My self-summary
*So I have just returned from living in France for a few months. I will update the rest of my profile when I get a chance, but I loved France and am now looking for ways to spend my summer. I will be moving to Chicago for graduate school in late August (which I am very excited about). For the meantime, I am spending time with my few friends who have remained in the area after school, and would love to meet some new people this summer.

I'm interested in learning about just about everything and like to try to help people. I've been moving around over the last nine years, having lived in Maine for two, Pennsylvania for two, Kansas for about two, and Cleveland for the last three. I'm a romantic and a skeptic, both of which can sometimes get me into trouble. I used to be very shy, of which I still have some remnants. I also have a tendency to get into awkward situations, which I've become resigned to and like to think is charming.

I am nice, curious, and eccentric

What I’m doing with my life
I graduated from college this past spring, and just recently got a job that I'm happy and excited about, running a site that tutors adults working towards their GEDs. I'm also auditing classes and getting ready to apply to graduate schools.

I plan to travel to France for four months in mid-January, which I'm very excited about. After that, I'll probably be back in town for a couple of months, then off to grad school, wherever it is.

This leaves me in an unusual situation, as I'm a person who has typically been looking for longer term relationships. But I'm now essentially moving in three and a half months, so barring anything quite unforeseen, am not looking for anything to really extend beyond January.

I’m really good at
Teaching/tutoring

General curiosity

Writing and math and related activities. Although I majored in English, I won the math award from my high school many years ago, based on a test, despite failing out of my math class due to attendance, homework, etc... I have become somewhat more responsible since then.

I can curl my tongue upside down in addition to the normal way.

I'm good at listening and talking to my friends when they are going through issues.

I think I'm good at philosophy but that could be largely because I currently agree with my current ideas.

When I was in elementary school I was an idiot savant at running while balancing a ping-pong ball on a paddle.

The first things people usually notice about me
What was the first thing you noticed about me? I'm not sure what others first notice about me, although I suppose it would be nice if their first thought was that I'm good looking. I think, based on reactions that I have gotten from my friends, that I come across as significantly less eccentric until people get to know me a little better.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I like a lot of books. I love most of the classics. In terms of pop literature I have tended towards the fantasy genre, although I have been broadening what I'll read recently. The most recent book I read not for school was "The Abstinence Teacher" which was great, and I'm always interested in hearing any suggestions for great books that you have.

Movies: hmm, so many. About a week ago I watched Mean Girls for the first time, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which my friends had never seen. They were definitely the best movies I had seen in a while. I like most types of movies, whether stupid comedies, high end classics, action, or indies, but typically don't go for horror or tear-jerkers. Watching movies with friends is one of my favorite activities.

Mostly classic rock but willing to try anything.

All asian cuisines. American food, French food, Italian food, Mexican food, not Costa Rican food or traditional English food, and Indian food (I recognize that India is in Asia but I don't think of it as Asian).

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything. I think that I think obsessive-compulsively. However, these include the future, the nature of the universe, which decision is the best one, random logical tangents, and what other people are thinking about.

On a typical Friday night I am
Hanging out with friends. Often watching a movie in one of our apartments, but sometimes going out to a bar/club. I've fairly recently started bowling, which I'm pretty bad at but think is fun. This Friday night, it seems, I am filling out my Okcupid profile.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit
Ask and I'll tell you just about anything.
A little over four years ago I had a pretty bad breakdown.
I am looking into buying a video game to help teach me how to dance.
