I am a deeply feeling person, an incorrigible daydreamer, and irrepressably impulsive.

I am a highly intelligent life form (you should see the way I interact with mirrors! ;-) I am a computer scientist by every bit of me. My experiences writing code are numbered among the most creative, beautiful and fulfilling things I have ever done.

I am tangled up in all of the little things; philosophy is non-optional for me.

I am a humble member of and volunteer for the Free Software community (free as in freedom, ¬(free as in beer)).

I am a singer and a poet who will hopefully become a singer-songwriter some day.

I am an intellectual insubordinate uncompromisingly opposed to postmodern bullshit in philosophy and in art.

I am obsessed with words: etymology, puns, names, languages, alliteration, assonance, rhyme, and style (down with the MLA! (really, the MHRA Style makes much more sense)).

I am a hipster at heart, at least when it comes to music.

I am unapologetically opposed to religion and anything that smells like it.

I am not of the conviction that ideas merit an ounce of respect simply by virtue of someone espousing them.

I am desirous of some kind of transcendence from the expectations and mindsets of my own culture, but dubious about even its nominal possibility (which is part of why I'm interested in this course. :-) I am evidently verbose in my speech, and even more pronouncedly so (hah!) in my writing.

I am surrounded by people that I love, and fortunate enough not to have to bother with friends I merely ‘like’.

I am lately, I think, developing a talent for finding cool people wherever they go. The shortage is an illusion.

I am only beginning to afford my mother, father, and sister the respect and interest they deserve as I enter my adult life. I intend to continue down this path.

I am inclined to flounder in ordinary life as I flourish in my intellectual one, and I hope that this year I will begin to change that. I want to feel in control of my own mental processes and account for the weaknesses of my ADHD.

I am, perhaps ironically given the immediately previous statement, a determinist and not a believer in even the cogency of ‘free will’ as a metaphysical concept. ‘I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.’ I am a metaphilospical optimist: I see the possibility (and occasional actualization) of philosophical progress, and I hope to make some in my lifetime.

I am Patrick C.
