Hello, there. I'm Matisse. Ī like asparagus and math and philosophy. Sometimes I get existential after reading short stories. Sometimes problem-solving fills me with joy. I'd love to talk to you if you like math or philosophy or CTY (or asparagus). I was one of the four founding members of The Unpause 14.1. I was also the girl with the "SMILING IS SIN" sign and the handmade Queen of Hearts dress (that is, the dress covered in 12 decks of cards, handsewn on that was worn by me on Halloween and by Nico Vallone on Second Saturday). .

I was a potential five year freak, a nevermore, and/or ā two year tragedy. Read: I was eligible for five years of CTY and didn't come the first year, so I was 13 and about to be a freshman when I was a squirrel; I loved it so much that ī double-sessioned the next year while knowing I was a nevermore because I wanted to go to math camp. It's sort of silly, actually--ī didn't want to outgrow CTY. I obsessed over CTY all through my freshman year; I didn't want it to ever get old. That's essentially why I left: so that I can call myself ā forevermore. It was a good decision, in the end; LAN.14.1 was literally a perfect session, and there's no need to try to top it.

Tumblr: pseudoprimal.tumblr.com Facebook: you can find me pretty easily, as there aren't an awful lot of CTY-going Matisse's running about.

Do come talk to me if you're interested in CTY history or tradition, interesting mathematics, or philosophy; or if you'd like to tell anecdotes or groan-worthy puns. Especially a possible note to a CTYer of the future: come talk to me about your conceptions about the Alcove.
