- I'm a math/science geek
- At the moment I'm living with friends while I wait for the coop board to approve me for my new apartment.
- I've lost both my parents in the last six years.
- I was on Jeopardy
- I have two older sisters.
- I'm a Martian. I was born on earth but my parents were from Mars, we visit Mars and some day we will go back there to live.
- I tell people I'm from Queens; if you know what I mean.
