I am quirky, funny, and genuine.

My Self-Summary

I'm a creative person who likes pursuing random interests such as storytelling and llamas and playing Latin jazz piano and making funny faces with children. I think the word "quirky" is fitting- I've traveled to Ontario to try out a God helmet, thrown an epic Two Minute Party, and scanned individuals' brains during mystical experiences. I like to listen to others, which makes sense because I'm in a clinical psychology doctoral program. I am very open to others' beliefs and like to change my own beliefs when it looks like they're wrong. People have told me I'm a genuine person, and that makes me happy.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm in my second year of a clinical psychology PhD program at Pitt. I may be on the road to professordom and therapisthood. On the side I'm also designing a website, http://communiteach.com, which makes it easy for community members to learn random skills from one another for free. I am a fan of learning new things.

I’m really good at

The first things people usually notice about me

I tend to ask a bunch of questions to get others talking rather than talk myself.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

The six things I could never do without

A new musical instrument to learn, exchanging ideas, creativity, the search for meaning, storytelling, joking around with children

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I'm starting to conduct therapy now, so I think a lot about which parts of therapy are actually helpful to clients and which are not.

On a typical Friday night I am

Honestly, I'm usually at a bar, but I prefer to do more creative stuff like improvising music with friends or composing crappy poetry in two minutes and reading it, or learning how to tango or doing group paintings or staying up late drinking coffee and discussing stuff, or going on llama treks.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Since grade school I've wanted to have a mystical or spiritual experience. But it hasn't happened! Maybe someone should convince me to take care of it with a lot of drugs. I should mention I'm currently an atheist, but my blood has lots of Judaism. Anyway, I'm open to changing my mind and finding out that there is a god, though. That'd be nice.

Also, I kind of like eavesdropping in crowded places.

You should message me if

you are creative, intelligent, and on the odd side
