For someone who loves to write, I find producing a self-summary pretty difficult. It always sounds so self serving. So I will just say that I am a graduate student at UVA, working towards my Ph. D. I think its important to both work hard and play hard. Life is too short to spend it working all the time, and playing around all the time leaves you floundering in life. I like to just have fun where I can, and learn as much as I can, so someday I can help give something back to the world.

I just entered the University of Virginia as a graduate student. Outside of this, though, I am spending most of my time trying to get back into a few hobbies of mine. Mostly Martial Arts, Writing, Video Games, and Cooking. (Someday I will open a bakery, or so I like to think.)

enjoying life in whatever way I can. Letting myself get bogged down by whatever negative things life brings me takes too much away from life.

Not sure. I'm not a mind reader, sadly.

Books: I love reading, so I have a lot of favorites. And even though I don't like his books now, Tolkien was what got my started on my bibliophilia, so go Hobbits!

Movies: Lord of the Rings. The music rocks, and it has that fantasy feel to it.

Music: Eclectic. About the only genres I don't like are rap and country. My play list will cycle through most everything, from Trance, to Rock, and even as far as Gregorian Chants. Music is part of what makes life great, and variety is a must for me.

Food: I will cook/try a lot of different things. Some strange stuff has made it to my stomach.

Books, Intelligent Conversation, Activity (Anything, Martial Arts, Skydiving, etc. so long as I can do something interesting with my time), Good Food, Friends, and Imagination.

What ifs. I love imagining what I could do if only something weird were about to happen.

Science. I like science. It's like I'm slowly taking in the secrets of the Universe into my head.

most likely I am studying, but if I have the time, I try to spend Friday nights with my friends. That, or reading a book at home to unwind.

I am a freak when it comes to spicy food. I enjoy putting ghost peppers in my dishes (Hottest natural pepper in the world). The jury is still out whether I am part bird or not.

you feel the urge to do so. I am always willing to make new friends.
