So this is always kind of a frustrating annoying part, or at least it has been on sites like myspace and facebook. Who knows how to summarize themselves? Maybe you'll be able to gather little bits and pieces of information about me from the other sections here I feel like filling out right now and practice your own personal psycho-analysis. We all do it.

P.S. I think I'm going to go overboard on the movies/music/books section, because I'm a big geek like that. I'm going to copy lists from my facebook or something.

I write and record music; occasionally I'll go play my stuff at Acoustic Coffeehouse or somewhere like that. I'd like to one day be able to make a living off of music or basically any kind of creative act. I've just recently resolved to write a novel, so I've started that whole process, mainly just gathering notes and ideas together right now. What else am I doing with my life? I enjoy learning about our universe and how things work in it. I'd like to have as thorough a knowledge as possible of reality before I die.

I guess people also want to know what kind of job people have when they ask questions like this. So ah ... I work at a book store right now, so that's how some of my time is spent. I don't really consider it "what I'm doing with my life" because I certainly don't want to make a career out of it.

And things that other people tend to think are bizarre.

you have a desire to communicate or connect with someone in some capacity or another. Maybe we won't hit it off, but who cares? Reaching out to people seems like it has to be done at some point, right?
