Hey there! Basically, I'm an actor. I just completed my sophmore year at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and I'm pretty happy with how it went. I love acting and singing, and sometimes will start a scene, monologue, or song at times that will look pretty random to other people -- but trust me, inside my head, it all made perfect sense.

Most of the time, anyway.

I'm usually not all that much for making jokes -- although get me in a good enough mood and you'll get a zinger or two. And so...yeah, there's a lot more to me than that, but I think I'll cover that in other categories.

And then there's my interests. I love to read, novels particularly. I've got tons of favorite writers, primarily in the science fiction, fantasy, and alternate history genres. I find the last especially fascinating; I love history, which is why I love the books so much, I suppose.

I would just like to take a moment to say, while I am enjoying this site, I'm not looking to find anyone to date here at this time. I am currently in a committed relationship.

Well, I'm a student at NYU, so I'm working pretty hard, and usually keep very busy. Life is good, and I like it. When I'm not at NYU, I work in a high school as a Teacher's Assistant Substitute in the Special Ed. department, and I've recently discovered how much I really love doing that. I'm seriously considering continuing my education part-time once I'm done at NYU, and working towards getting my teacher's certification. I also work as a sort of acting coach pro bono at a small local theatre group for teens during the summers.

Generally, I have to say, I love what I'm doing.

are my smile and my sincerity.

Who I am, who my friends are, what my friends are doing, why my friends do what they do, why I do what I do... in a word, people. Also different philosophies, politics, religion, and all sorts of things.

Probably at home, hopefully with my friends. I might be out, depends on what's going on, but I'm usually not the one to suggest we all go out, unless it's to get dinner.

I sound interesting or you'd like to get to know me.

That's about it, thanks for reading! :)
