I am bright, embarrassed, and uncertain.

My Self-Summary

I am well-aware of my intellectual snobbery. To some degree it is an amusing pose, but it would be dishonest to deny that some is real. I love film, literature, music, philosophy, science and theology. I do not love parties, and I should not love alcohol - but I am somewhat fond of it nonetheless. I am psychotically hostile to smoking. You'd have to know me better to know whether I have any other psychoses.

What I’m doing with my life

growing older without getting much wisdom

I’m really good at

speaking convincingly about subjects beyond my expertise.

discussing Chinese and Japanese film (this is not entirely beyond my expertise, see above).

remembering my dreams.

extraordinarily good long term memory, but erratic short term. (I am terrible at memorization, but excellent at recalling whatever has finally sifted down to my long term memory banks.)

The first things people usually notice about me

my voice: Many say it is pleasant, but when I hear a recording of myself I think I sound affected and smug. I am from Maryland, but my accent is harder to place - Mid-Atlantic, perhaps, but certainly not Baltimore. I was extremely tall for my age until junior high school, but a lot of people caught up with me after that, so I don't stand out that way as an adult. I haven't lost any of my hair, but it's just now starting to gray (except for my beard, which went white several years ago). I can be very clever with friends, but appear rather shy with new people.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books/ the works of Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Henry James and William Faulkner. Movies/ the works of Masaki Kobayashi, Akira Kurosawa, Chang Cheh and Lau Kar-leung. Music/ classical, blues and jazz Food/ Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Thai.

The six things I could never do without

1. eyeglasses 2. books 3. dvds 4. music 5. asian food 6. conversation

I spend a lot of time thinking about

those failings I have best concealed from others.

On a typical Friday night I am

reading or watching a film - mostly on DVD. My collection is excessively large, but not full of popular hits.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

that I am a rather private person.

You should message me if

you don't mind not receiving a response. I use OKC almost exclusively for the tests, and am not looking for love.
