My name is Kiel, which is Kyle opposed to Keil. You might think it's strange, cool or possible rather uninteresting but I think its pretty rad.

I am currently a college student finding himself in the sort of social limbo associated with the loss of connection to previous habits and lifestyles. I would once classify myself in the worst of categories of "Gamer" and "Anime enthusiast". Now I find myself shying away from such things. Although I can still enjoy them to a certain degree, I'm finding other things that pique my interest more as my previous hobbies seem lackluster and rather un-fulfilling.

Some people might think I come off a little cocky, it might be true I just think that I am a fairly intelligent person and I believe that I am pretty good at most things I do. I often look at myself as a jack-of-all-trades but mostly because I have the ambition to know a little about most everything. You never know when obscure information will come in handy (or be rather amusing).

My sense of humor is important to me and I find it rather unique. I could best describe it as a dry sarcasm, however I don't really know if that's the right word for it. It is more facetious, or rather always in good fun and less on the cynical side. I think we call this wit, but then who knows. I can be completely random and obscure especially with references to not necessarily something you've ever heard of just maybe you never cared about.

I go to Umass Amherst and I'm in the Kinesiology major with the intention of pursuing a DPT which is apparently required to become a physical therapist these days.

My home is in a Town called Medway, you've probably never heard of it.

During this summer however I will be in Amherst at Hampshire College working at Camp Kingsmont, a health and fitness summer camp, trying to get into the Nutrition Internship for next summer.

Oh yeah and being a dork/completely random sometimes...

Indulging in my new found obsession with tea after discovering Teavana.

I love to cook, I went to a school during my high school years for culinary arts and it is something that I am very passionate about. When I have a kitchen to do so I cook a lot. It's been an interesting turn of events as a Kinesiology major I've been fairly focused on eating and living healthily. Though I don't consider myself a vegetarian or a vegan I tend to eat in a manner where most people would believe I am. I just find that it is so much easier to be creative with such dishes when meat is not the main focus of a dish, or there at all. I happen to have many friends with restrictive eating habits so I have plenty of fun turning traditional dishes into vegetarian/vegan friendly meals.

I would also say I am very good at video games, although I wouldn't consider myself obsessed with them either. Art, however I typically have to feel inspired to draw, paint or otherwise produce works of art.

I am amazing at retaining completely useless, obscure but completely interesting tidbits of information that are relevant to almost any conversation.

The most common phrase would to describe me would be: "Hey, you sass that hoopy Kiel? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.

Oh and on a less interesting note, there's the fact that my beard (which lately, has taken vacation) is naturally a shade of red.

Or if you understand the completely unnecessary but humorous references in my profile and understand that I'm not serious about the most private thing i admit. I may be a card, but not necessarily a shiny one.
