My self-summary
Grad student at Purdue. I'm excited about my field of study.

Misc. thoughts:
Whatever you read below is by no means a comprehensive summary. I was once described as someone with many facets.
Sometimes it's difficult to address them all sufficiently well.

I have to be able to trust someone at least to their level of contribution to my life (see journal if you don't get it).

I think it's nice to be able to laugh at yourself from time to time.
I like to think, occasionally I fall victim to over-analyzing stuff, though this happens less and less as I get older.

Other thoughts:
I love the outdoors (where you can get away from noisy people) beginning to dabble in photography because I wanna capture all the beautiful things that I see.

I feel best when I'm in good physical condition. It could be because my drug of choice is vertical sports (skiing, rock climbing, alpine climbing, mountaineering). I find most of my peace outdoors. But watching movies and hanging out is awesome too. It think it's not about what you're doing, it's who you do it with.
Some of the most relaxing times is hanging out with my best friends at a club listening and feeling really good trance and house music. Some of the best stuff in the world is cooking meat over a fire pit and then eating it with your friends. Or going to get sushi and sake, and then going out till 5 am can make a good Saturday night.

I try to have a live and let live attitude - I think that works well for me.

I make it a point to not be around judgmental, closed-minded people and those that try to push their beliefs and values onto others. I don't judge them, but I do my best not to associate with them socially.

I get along best with people who are capable of abstract thought. On the other hand, my best friend is anything but.

I think beauty is all around us, in seemingly mundane things; and we don't notice it because we got too much noise in our heads and are too bogged down by the rat race.

It's good to sometimes stop, lift your head, close your eyes take two deep breaths and open your eyes. Chances are you might see something from a different perspective.

On occasion I like to go to museums and look at something that speaks to me. I'm not sure how I feel about pieces that can't answer the (in my opinion) fundamental question of "What are you trying to tell me?" The same things about performance art.

Harmony is important in life, no matter where you find it.

I am deliberate, adventurous, and curious

The first things people usually notice about me
That I dispense with small talk fairly quickly. Most times such conversation is arbitrary and not necessary.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Books that engage my curiosity and hint at fundamental truths of life. Some of those are books by Frank Herbert and Ursula Le Guin. Music that engages me physically and emotionally. I love just about any food that is well prepared. I like to have a symphony of textures, smells, and temperatures in my mouth...There! :)

I spend a lot of time thinking about
My life and where I'm taking it. Proverbs have a lot of truth in them. Why can we be so objective and perceptive when it comes to other people's lives but not our own?
