OKcupid told me to put brackets around words, and since I do what ever the computer tells me to do, I had a little fun with it.

I love to laugh. Sometimes at your expense. I apologize in advance.

I'm working my butt off today to realize as much of my untapped (and previously squandered) potential as I can without burning out.

I respect people for the changes and improvements they make to the world and the people they care about.

I'm fiercely loyal and very honest.

I guess you could say I'm a closet nerd, but you might not know it if you met me. hmmm...now that I just said it, I'm not in the closet anymore. So does that make me a flaming nerd? Thought for the day.

I can be picky (which is probably why I'm still single) but know it is better to wait for the right one than to settle.

I hate writing these things...

Life is pretty damn busy these days, but I'd much rather be busy than bored any day! I'm working as the assistant controller of a leasing company, going to school full time at CSULB for an Accounting/Finance dual major, trading stocks and options from home, and making sure to squeeze in some fun when I can.

everything. Especially being humble.

my eyes or my smile. sense of humor maybe? I don't know, you tell me!

Lime jello
High fives. They're pretty damn important.
Counting to six

Improving my life and the lives of those around me.

The gaps between society's/people's perception and reality.

That the difference between "good" and "evil" is sometimes just the result of effective propaganda.

How I can fundamentally change the course of human history for the better.

Why men have nipples.

There is no typical friday! Bar/chillin/movie/studying/stock research/party should cover it

I'm not a virgin. There, now the world knows my hidden secret.

You have a good heart and are just laid back and fun to talk to. A good head on your shoulders helps too. No typical self-centered, ditzy, materialistic OC biatches, please and thank you.

I noticed that I wrote what I DON'T want here, but I think it's also important to talk about what someone DOES want. Over the years, I've noticed these have been the things that I find myself drawn to in a girl
- affectionate
- probably wouldn't be described as "average" or "normal" and is comfortable with that
- good sense of humor
- wants to make a difference in the world
- tends to put others first (but not necessarily a pushover)
- empathic
- intelligent
- honest
- loyal
I could probably use those words to describe myself so I don't think it's too much to ask, right?

Oh, and despite what okcupid thinks, I am actually very creative/artistic, MUCH more rebellious than lawful, and have been told I have excellent manners. Pssshhh...you think you know...
