I am obsessed with Africa and development after studying for 6 months at the University of Ghana. If all I had to live for was music I'd consider my life a happy one, I go to a lot of shows and am always looking for new bands and new people to go with. If you like pop or pop country leave my page now, we'll never get along. I adore talking to strangers and meeting new people. I am absolutely that person who will come up to you in a bar strike up a conversation and then never see you again, I suppose I just find people fascinating. I have a tendency to ramble, but I love that point when you know someone well enough that you can sit in comfortable silences.

I am currently working full time while taking grad classes in preparation for applying to an econ PhD program.

If you truly challenge yourself, you'll realize that that there is nothing beyond the basic necessities that you truly couldn't live without. However, books and music are what I love, and I would hope to never be deprived of those. And tea, loose leaf, it's pretentious and delicious.

do not message me if you're married (yes a lot of married people used to message me, no this isn't my only criteria, it's merely a base restriction).
