I am skeptical, curious, and down.
My Self-Summary
I make an effort to not take myself too seriously and be foolish
and young--wasted too many years being an overly serious kid. That
said, most would probably say that I don't get into any real
trouble, and am more mature than my age. My mom is convinced I'm an
"old soul"--since I don't believe in souls, I'm not sure exactly
what that means.
My friends think I'm very funny.
I think human beings are social animals, and that loved ones and
hanging out should always be a high priority.
And I love Ultimate.
What I’m doing with my life
9-5in', puddle dodging, friend recruiting.
As for career goals and big picture stuff--I'm taking life as it
comes, grad school isn't out of the question, and I might like to
go to law school someday, or even become a doctor of philosophy in
philosophy, but right now I just want to take some time to live a
fairly simple life and log some life experience.
I really wish I were spending more time outside--I'm dying to go
for a good hike and/or camping.
I’m really good at
Logic
Empathy
Wit
Being messy
Traveling
Stir Fry
Reading people and situations
Being game
Beer Pong
Flip Cup
Not so good at:
Neatness
Rising early
Singing

The first things people usually notice about me
When I was about 15, an old man in West Virginia told me my

The six things I could never do without
In increasingly facetious order:
Friends
Ability to Read
Passport
Beer and Reefer*
Rice
Internet*
*I have done without these things, I didn't die.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how to build a life here, ethnographies, humor, food, gender,
sexuality, sustainability, priorities, standards of pathology,
friends elsewhere, traveling, missing school.
Remember when OKC "visitors" were called "stalkers"? -- I miss the
honesty.
On a typical Friday night I am
watching Boy Meets World and Hangin' With Mr Cooper.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My first compact disc as a child was Brian White-- I wasn't even
cool enough to own an Ace of Base tape.
