I can't swim. There, my worst flaw is out of my system and I get to breathe a sigh of relief.

Besides my aquatic limitations, I'm a good guy. It's a mission of mine to meet people that I wouldn't normally know; to break outside of my comfort zone. Establishing new connections and experiencing new things is really the most important thing in my life. I don't want to be stagnant and boring. We have decades to do that, why worry about recklessness now?

I consider myself agnostic, even if doing so feels wishy-washy. It's hard to swallow biblical stories as concrete truth, but relying on science and facts is too logical and cold to me.

From 2nd to 9th grade I took kung-fu and karate lessons, but most of it has been forgotten. If a mugger attacked you five years ago or so, I could have totally made impressive yet useless arm motions.

I am currently seeing someone, but I'm always down for a spiced pumpkin latte (hooray for autumn!).

Feeling things out. Putting anything more specific would be a gross exaggeration.

I recently returned from a self-sufficiency project in the jungle. I had no interest or knowledge of self-sufficient living, but damn if it didn't sound better than getting a summer job and blowing my money going out with my friends. All in all it was a great time; I learned a ton and gained new skills (now I can use a chainsaw, raise chickens, grow vegetables, etc). Based on how amazing that experience was, I may only do half a year of school then fly out and do something similar. WWOOF, Peace Corps, couch surfing...who knows. The world is my oyster.

Being a good friend. I know that sounds like a gimme, but deep down, I really do feel that any of my friends could come to me if they had a problem or just needed someone to talk to. I value my friends above most everything; if all I ever do is be as great to them as they are to me, I'll be happy.

I have a pretty infectious laugh. Many a test in high school I didn't complete because I started cracking up at nothing in particular and was sent outside. I just laugh a lot.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, A Long Way Down, and The White Boy Shuffle come to mind. There's more, but lists suck.

As cool as it is for people to name every obscure indie band from wherever is, my favorite bands would have to be either Weezer or Cake. Do I listen to "better" music then that? Of course, but they resonate with me moreso than anything else. Girl Talk and Ratatat are pretty good too.

I like sushi. And Humboldt Fog is the best cheese ever.

Public transportation, emulators, living near the ocean, friends, Indian food, concerts, and adventure.

Yea, that's 7 and not 6, you'll learn to forgive me someday.

where I'm headed, how I'll get there, and how much cool stuff I can do along the way.

watching cheesy action movies with my friends or watching a "good" movie without them. That or seeing an artist live. Concerts are one of those things that I enjoy everything about: the heat, cramped quarters, stale air, loudness, showmanship, and vibe. Everything about a concert to me is kickass.

In elementary school I had a mullet. Dark days those were...

you like the cut of my jib.
