I am enthusiastic about things, if nothing else. I am LDS and a persistent believer in religious equality and acceptance. I value sleep and proper grammar and intelligence.

I also really like it when guys wear shirts in their profile photos and don't stand in the bathroom to take said photos (cleverly using the mirror to get a good angle). I understand the difficulty of taking photos with phones, but if you have access to a regular, digital camera, you should learn to using the timer setting or at least hire your neighbor to take a picture for you. I promise that it will end well and don't get me started on lighting.

I really appreciate it when people spell things correctly and while I am prone to the occasional emoticon, they should not be used in place of end punctuation.

I like to write and I like reading, though sometimes I go a few months without doing either a lot, depending on how much homework I have or how much time I spend strumming my ukulele absentmindedly. I also like the internet, which is another reason why I don't read/write as much as I would like to think that I want to.

I play the violin, somewhat well. I dabble in piano-playing. I like Chemistry, Biology, English, Digital Media, and Psychology. I currently write monthly articles for several local newspapers as well as maintain a blog that no one reads (emilysnonsensicalrambling.wordpress.com).

I have a wide taste in everything. There are few things that I truly dislike.

I'm a Chemistry major at Weber State University.

Nothing at the moment, though I will be starting college this summer, which is supposedly the way one improves their chances at a successful future.

writing, though my organization skills are a little lacking. Other than that, I'm not particularly good at anything, though I can knit a decent bearded hat.

My physical presence, I would imagine. Other than that, I wouldn't know.

I'm really not picky

Water, air, shelter, food, regulated temperature..... my pancreas...

Meta-cognition.

Reading or knitting, though I often get distracted by the internet. I can't help it. I like shiny things.

Sometimes... I wear my socks miss-matched.

you feel so inclined, though if you are messaging me to ask me for a date right away, I will probably reject you. Not only am I determined to be careful, but I have no transportation and I live in a ridiculously secluded area at present and it would be immeasurably inconvenient. It's nothing personal, I promise.
