I am extemporaneous, jubilant, and quirky.
My Self-Summary
I'm terrible at these things but I'll give it a shot. I love
politics - I think following them with the media is the best
reality TV. Seriously, you can't make things up better than
evangelical leaders getting caught doing meth with male prostitutes
in a secret effort to divorce their wife (I'm looking at you, Ted).
Or when congressmen are debating on the house floor, and people
like Alan Grayson say things such as "Republicans want you to die
quickly" or call an Enron lobbyist a K-Street whore. I also got to
meet Bill Clinton, hug Hillary, shake Al's hand, and grimace at GW
once.
When I'm not working, I'm trying to figure out where to go next - I
love to travel. Currently in the mix is Canada and Central America
- but I've been to Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Mexico, Dubai, and Abu
Dhabi. Although, i've found it difficult to travel out of school. I
mean - as a student you can get money to do these things .... but
my employer is less inclined to let me live in a foreign country
for 6 months on account of "broadening my horizons".
Lets see if I can think of some more cliches. I like movies,
reading, and all that stuff. Going out is fun occasionally - and
people are especially in luck when they see me at a club since it's
like a free comedy show. Knowing that my dancing in clubs sucks
(i'll blame it on the inebriation), I've tried my hand at Swing
dancing. I'd love to pick it back up again, and try some lessons at
Salsa Noche - but none of my friends are cool enough to come with
me!
I'm a pretty particular person as well. I've been through enough
relationships to at least have a pretty good idea of what I want.
I'm definitely not a pushover, and some people might say I'm an
ass. I think it's because I typically either get along great with
somebody, or they absolutely loathe me. But I'm a strong believer
that looking out for you and your own isn't a bad trait, and going
after what you want isn't rude - its ambitious (Thats the Ayn Rand
in me I guess). That being said, if we get along .... well then
great! If not - don't take it personally.
What I’m doing with my life
Working, saving up money, and kicking myself in the ass to start
studying for the LSAT.
I’m really good at
Laughing at myself, guitar hero (I **almost** got through Fire and
Flames on expert once!), making martini's (Dirty Stoli up), making
actually palatable drinks when there's only a medley of
disconcerted liquor left, using big words that I don't understand
but convincing others I do... the list goes on.
The first things people usually notice about me
I have no idea.... maybe boisterous comments? My nose? Some people
have even said I remind them of Jim from The Office - but those
people are racist. Apparently all Polish people look the same to
them.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Favorite books would include The Stranger, Catch-22, Atlas
Shrugged, Brave New World, 1984, Beneath the Wheel, Michael
Crichton novels, Neuro Mancer, pretty much most stuff by Lermentov,
Dan Brown stuff, Michael Crichton stuff, Siddhartha, random
educational books on everything from number theory to
neurology.
Favorite movies/TV would be Back to the Future trilogy, Indiana
Jones trilogy, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Serenity, Man with No Name
trilogy, Firefly, True Blood, Venture Brothers, ATHF,
Sealab...
Favorite music - I love progressive trance, Oakenfold, Digweed, DJ
Spooky, Prodigy, as well as hip-hop from the 90s (Del the Funky
Homosapien, Tribe Called Quest, Souls of Mischief, Kool Keith,),
Punk from the 90s (NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Anti-Flag), some
metal, and obscure eastern-european pop music.
The food I love is a fantastic chimichanga, and Hy-Vee salad bar
(They have all-you-can-eat cheesecake dessert!)
The six things I could never do without
In no particular order...
1.) Oxygen
2.) Wine
3.) Friends (As you can see from my profile picture - love them
all)
4.) Crazy cat pictures on the internet (not sure how people worked
an 8 hour day before those)
5.) Living in some kind of populated area
6.) Food! Good food - not the crappy food.
On a typical Friday night I am
Not at home. Usually I am anywhere but home.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am currently in a wine club because one day, I want to walk into
a posh french restaurant and order an expensive bottle of wine.
When the waiter asks if the wine is acceptable - I spit it out and
curse the Sommelier in French, while waving my hands like an angry
Italian. I then proceed to demand free dinner and a bottle of
Cristal, on account of them trying to desecrate my palate.
You should message me if
Well you've made it this far. Message me if you found it mildly
entertaining, or you have a sense of humor and can joke about
yourself - and at the same time realize that I'm a very sarcastic
person.
I'm not looking for someone immature who likes to party all the
time and expects somebody to take them shopping for Gucci bags and
buy them worthless crap. Also, if you tend to get loaded on the
first date and vomit in your ride's car, please look elsewhere. If
you get loaded on the first date and can actually hold your liquor
- bonus points. In general, if you're not like the aforementioned
person, and have a job (any job really - just not a freeloader),
don't live with your parents, and can hold intelligent and funny
conversation about things we have in common, or enlighten me about
something new, or about anything interesting, then by all means; I
await your reply.
