I am Passionate, Driven, and Loyal.
My Self-Summary
I'm a Christian/Catholic film student living in the Los Angeles
area, although I'm originally from Chicago.
I'm into movies, music, dancing (especially swing and ballroom
dancing), and literature. I also enjoy late night trips to the
beach, camping, and stargazing.
I tend to be driven when it comes to school and my career, but
spontaneous when it comes to having fun. I'm just as content to
stay at home having a movie marathon as going for a night
out.
:)
What I’m doing with my life
I'm currently going to college to pursue a career in film. I'm also
working on finding a job in the industry, along with writing
part-time for my brother's production company.
I’m really good at
I'm really not sure, quite frankly.
I tend to be pretty good at writing (when I get into the right
state of mind), cooking (when I don't end up setting fire to the
dishtowels), listening, musical theater, and filmmaking in
general.
I really enjoy swing dancing (although I would not say I'm
fantastic at it), and making and enjoying music (vocal,
instrumental- it doesn't matter).
The first things people usually notice about me
Again, I'm not really sure. But, if I had to guess, I'd say:
Physically; Probably my long, silky hair, or my green eyes.
Non-physically; Probably my take-charge personality if they first
meet me while I'm working. In general, my craziness I guess, lol.

The six things I could never do without
- God
- My family and friends.
- My cell phone
- My computer with the internet
- Hope
- ...?
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Mainly, how I'm using my time on Earth.
"Am I living my life to the fullest?" "Am I where I'm supposed to
be, doing what I'm supposed to be doing?" "Am I showing the ones I
love how much I care?"
These are the questions that I ponder. Of course that's usually
mixed in with a "When was the last time I slept? I can't
remember.", but we won't mention that. :)
On a typical Friday night I am
Studying, having a movie marathon with friends, or possibly joining
my friends on random adventures to places like Santa Monica and
Santa Clarita at about 3 am.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have a hard time carrying on small-talk if I can't wrap my brain
around the other person's personality and how their brain works.
You should message me if
You're a christian guy with a heartbeat and pulse. Actually, the
last two things might be negotiable. We'll see. Lol.
