I am small, but dense. I have been told many times (unfairly, and once by Chris Stock) that I looked like someone who would beat people up, but I am inclined to think that people are just mistrustful of anyone shorter than 5′ 3″. In addition to being a normal member of society, I work as a Dorm Crew Captain, get out of Cambridge for climbing and skiing whenever possible, and enjoy baking pumpkin cookies. I also own a knee-high stuffed tiger named Fred that will soon share mascot status with the viking pterodactyl and nordic platypus.
