1. I'm a dork. I like Harry Potter. I acted at Renaissance Faire when I was in high school. I like to dress up in costumes. I still use my imagination and I'm very playful. I think being grown up and serious is boring and am horrified that it seems to be slowly happening to me.

2. I can be intense. I'm a very spiritual person, but in an unconventional way. I think a lot about big, annoying things that my brain won't ever be able to fully grasp. I philosophize on life pretty much all the time.

3. Music is my favourite part of life. Second to that is humor, which makes life worth living. I'll find a way to laugh at even the grimmest subjects.

4. My interests are numerable. I dabble in lots. Boredom is the downside of life.

Moving to Nice in mid-August.

Understanding you.

Probably how I'm dressed or the weird expression on my face.

I also stare into people's eyes too much and it makes them uncomfortable.

Fleet Foxes, Ween, John Frusciante, Portishead, Interpol, Nick Drake, Castanets, Sigur Ros, Animal Collective, Great Lake Swimmers, Jeff Buckley, Cat Stevens, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Edith Piaf, My Morning Jacket, Wu-Tang Clan, Elton John, John Fahey, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Shins, Bright Eyes, Radiohead, Robert Johnson, Rolling Stones, Mazzy Star, The Beatles, The Strokes, Lata Mangeshkar, Modest Mouse. This list could go on for days.

The things I've been into lately: Kerouac and Bukowski. Oh and George R.R. Martin. Re-reading HP.

Harold and Maude, Ghost World, Into the Wild, Dilwale Dulhania le Jayenge. I'm obsessed with Bollywood.

I'm vegetarian.

"He saw ... a flowing river of faces, hundreds, thousands, which all came and went, and yet all seemed to be there at once, which all constantly changed and became new ones.... He saw the face of a fish, a carp, with its maw opened in limitless pain, a dying fish with bursting eyes. He saw the face of a newborn child, red and covered with wrinkles, distorted by crying. He saw the face of a murderer, saw him stick a knife into a person's body. In the same instant, he saw this criminal kneeling in chains and his head being cut off by an executioner with a sword. He saw the bodies of men and women naked in the postures and battles of ravenous lovemaking. He saw corpses stretched out--still, cold, vacant. He saw animal heads, heads of boars, crocodiles, elephants, bulls, and birds. He saw gods--Krishna and Agni. He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships to one another, each helping the others, hating them, destroying them, giving birth to them again. Each was a death urge, a passionate and painful confession of impermanence, yet none died; each only transformed."

"Sad understanding is what compassion means- I resign from the attempt to be happy. It's all discrimination anyway, you value this and devalue that and go up and down but if you were like the void you'd only stare into space and in that space though you'd see stiffnecked people in their favorite various displaytory furs and armors sniffing and miffed on benches of this one-same ferryboat to the other shore you'd still be staring into space for form is emptiness, and emptiness is form- O golden eternity, these simperers in your show of things, take them and slave them to your truth that is forever true forever- forgive me my human floppings- I think therefore I die- I think therefore I am born- Let me be void still- Like a happy child lost in a sudden dream and when his buddy addresses him he doesn't hear, his buddy nudges him he doesn't move; finally seeing the purity and truth of his trance the buddy watches in wonder- you can never be that pure again, and jump out of such trances with a happy gleam of love, being an angel in the dream"

I guess this section here is for me to admit what I actually do for fun with my friends and for you to judge whether we could hang for realz.

So some things I do... "typically"... with friends...

1. Watch Bollywood movies and drink either good beer like Blue Moon or Full Sail or oooo that Mississippi Mud stuff or really cheap wine like those giant vats of Sangria you can get for $8.

2. Drive around listening to music and shouting and smoking cigarettes and weed and pissing on sidewalks. Then eating taco bell. Then finding amazing vistas to sit at and gaze down at humanity and cringe. And then talk about some crazy bullshit like- what's outside the universe?

3. Watch movies that are not Bollywood movies and try to pretend like we wouldn't rather be watching Bollywood movies.

4. Occasional parties. But I'm kinda tired of that.

5. Walking aimlessly through dark streets having discussions about how dead-end life is after you become an adult. Especially on warm summer nights. That's the best.

6. Doing absolutely nothing but asking each other "What do YOU want to do?" over and over again.

I don't actually believe I'll meet anyone interesting on OkCupid.

You are looking for something true.

AND

- You don't talk like this: "i think ur rly cute lol"

- YOU HAVE MORE TO SAY THAN "HEY WHAT'S UP?" (Sorry I decided to capitalize all of that, because a large percentage of the messages I'm getting are still along those lines. If you don't read my profile, then why are you bothering to message me?)

- Are prepared to tell me why you are messaging me.

- You don't take yourself too seriously.

- You don't have a picture of your naked torso on your profile. I don't care how muscular you are.

- You won't bother me with your expectations.

P.S. I hate IM, so I don't use it. Don't be offended.
