Bio

I'm a 24-year-old UCSD student working toward BAs in archaeology and ancient history, followed by a PhD in Egyptology. I love reading, discussing atheistic humanism, and meeting intelligent people. I'm new to SD, so let's meet and greet! :)

Greetings

  • “ Hi Shannon, I'd like to let you know what kind of person you're dealing with. After responding to another member's suggestion that we meet-up at a beach I responded by suggesting Blacks Beach (which is my favorite beach, and I'm not embarrassed to admit it), whereupon the organizer (whoever that is) booted my from the group and sent me the following message: (see below) ”

  • “ Jate,

    Since we've yet to meet, it's hard to know how to take your
    proposal. I prefer to take it as a joke. It's not that we're
    closed minded or necessarily prudish. But as an opening line in
    an attempt to make new friends, your proposal is verbally adept
    but socially clumsy. Back to charm school for you, my friend.
    Then, try again, OK? -- but with a different group. It's best
    you know who your talking to before offering to bare any more
    than your soul. ”

  • “ Welcome to San Diego Shannon! Having spent some time in New England, I can tell you that adjusting to SoCal society may not be easy. There's a lot of distance out here, and time tends to stand still. (Perhaps our sense of time is relative to our sense of space...or the population density...I don't know.) ”
