I am soft-spoken, sharp-witted, and hyphenated.
My Self-Summary
I've finally moved out of the suburbs and into the city! I'm
looking to meet some new people to go with the new address.
Friendship or something more, either way is cool. I'm always
looking for people to go to shows with. Most of my friends are
either homebodies or are cool people but just don't have similar
tastes in music. Help me out.
What I’m doing with my life
I finished grad school about a year ago, but now I'm not so sure I
want to work in the field I went to grad school for. Whoops. In the
meantime I'm working retail, and considering another round of
school.
I’m really good at
Trivia. I'll take on anyone at Jeopardy.
Other than that, I think I'm a pretty good listener. I love to hear
what other people have to say about all sorts of topics. (I'm a bit
quiet myself, but the right people can get me to speak up.)
The first things people usually notice about me
I tend to grin a lot I hear. I also have really squinty eyes when I
smile.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: The Great Gatsby, The Devil in the White City, In Cold
Blood, Cat's Cradle, Watchmen, Maus The Dark Knight Returns and
plenty of other assorted comics.
Movies: Most comic book movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind, The Squid and the Whale, the original Star Wars Trilogy,
There Will Be Blood, Capote, Anchorman, L.A. Confidential, many
others that I can't think of right now.
Music: Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Radiohead, Iron & Wine,
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Vampire Weekend, Flight of the Conchords,
Gorillaz, The Streets, Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes, She and Him,
The New Pornographers, Architecture in Helsinki
Food: Unhealthy Chicago-style fare, sushi, baked goods.
The six things I could never do without
Friends + Fam
CTA/bike
News
Internet connection for acquiring said news.
Caffeine (usually in the form of cheap coffee or diet pop).
A little slice of peace and quiet at some point in my day.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Politics, the direction I'm going in life.
On a typical Friday night I am
Out on the town, over at a friends for movies, board games, etc.,
or in watching the Soup.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Just ask, I'm pretty open about most things.
