User:Mendel/whoami

I have initially disclosed very little about myself; I wanted people to judge me by my actions. Now that you know me and I've disclosed tidbits about myself here and there, it's time for this attempt at a self-portrait. Feel free to |disagree.

Traits

 * strong computer science/mathematics background
 * well read
 * amateur musician
 * cook regularly
 * can reason and explain well
 * strong text comprehension / listening ability
 * try to put too much into what I write; thus I'm sometimes hard to understand or appear as if "talking down"
 * very dry humor, like to play with ambiguity
 * subversive streak (still amazed at reaching admin position)
 * no sense of dignity, theatrical
 * absolutely honest, reasonably open
 * very self-critical, as a result I often appear too critical of others. Of course criticism (both when I criticise others and vice versa) bears no connotation of ill-will, because if it did, I couldn't be self-critical without hating myself.
 * stubborn
 * believe in doing the best you can to find out where and who you are, and then following your heart
 * find the bible to be right if read correctly; live life by life, not by bible
 * recommends reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
 * sees himself in the Healer and architect roles.
 * considers content before form
 * tends to apply criterium of "artistic merit" to form
 * this means that "socially adapted" is often inferior since it's not original
