Some things you might want to know:

I'd like to think I've got a pretty 'normal' personality - if I didn't go to a Jesuit school, I'd probably be in a frat. I'm outgoing and like having fun and being funny/stupid, but not in a bad or offensive way (I hope). I'm straightforward and don't try or pretend to be overly complex or "deep". It's not that I dislike having intellectual conversations - I've just run into too many kids who do so/force them nonstop... there's a time and place for everything (and while it's always a good time to laugh, discussing the nuances of health care reform over Busch Lite annoys me).

I try to be nice to everyone, including people I don't like. I naturally give people the benefit of the doubt and find it ALMOST impossible to dislike anyone who is nice, even if I don't want to actually be the one hanging out with them. I almost never get angry.

I'm a closet dork and like learning stuff in my free time (examples include politics, psychology, culture, and media/marketing stuff), but I'm far from super-intellectual. If you give me a (good) nonfiction book on some random topic, there's a solid choice I'll find it interesting. I do not, however, enjoy being forced to learn stuff. I read the Economist and agree with the opinions therein around 90% of the time.

In the past 2 years I've lived in the US, Ecuador, Spain, and India, and it was really, really sweet. I plan on traveling more when I have the $$ to do so. Hopefully going to China for 2 weeks over Spring break (it's OK to be jealous).

I admit that I think a night spent watching movies and cuddling is more enjoyable than a night out drinking heavily, and I am sorta proud of it (but you probably would not guess this if you met me).

And I'm unique just like everybody.

Got a job at Google, so moving out to San Francisco August-ish. Win me over and maybe you can come, too. :)

Being myself. Not bragging. Research papers. Screwing around. Cuddling. And FIFA.

I am funny?

Books: Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, John Irving, and lots of other stuff (I read the Economist/NY Times, if you're a neocon we might not jive)
Movies: American Beauty, A Beautiful Mind, City of God, Traffic, Fight Club, Snatch, Old School, Layer Cake, Anchorman, Superbad, documentaries... but I'll watch almost anything
Music: anything good... depends on my mood. lots of electronic stuff (i.e. techno/trip hop) and Pandora is great
Food: sushi, steak, ice cream. and ethnic food. trader joes microwaveable food is pretty solid as well

Food, water, shelter, love, friends, family, a plan, childlike humor

My new job, at least for now

Bro-ing out and all night ragers

I totally just made a blog...

You're not mean, you're open-minded, you've got something going for yourself (whatever that might be), and you want to.
