I am a nerd, a dreamer, and damned talkative.
My Self-Summary
Don't you hate these questions? It's like when you apply for a job
and they ask you to "Tell them a little bit about yourself". Why
can't they just ask us something specific I mean how the hell was I
supposed to know that my 10 minute diatribe about cartoons and
their place in my life would make me "Unemployable" and "Scary"? Oh
well guess the student loan people won't be getting their money
this month either. Anyway, who am I? Well I guess you could
describe me as somewhat well read and nerdy, a bit of an
intellectual if you will, or at least I like to think of myself
that way. I am currently attending grad school at Purdue University
in the department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular
Pharmacology. I know it’s a mouth full but really I study Malaria
and complain about grad school. I love to talk about philosophy,
politics, art, movies hell you name it I like to talk. Politically
I am a quite Liberal and spend a good deal of time following the
news and such.
*Update*....damn...that doesn't look very manly...ummm UPDATE
(scratch...scratch...offensive comment about women folk and my need
for a good sammich)...I love that there is a goth singles website
because god knows misery loves company...company and the Sisters of
Mercy!!!
What I’m doing with my life
Grad school. Arrgh...So it turns out not knowing quite what you
want to do with your life can be a real pain in the "OWWWWW my ass"
sense....
I could only take that for so long apparently as I am now applying
to medical school. See it's not school that I dislike so much as it
is research.
I’m really good at
Listening, Talking, Drinking Heavily, Assorted Other Things... I
suck at spelling and punctuation...not that you asked. I can
probably solve your sudoku and I used to be pretty good at figuring
out middle names...
The first things people usually notice about me
Oddly enough people seem to like my hair, not sure if thats the
first thing they notice though. Generally they say things like,
"Hey you don't sound like you're from the south", or "Your silly",
and sometimes, "Geez you're smart"...I think it's the glasses and
"Ask me about my IQ" lapel pin

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Ideas for stories and movies...connections and metaphors
On a typical Friday night I am
Probably having a few...many...beers and watching Bill Mahr if he's
on...maybe "Whatever Martha"...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Ha yeah right.
You should message me if
You want someone to talk to. Really I like to talk about almost
anything. Also I am generally good for a laugh. So uhh message me
if you wanna talk and laugh ..i guess...Oh and I promise I won't
ask anything about your body or undergarments...but I will be
thinking about them...
