My Notes edit

My self-summary

I enjoy things ranging from weeks of hiking to a few hours of video games, and most anything in between. I party, I study, I take time to think. I care for my friends and wish for the best, and realize that sometimes it's hard.

I love learning, trying new things, and going new places. I very much enjoy the outdoors, and wish I had more time to spend there. I claim photography as a small hobby, yet never have much time for it. Music fascinates me as well, though it's been a long time since I've pursued it.

What I'm doing with my life

Just moved to California to start an amazing job after earning my undergraduate degree last spring. So I'm adjusting to life on my own, looking to meet people, and trying to get settled in my new apartment.

I'm really good at

… writing, taking pictures (with time), and making good friends. I used to be good at music, but it has been a long time. I'm good at being honest, even when it's difficult.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me

I believe (hope?) people notice my honesty and general strength of character. But past what I believe, I've no clue. Thoughts?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: The Lord of the Rings, and fantasy or science fiction in general. Lately, books like Mountains Beyond Mountains have caught my fancy. Of course, other (instant) classics like Harry Potter or Death of a Salesman. There are many; just ask.

Movies: Like above, The Lord of the Rings. Also, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Some others I like a lot are National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Rock, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Then there are Disney movies like The Lion King and Aladdin, or Pixar movies like Finding Nemo or Ratatoille. Recently, I saw The Departed, which was good, and The Boondock Saints is likewise amazing.

Music: Mostly, anything that is considered "classic rock." More generally, anything outside "rap" and "country." One of my favorite artists is Jimmy Buffett. More, but less permanent, artists include Hootie and the Blowfish, Collective Soul, Coldplay, Simon and Garfunkel, and a bunch of others I'm forgetting right now. Try me, I'll probably like it. Or not, but my mind's open; more than it used to be, at least.

Food: I used to be very picky, but California has expanded my horizons. I like most things now, including Sushi, but I may still have limits. Anything from Mexican to Italian to British to German to Asian sounds fairly intriguing. College deprived me of vegetables.

These lists could be longer or more elaborate. If you're curious, just ask.

The six things I could never do without

My family, my few good friends, music, the outdoors, my memories (of all varieties: joy, sorrow, and regret), and my imagination.

It's up to you to divine (or ask) why. =)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Which of my many personal projects I should / need to complete next. Sometimes, what I'm going to do with my weekends. And far too often, how I'm going to solve some problem at work.

Lastly, Doctor Who. Mostly the character, his personality, and those of his companions. They're worth pondering.

On a typical Friday night I am

Eating dinner with my friends, hanging out doing something absurd, or even going to a themed party on occasion. Enjoying a few drinks, perhaps. When necessary (or when every alternative falls apart), I'm in doing work. Depending on everyone else's plans, I also find myself alone at my desk on rare occasions.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here

I've missed opportunities in the past, particularly with dating, because I felt what was obvious may have been "too good to be true." It's been almost four years since I've dated anyone.

You should message me if

… you're interested in meeting someone who's bright, dependable, straightforward, and otherwise comfortable. Or, for any similar reason, feel free to say hi. I'm new and adjusting to the Bay area, and I'm interested in meeting people.
