I am an English major, and that's a good indicator of what I am all about. I spend a lot of time reading and writing.
I really like to create things.
I'm interested in environmental issues, but I wouldn't consider myself an activist. I really appreciate nature and have a good relationship with it. I am a big advocate for organic farming and Community-Supported-Agriculture.

I'm an INFP (introverted, intuitive, feeling, perceiving). That seems accurate though I dont put too much faith in these things.

I am thinking that this profile is making me sound far more serious than I actually am....in fact, I am pretty much the opposite of stern. I don't take myself seriously, and neither should you.

"Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself - I am large, I contain multitudes."

Trying to figure out what I can do for the rest of my life without getting bored or losing my mind.

I work at Barnes & Noble, and I think its a good job for now.

I am always writing poetry. I am in a workshop for it and it consumes a lot of my time....you might often see me scribble something in a notebook like the uber-artiste that I am...that's right, I'm pretentious.

I am in my third year of college, I spent the first two at a small private university in the middle of nowhere, and I now attend Stony Brook University.

Sometimes I have ideas. Sometimes they are good ones...the rest are debatably sane.

being on time. Attempting to be a good cook. Understanding correct grammar but choosing to ignore it most of the time...
I'm good at not making up my mind about things. Drives some people crazy, but I like to think I just take more time to consider everything (read: I am indecisive).

My glasses, my height, my gregarious nature.

Books: okay, I'm going to have to break this into two categories-

prose: One excellent book is Drop City by T.C. Boyle.....then there are Kurt Vonnegut, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Camus, Edward Abbey, Jonathan Safran Foer, Lao Tzu, Kerouac, Langston Hughes...a great one I read recently was Rue du Retour by Abdellatif Laabi

poetry: Allen Ginsberg, Ezra Pound, Yusef Komunyakaa, Wallace Stevens, Henri Cole, Hart Crane, and numerous others. I will add Sharon Olds to this list now, and Louise Gluck.

Movies: Koyaanisqatsi and Apocalypse Now. Waking Life. Wes Anderson. Woody Allen. Coen Brothers, PT Anderson, yeah. One movie that I think is extremely underrated is Better Off Dead...

Music: I've been really into old-timey jazz/blues and surf music lately. In particular Robert Johnson and stuff like The Coasters, Link Wray, etc. Apart from my latest interests I like The Doors, The Beatles, Janis, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Aesop Rock, India Arie, Against Me!, Neil Young, Nick Cave, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Lauryn Hill, The Shins, Alanis, Bedouin Soundclash, the Mars Volta, At the Drive In, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Noise On Vinyl, The Waifs, The Zombies, The Postal Service....yeah

Food: I dont think I really have a favorite food...I like exploration. I really want to do a tour of NYC restaurants now that I have moved close enough...maybe when I get money someday...

books, human interaction, my amazing niece, music, a sense of humor, and people with imagination.

I dont know. I try to be a laid back person. It takes a lot to make me upset. I think about the future a lot and whether I am making decisions that will keep me happy...typical things, I guess. I am also an observer...I mean, I can't help but analyze people. Not in a negative way, I'm just interested in why people do the things they do.

To be honest I have a kind of frenetic brain and it wanders off in all different directions so there's always something on my mind but its rarely the same thing I was thinking about two minutes ago...

Lately? Working, doing a lot of nothing. Someone show me some things to do! I have yet to really explore whats around me...I've pretty much mastered the Suffolk County bus lines though.

I prefer shindigs to parties. I like just hanging out with a handful of good people and talking nonsense. I like crazy spontaneous trips and activities.

I like wine.

I like excuses to take the train into the city.

Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall
She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
And she is dying piece-meal
of a sort of emotional anaemia.

And round about there is a rabble
Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor.
They shall inherit the earth.

In her is the end of breeding.
Her boredom is exquisite and excessive.
She would like someone to speak to her,
And is almost afraid that I
will commit that indiscretion.

-Ezra Pound

You feel like you share some interests with me. Or if you just feel like it.

If you live near me and want to show me some good places to hike.

If you want to just wander around and do nothing together, I'm cool with that too. As long as you are interesting. You must be interesting.

If you are smart as a whip with razor-sharp wit.
