[Antonio the Sixth]

I've been on this forum for eight years (yesterday was the anniversary) and never completed this. I guess my time has come.

Age: 23
Gender: Male. Not happy about it, but don't have solid grounds to argue against it.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Hopeless
Race/ethnic compostion: As far back as I'm aware, 93.75% Italian
Religion: Agnostic
Height: 1.71m
Weight: 60kg
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Where you were born: France
Occupation: PhD student
Languages: Italian, French, English, some remnants of German
Political orientation: Real Social Democrat. Increasingly tempted to make the jump and just go with "socialist".
Person you most admire: My mom (normal)
Favorite Book(s) Shamefully, I've read very little beyond academic books in my discipline (among those Politics Against Markets: the Social Democratic road to power deserves a shoutout even though it's 40 years old). As far as "classics" go, The Grapes of Wrath left a very strong impression on me. I'm reading an unpublished manuscript by a friend that deserves to become a classic.
Favorite Show(s) Live action: Doctor Who during the RTD years, Star Trek TNG,Borgen. Animated: Noir, Chris Colorado, Batman TAS, Digimon

Political figures you most admire: Olof Palme, Per Albin Hansson, Enrico Berlinguer, Antonio Gramsci, Jean Jaurès, Pierre Mendès France, Clement Attlee, Tommy Douglas
Favorite President: FDR, I guess
Worst President: A month ago I would have said Buchanan or Pierce. Now I'm reserving my judgment until 2020.
Favorite Sports team: Italian soccer team
If you could pick a nationality: No doubt I'd feel safer with US citizenship right now.
What year did you join Atlas? In a more innocent time

Doubt anyone will be surprised by any of this, but still.
