I am an introvert. Don't get me wrong, though -- I'm a balanced person that functions well in social settings. I just happen to do my best work when I'm alone. I would say that the only thing that sets me apart from anyone else is a healthy respect for personal space and maybe a little bit of ADD. Lately, though, I've noticed that all of this being alone is making me lonely. That's not cool.

Generally speaking, I have a lot of faith in the Myers-Briggs personality types. Multiple tests have told me that I'm either an INTJ or an INFJ: both ambitious, self-confident, deliberate, long-range thinkers. If this interests you, Google it! It fits me pretty much perfectly and can be really useful when trying to understand how a person operates.

I'm commuting to West Chester University every day so that I can finish my Bachelor's degree post-haste. I plan on going to Graduate School for either psychology or law, and an asinine part of me actually thinks it would be fun to get a PhD. I have worked in a veterinary emergency room for the last three years, and I like it very much despite the fact that I never (EVER) want to be a veterinarian.

It is very easy for me to feel like I'm stagnating, so I need a job that really challenges me and makes me think. Quality of life is more important to me than salary, but I would like to build my own house one day (maybe an Earthship-type thing so there won't be any utility bills).

I recently read some things about handwriting analysis, and have turned it into one of my favorite hobbies. I'm in the process of writing a proposal to see if a professor would be willing to supervise me doing my own research on the topic. I think that it is incredibly accurate, and if nothing else, it makes a great party trick!

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. Therefore, it stands to reason that any list of my favorite books would be way too long to actually include here. The Bell Jar by Silvia Plath is my favorite book of the moment. I'm also a huge Anne Rice fan, although she did turn into a religious freak not too long ago.

As much as I love watching movies, I haven't seen most of the movies that everyone else in the world has seen (such as Rocky or the Godfather). Basically, this means that I suck at recognizing pop culture references. Ebay and cheap used movies from the mall are helping me remedy the situation, but it's a process. I really like thought-provoking movies like Schindler's List, Silkwood, and V for Vendetta. I also love movies with lots of gratuitous violence, like Resident Evil and Underworld series.

Music kind of goes hand-in-hand with my literary tastes; listing everything I enjoy would be impossible. Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and the Rolling Stones are on the classic rock end of the spectrum. Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLachlan, Sinead O'Connor, and Traci Chapman are on the other. Vampire Weekend, Flogging Molly, and their alternative music contemporaries are somewhere in the middle.

Food is important to me, but not as much as the rest of what I just wrote about. Depending on my mood I literally like everything except pork and fish. Even that changes, but I feel that if you really care about my eating habits, you'll send me a message.

1) The ability to read
2) Books.
3) The ability to hear
4) Lady Gaga.
5) The ability to drink
6) Tea.

I like to spend hours and hours trying to figure out how people think. Because people are really fucked up, you know?

Working all night. I do overnight shifts because there is a really nice pay incentive to do so, meaning I only really need to do one per week (leaving the rest of my weekend open). Sometimes I pick up extra hours in a futile attempt at saving some money, but I usually just bum around with my friends.

I have a very serious fear of life being mundane and boring, so I spend a lot of time daydreaming about what it would be like if I lived in a Quentin Terantino movie or an Anne Rice novel. That's not all that private, though; the part that is private and makes me look like a huge freak of nature is that I actually teach myself the skills I think would be necessary to survive in such a fantasy world. I've taught myself to pick locks, throw knives, analyze handwriting, and a number of other fun and interesting things. While I'm actually quite sane and don't utilize these skills in everyday life, knowing that I can if I have to makes me feel moderately awesome. Besides, if I got a job with the FBI, they wouldn't have to train me very much. Then, when the zombie apocalypse hits on the winter solstice of 2012, I'll be ready to fight my way out as one of the lone survivors.

you want to meet someone as blindingly awesome as I am. Just don't forget to bring a good pair of sunglasses ;)
