My Self-Summary

I'm a computer programmer who just moved back to Waterloo after spending two years working in Toronto. I did my undergrad and masters here, and it almost feels like I never left. I appreciate (and occasionally revel in) the absurd side of life. I like hanging out with my friends and playing team sports, but also often enjoy spending a night home by myself.

What I’m doing with my life

Currently working at a new job that I'm enjoying. It's important to me to have a job that I like and that challenges me, but I don't want to work long hours or take my work home with me. I value my free time very highly.

I’m really good at

Well, not filling out profiles about myself.
I have a good grasp of politics and world issues, since I'm addicted to the news (but only in the written form; I can't stand to watch the news). I have little natural athletic ability, but enjoy playing sports regardless and have gained some skill at soccer, floor hockey, ultimate frisbee, basketball, and badminton.

The first things people usually notice about me

It depends on the situation. Sometimes it's that I'm asking many, many questions and other times it's that I'm being very quiet.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Favourite books: The Great Gatsby, The English Patient, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, The Chess Garden, Microserfs. I'm an avid reader and could list many more favourites. I have a particular interest in books that are somewhat surreal; hence my love of Italo Calvino's books.

Music: Mostly indie rock, pop, and folk. My music tends to be obscure and very weird.

Movies: I like a lot of independent films and like mainstream films less than the average person. I put a lot of time into finding out about unusual films which intrigue me ( I tend to look for new music, books, and tv shows in the same manner).

Food: I used to be very picky but now I like a wide variety of food and am willing to try pretty much everything once.

The six things I could never do without

Friends, a book to read, an internet connection, a good night's sleep, and breakfast.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Many many things. How the human mind works, politics and current events, why I love the books, tv shows, and video games I love. Given a spare moment I'll probably start pondering something, even if it's just when you should clean the lint trap in a drier (I'm convinced that everyone should only clean it before you use the drier, not afterward)

On a typical Friday night I am

At home relaxing. I often don't make plans for a Friday night, but if my friends propose something, I'm there.

You should message me if
