<br /><br />I have been to Ireland three times, with a side trip to London once.<br /><br />I have "contact memory". By touching an object, I can remember everything I have ever associated with that object. Well, almost everything.<br /><br />This is very useful when I am trying to remember something I read in a book. I only have to touch the book, and I can (usually) remember (almost) everything I have ever read in it.<br /><br />I use a related skill to encode memories of vacations into books that I read while I am on vacation. As I re-read the book I re-experience the events of the vacation.<br /><br />I bought my grandmother's old house in 2006.<br /><br />I still haven't moved in.<br /><br />I can communicate with dogs, cats, pre-verbal children, and at least one rhinoceros.<br /><br />My hearing is least sensitive in the range of most human voices.<br /><br />I have mild prospagnosia. I have tremendous difficulty recognizing and reconstructing faces.<br /><br />I don't do memes. Most of the time.<br /><br />*I think I should have said "phototropic" which can mean "tends to move towards light" as well as "tends to grow towards light."D.B.
