I am pensive, an extremist, and kinda funny.
My Self-Summary
Every day, I waver between the opposing extremes of my
light-hearted goofiness and existential crisis. I suppose that may
be somewhat typical of being 24? I probably shouldn't mention it's
been a staple of my personality since infancy. Haha. Is that a good
"self summary?"
From Michigan, college in Boston, been in NYC for two years. I love
New York even more than I ever anticipated I could. The past two
years have been extremely insane, filled with a lot of indecision
and confusion, but I've learned a ton and am really happy and
excited with where I am and where I'm going at this point.
I'm also a middle child. Take that as you will.
I thought "Twelfth Night" in the park was amazing this summer. If
you did too, we'll get along just fine.
What I’m doing with my life
Working, interning, exploring and learning. I have an ominous
degree in theater, and am figuring out how that fits into the
world.
I'm perpetually in the middle of reading several books.
I’m really good at
-overanalyzing
-thinking
-being super busy or extremely still
-drinking unhealthy amounts of coffee
-waking up early and surviving on minimal sleep
The first things people usually notice about me
Probably that I'm doing something embarrassing.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, The Fountainhead, The
Things They Carried, Ishmael, The Elegant Universe
Movies: The Hours, Little Miss Sunshine, Contact, I Heart
Huckabees
Music: Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Ben Sollee,
James Brown, Coldplay, and a whole mess of other stuff
Food: Everything. Except Indian food. Not into curry.
The six things I could never do without
-Manhattan (I never want to leave)
-A gym (I'm not totally narcissistic, but it keeps me sane)
-Great art
-My family and friends
-Hope
-Second chances
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The future, money, ultimate truth, Manhattan apartments, meaning...
On a typical Friday night I am
Working or hanging out with friends.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm a really good mistake-maker. But I'm almost equally good at
dealing with the consequences, which I think is redeeming.
You should message me if
you're cute, real, fun and have more than one layer.
