1. I really love your "Even Cowgirls Get To Choose" t-shirt. 2. Iron Jawed Angels. Obviously. 3. Honest to god, I actually saw coffee flavored jello once. 4. Muffins and Bagels. 5. I remember you coming to the APO formal with Colin and looking rather amused as he danced. 6. A kangaroo. 7. How did you get to be so cool?
1. You have some of the funniest effing LJ entries I have ever seen. 2. You're kind of like High Fidelity, but with a little bit less of the mean-spirited snark. 3. carrot. Just because I say so. 4. Again, no inside jokes. A tragedy indeed. 5. I think it was just with you saying something CT-related and me being kind of "huh"? 6. A panda bear. I don't know why. 7. So a philosophy PhD? Explain....
I like to work things out, not engineer style work things out where I build a robot that can toast while it does translation work.
I have a healthy respect for rational analysis, and the best thing to do with that is apply it to the problems of philosophy.
You know how if you can't remember the name of a song that you can remember three notes of, it'll drive you nuts? I'm like that with the philosophy stuff. If I can't figure out how two ideas I want to hold can work together, I'll just keep coming back to it. Ad nauseum.
So when I found out I could have a career doing this (which, in addition to liking, I'm also pretty good at), I realized there wasn't another job I could be content with.
Yeah, that's about it. I like to think at things (not about them, but at them) until my mind powers can break them down using conceptual analysis and logical inference forms to beat those nasty little problems into submission.
Also, it helped me avoid the real world for another few years.
