Hey, I'm Nick. I'm 21, a college student, and I live in downtown Salt Lake. I love Salt Lake City, but I try not to go south of 3300 unless it's for work or a soccer game, because I lived in Sandy growing up and that's enough of the suburbs to last me a lifetime. I don't take most things very seriously, but I pride myself on standing by my word and being loyal to my friends, my family, and my partner, and I expect the same out of the people I date. I like going to the bar on weekends, but I don't care for clubs, mostly because in all the times I've been to one I don't think I've ever heard good music. I love travel, even though I usually can't afford it--I went to Europe on student loans a couple of times in the last year and a half, and it was worth the money I'll be paying back for the next decade. I probably spend too much time on the computer, but on the plus side I'm pretty good at fixing them. I'm both a liberal and a gun nut (or "firearms enthusiast" if you prefer). I have a tendency to rant. I probably swear excessively, although I can put a lid on it when need be. Most days I wear jeans and a t-shirt, but I look damn good in a suit, so that's fun sometimes. I'm not big on one-night stands, but I'm also not looking to get married anytime soon--it weirds me out a bit to go to a class filled with people my age and realize that 3/4 of the people there are married or engaged. I'm attempting to teach myself to cook, even though it sometimes turns out kind of disastrously and I have to throw everything out and make a sandwich instead. But hey.

Anything else you want to know, just ask.

Also, the thing down at the bottom says I'm apparently "Less Romantic," but that's actually a load of crap. I really enjoy candlelit dinners, cuddling, buying girls flowers, etc. I know it's mostly cheesy cliches, but sometimes cheesy cliches can be a lot of fun.

Currently majoring in political science at the U, and working part-time building computers. I also have a bullshit job where I quite literally get paid to do nothing, it's pretty sweet. I'm considering going to law school, I'd like to focus on constitutional law more than anything.

Staying up way too late, buying lots of books, sleeping in on weekends, traveling as much as possible, drinking lots of beer at soccer games, reading funny websites, procrastinating, and arguing on the internet.

I'm 6'6". And no, I don't play basketball--I pretty much suck at every sport known to man.

Books: The Importance of Being Earnest, Dune, Brave New World, Female Chauvinist Pigs, Freakonomics, pretty much anything by Shakespeare (except Romeo and Juliet, never really liked that one), various non-fiction.

Movies: The Boondock Saints, Green Street Hooligans, V For Vendetta, Die Hard, Clerks, Wayne's World, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Shooter. Comedies and mindless action movies for the most part.

Music: Too much to list. I like punk (Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, the Clash), ska (Desmond Dekker, the Selecter, Less Than Jake), Oi (Sham 69, Last Resort, Combat 84), hip-hop (the Coup, Dead Prez, Public Enemy), classic rock (CCR, Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead), classical, occasional techno, Johnny Cash.

Food: I'll eat pretty much anything, but I like going out and trying new stuff.

Books, computer, music, phone, friends, family.

Travel, politics, school, whether or not RSL will make the playoffs this year.

With a few friends at someone's apartment or at a bar, hanging out and having a couple beers.

If I'm by myself in an elevator sometimes I do a little dance to the muzak.

We have something in common.
