People who get me know this... I do actually care about people, but I care about truth a lot as well. !

My career path... Academia. I'm currently studying for a PhD. !

My spirituality... I don't consider myself spiritual, but I do like the way to world makes me feel sometimes. That probably doesn't count. !

Letters after my name... MEng !

My relationship status... In a relationship !

My relationship saga... I'm currently in a long-term relationship of 2 years, which began as a secondary relationship - I was with someone else at the time. All concerned were aware of what was going on. !

My political leanings... slightly left !

My political views... I don't fit very well into a particular party, but mostly enshrine personal freedom whilst providing for the less fortunate with government schemes. !

An awful movie... Manos: The Hands of Fate !

Delicious food... Chicken Tikka Dhansak !

Proudest thing I ever did... Thing I was most proud of? Any of those times I stepped outside my comfort zone to do something interesting or worthwhile. Anything from Nightline to Herofest. !

Best time I ever had... Probably one of the Christmases with my ex's family. !

Worst time I ever had... Trying to be in a quad-shaped relationship. It made me quite messed up in the head. !

What Ive been up to lately... Procrastinating, writing software, writing papers, watching films, playing board games, not having enough time to myself. !

What drives me crazy... People who don't see the point of arguing. People who are content to believe whatever they are told. Restrictions on personal freedoms where those freedoms don't impinge on others. The inherent randomness of whether good decisions and hard work actually pay off in the end. !

What makes me glad to be alive... Enjoying understanding something sciencey or arty. Understanding another person's point of view. Finding that I've grown and changed. Being right ;) !

I believe this... There is no God, and furthermore, if there were, knowing that would be fairly useless information in terms of how to behave in life. !

My ethnicity as I define it... White, Caucasian, European !
