Hello there! I'm Harold and since my friends call me Raldy you can too.

I am just another curious soul on OKCupid. I studied neuroscience at UCLA, and I always love starting conversations that way because everyone inherently believes I am a genius after that, but alas, that is rather untrue. I got my ass kicked by my major and now I think physical therapy is a much more palatable route than medicine or research, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks who might think otherwise, and that is perfectly okay!

My hobbies consist of the occasional venture out to Planet Granite for some climbing or the even rarer backpacking occasion. For the moment, however, I am pretty much restricted to getting my ass into grad school... and enjoying the hell out of life when I do get a spare moment.

Working at a Physical Therapy clinic and taking classes to get into PT school

(Eventually) collecting enough climbing gear that I can go venture outdoors on my own

Awkward climbing routes
Playing with doggies
Decoding rap lyrics

I have this weird skin condition where my forehead turns into a giant ass cheek if you stare at it for really long....

Umm no I'm just kidding I think people generally notice my height, although I'm by no standard abnormally tall.

What I should be doing versus the most favorable distraction I can use to displace that current task

I don't think my Fridays are any more or less typical than the rest of the days of my week. I'd be studying, watching a movie, drinking at a bar or maybe at Planet Granite

I pulled a 2 week all nighter for my last set of finals during college... not my proudest moment

I have a soft spot for Taylor Swift?

if you find anything interesting about me or have any similar tastes
