I am tiktaalik, confuciusornis, and rodhocetus.
My Self-Summary
hey there.
I'm friendly in a ridiculously awkward sort of way. Let's talk.
What I’m doing with my life
ehh. worrying. kvetching.
working on my BA at a sometimes painfully liberal-artsy university
which is overflowing with coked-up hipsters. thinking about
transferring and going to school somewhere else/focusing on
something more sciencey, but will probably be too lazy to ever do
so.
being more paranoid than necessary, alternating belief between a
whole variety of silly conspiracy theories, wishing someone would
capture a yeti already, and being mean to over-religious people for
not being rational enough. it's a pretty great way to live.
The first things people usually notice about me
at this point, probably my silly haircut. I refuse to regret it.

I have a (probably vastly overblown) appreciation of food of all
sorts. I like street food and sketchy restaurants.
The six things I could never do without
spending time in third world countries teaches you that you can do
without pretty much anything.
however a notebook, an ipod, and a constantly rotating roster of
books generally go with me everywhere.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Factories, revolution, humanitarian architecture, oceans,
distortion, deserted places, evolutionary biology, radical social
change, bee disappearances, sunlight, toxic events, windmills,
deserts, the south bronx, drugs, paranoia, sustainability,
globalization, farming, prehistoric animals, getting my shit
together.
On a typical Friday night I am
probably not doing anything very useful.
(perfect night: 40ounce, weed, violent punk show, mdma, hippie
bullshit. in that order obviously.)
You should message me if
you can never think of anything to do but are usually satisfied
with wandering around, halfway-watching weird movies, and having
nonsensical conversations. (my average day, summed up.)
or if you're really good at thinking of things to do, which would
be a nice change of pace, I suppose.
if you just want to talk.
