Raging Lefty; Like if Noam Chomsky and Gore Vidal had a gay love child, I would have popped out, only to disappoint both of my parents as I'm not gay and only kind of smart (or not smart, and only kind of gay). As a result of being both intellectual and leftist, I see a lot of injustice and suffering in the world. But instead of letting it get me down and moping about it, I use it as motivation to keep working hard to try to make the world a bit better. Plus, there are some pockets of beautiful humanity out there that balance out the not-so-beautiful. The light in the darkness, darkness in the light kind of thing. I find humor in the darkness though, and I have a pretty twisted sense of humor. I often laugh when I shouldn't.

I found Buddhism to be the logical extrapolation of my understanding of quantum mechanics. Logical consistency is something I value greatly. But I'm not wholly left-brained; I appreciate the arts more than most.

I will eat that entire cake if I think no one is watching.

I'm an aspiring bicyclist, part time yoga-ist, recovering gamer, full time reader

School is my girlfriend, but we have a polyamorous relationship with Netflix

I volunteer when really I should be working, but I'm totally okay with being totally poor.

I think the "Personality" tab is inaccurate. Right now mine says I'm far less romantic, but I'm a flowers, candy, and a picnic date kind of guy.

If I could, I would rather ride my bike there.

Learning to do Social Work from the fine folks at FSU. I'm in undergrad right now, but I'm pretty sure I want to do my master's internship in a jail or prison.

Taking a lot of words and compressing them down into single words. I don't do it to be pretentious, I just think being concise is more effective.

Less abstract version:
Pens/Paper - I love writing and would never be caught dead without a notebook and some pens
My sister - is the best person I've ever known
Allergy meds - I'm allergic to anything with a proton
my car - Until I move someplace with plausible mass transit, I am beholden to my vehicle
sensory input - delicious foods, wonderful smells, a pleasant touch, intellectual stimulation; these are what make life worth living!
Abstract thought and logical extrapolation - there's some hard science out there that says my ability to think rationally and critically is a trait of liberal minds. I wouldn't want to be without my empathy.
