Hmm, it's a little hard to figure out exactly what to say for all this, but I really think I have a lot to offer. First and foremost I'm a good person. I treat people well and genuinely want them to be happy. I like to go out and have fun with my friends and enjoy living in the city, whether that's out at a bar watching a football game or dancing in a club or checking out a band or lounging in a park on a sunny day. But I've got an intellectual side too and I spend a lot of my time reading classic novels and studying foreign languages and keeping up on politics and current events. Along my travels I've lived in Japan for a couple years, backpacked around Australia for a winter, and spent a summer road tripping to Panama and back. I like to cook and I can make maybe eight to ten dishes that turn out really well. I take care of myself, run and exercise regularly, eat healthy and keep myself in good shape.

Funemployment. Be jealous. I had a perfectly good job programming financial tools and I'll have no problem finding a better one when I feel like it. But why rush back to the cubicle when I have the chance to do much better things with my life?

I just found out that a short story of mine is going to be published, and I'm working on a novel which I think has a lot of promise. I'm reading some of the books I've been meaning to read, in English, Spanish and Japanese. I'm also running and taking yoga classes and working out every day, joining fun sports leagues, volunteering, and starting to plan some vacations!

Keeping things in perspective, foosball, Excel, meeting new people, karaoke, dropping science, living large.

Probably my eyes and the way I dress. One time I was working in a coffee shop and a lady told me my facial expressions were fun to watch.

What my friends are up to and what I'm going to do over the weekend. The book I'm reading or movie I've just watched or song I have stuck in my head. How the world works and how it would work a million times better if I were in charge. How to become a better person. My future and where I'm headed.

Doing the same thing I do every night, Pinky.
Trying to take over the world!
(Well, that or out drinking)

I'm usually not a big fan of pop crazes, but I really like "Call Me Maybe." The way she sings "This is cra-a-azy" is so sweet. I've felt that way before. That's how I want to feel about somebody again.

You're a kind and caring person
You make life easier, not harder
You have a sense of humor
You can take care of yourself
You like to go out and have fun
You've got good taste
You can teach me something
You liked something I had to say
