My self-summary
About me: I'm reserved, thoughtful, easy-going and open-minded.
I guess I'm pretty laid-back and self-effacing generally -- but I do have a certain ambitious, competitive side that seems to come out in certain contexts. I'll point out here that I'm also admittedly indecisive; thankfully, my most impulsive life-decisions have also been some of my best -- or at least my most thrilling. I consider myself a really lucky person.

For the record: I genuinely appreciate someone who's able to be open and straightforward with me -- and hoping to find someone adventurous and affectionate, who won't make me guess at how they feel.

....

A little background: Finished up undergrad in 2010 (Cornell). A few months after escaping Ithaca, NY, I moved (or fled, perhaps) to mainland China, where I spent the next year or so working as a high school English teacher, living in a megacity called Shenzhen. I spent a lot of time getting lost, then "deciding" to explore, drinking bubble tea and eventually finding my way home. During time off, I managed to do some great traveling (read: gallivanting) with friends around Thailand, Bali, etc. Eventually I came back stateside and ended up working at a couple of different (and yet, equally unremarkable) jobs until, finally, last August, it came time for me to pack-up and move to NYC. Since then, among other things, I've been busy enjoying/enduring my first year of law school.
What I’m doing with my life
• Currently a 1L at Columbia Law...

• I'll put my degree to use someday. Beyond that, I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. And I'm not in a rush to figure it out. (questions like this give me a pit in my stomach, frankly.)
I’m really good at
• snowboarding! (bonus factoid: I lived in Park City, Utah for one winter, and it was glorious.)
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
In no particular order, just to name a few:

A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again (written by the late, great D. F. Wallace);

The Royal Tenenbaums (and anything else directed by Wes Anderson...in case my username hadn't already tipped you off);

Alt-J ∆ = the artist I happen to be listening to as I write this. But I listen to all sorts of stuff.
... (Broadly speaking, a lot of indie electro-whatever/synth-pop or more folk-ish, singer-songwriter type stuff -- but then again, hip-hop still holds a special place in my heart.)
• Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream (my tastiest vice).
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 21–25
  • Near me
  • For long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners
