i am a college student at the College of William and Mary, studying international relations and Chinese. i frequently philosophize, spend time with friends, create computer graphics, and engage in community service, to name a few interests.

i have a tendency to be highly critical of myself, particularly with regard to physical fitness and strength. i tend to see where i have yet to go rather than what i have done (which is why writing essays for college, job and grad school applications is extremely difficult for me).

whenever possible i try to engage in activist activities, particularly for liberal causes, such as marriage equality, the elimination of war, environmentalism, health care reform, and pretty much anything that would get me labeled as a communist (which i take as a compliment, particularly since the GOP seems to have an innate fear of communism!)

i believe in the power of reason and the importance of logic, yet i believe in the importance of art and of intangible things such as emotions and morality.

on the subject of morality, i believe the fundamental principles, of which can be determined through logic and reason, are objective and should be used to judge conceptions of god, religion, and society. however, it is the applications of these principals that can be subjective, though the applications must follow a logical pattern.

Thats what ive been trying to figure out for years now! i guess since im still young thats ok. overall, i really just want to have a beneficial impact on the world (hopefully one that changes the world, but im not sure i can live up to the greats). thats as far as career goes. as far as love, eventually i want to find my soulmate and start a family (now that doesnt mean that i have to end up with a woman, since i only really care about who, not what, the person is)

i feel like i should pursue a major research project in which attempts to determine what eutopia (utopia) is and, if at all possible, how we can achieve it as a society.

good question, im not entirely sure. i think my shyness and compassion (and even though its hard for me to accept, ive been complimented on my appearance several times)

for food; anything (well, not fried foods)
for music; any kind of music with either a powerful message or a good sound (particularly rock, alternative, new age, etc).

friends, family, love, reason, creativity, and weightlifting

classes, my family and friends, philosophical questions, ways to help bring more peace and happiness into the world, and my next workout. not to mention my current relationship, not in a worrying way, just a pondering how to make it even better kind of way

that i am in my first relationship. the reason for the delay is because of 1) my lack of confidence, 2) my inability to accept my pansexuality (similar to bisexuality, only without the gender binary. check an unabridged dictionary, such as websters, for a more indepth definition), and 3) (which stems from #2) my closetidness.

it has taken me years, but i am finally accepting of my sexuality and even happy with it. i am, of course, still very worried about how people, particularly people that knew me before i came out, will perceive me.

You would like to get to know me, for any reason.
