I am engaging, determined, and relaxed.
My Self-Summary
It's one of the most profoundly difficult things in the world to
encapsulate the whole of your personality in a short summary for
strangers to read, so I don't know that I'm going to try
particularly hard.
What I’m doing with my life
I have three semesters left of my undergrad and I am all sorts of
ready to be done and be, like, a real adult.
I’m really good at
watching TV, being a mallrat, competitive debate, the culinary
arts, keeping things in perspective, keeping things light, being
cuddly.
The first things people usually notice about me
My internal censor doesn't work particularly well.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, The Great Gatsby, The Sun
Also Rises, The Razor's Edge, Harry Potter (3-7-6-5-4-1-2)
Movies: Return of the Jedi, Garden State, Moulin Rouge, Chasing
Amy, The Shawshank Redemption, Major League, Zoolander...I have a
giant pile of DVDs.
Food: Love, love, love fine dining and love to cook. I'm open to
any and everything. My favorite restaurant in the area is probably
1111 Mississippi. I love Indian food, Thai food, Mexican food if
it's somewhat authentic and cheap margaritas are involved.
Music: I figure I'll do this nontraditionally, because I always
feel like I'm leaving bands out. So, my top 15 most listened to
songs on iTunes are -
15. "Sleazy Wednesday" by Jack's Mannequin
14. "Kill The Messenger (acoustic)" by Jack's Mannequin
13. "Ba Ba Ba (live)" by Fun
12. "Dog Problems" by The Format
11. "She Doesn't Get It" by The Format
10. "Cape Canaveral" by Conor Oberst
9. "Crack The Shutters" by Snow Patrol
8. "Dear Jack (live)" by Jack's Mannequin
7. "A Day In The Life" by The Beatles
6. "Sunday Best" by Augustana
5. "Cell Phone" by Jack's Mannequin
4. "Hey Hey We're All Gonna Die (live)" by Jack's Mannequin
3. "Doris Day" by Jack's Mannequin
2. "Piano Man" as played by Andrew McMahon
1. "The Gambler (live)" by Fun
The six things I could never do without
1. MacBook
2. iPod
3. The St. Louis Cardinals
4. The St. Louis Blues
5. My cousins
6. Oxygen
I spend a lot of time thinking about
the best ways to pass the time, who's going to play second or the
Cardinals, what restaurants I haven't tried yet, what movies I
haven't seen, and what nonsense I can get myself in to.
On a typical Friday night I am
at either Houlihan's, Laredo or Shogun eating and drinking, and
then at my friend's apartment for shenaniganry and Rock Band.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I can lick my own elbow.
You should message me if
you would like me to say hello.
