Social: My social skill improvement continues to be successful, and I’m much happier socially. I joined okcupid, not for any particular purpose but because I realized the only reason I hadn’t was an unfounded nervousness about “something.”
Mathematics: I finished the first three chapters of Silverman and I have some papers to read; I’m going to be looking into some conjectures of Jochnowitz about the derivatives of L-series and Shimura lifts.
Practical: I replaced my keyboard and the new keyboard is great! Otherwise… I’ve been lazy due to winter break.
LessWrong: I stopped about in the middle of The Skeptical Environmentalist, possibly in part due to an ugh field from some negative comments and in part due to having some personal trouble reading recently. I just haven’t been enjoying it.
However! I joined the google group for developing rationality curricula and I’m pretty excited about that at the moment.
I don’t feel particularly accomplished compared to the others on here...
There are a few reasons I haven’t joined OkCupid, but one of them is that I’m
conflicted about the “drugs” question. I want to answer it honestly but don’t
want employers (and other
squares) to see the
honest answer.
I could make it harder to find by making the profile visible only to other
OkCupid users and not using my regular internet pseudonym, but my location and
pictures would still be there.
(I’m using the “community throwaway account” to write this.)
You can always leave the question blank on your profile and signal your drug use habits with the corresponding match questions. For a similar reason I don’t list “casual sex” on my list of what I’m looking for, but my match questions suggest I’m amenable to it.

That was fun! Offer stands open for anyone else!

Edit: I like your profile.
