Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I just graduated with a BAS (Environmental Engineering) and am currently job hunting for my future career. I'd really like to focus on finding something that I enjoy doing and not just do to get by. I imagine it would be really hard to be happy in your life if something you devote so much of your time to is something you abhor.

In general, I enjoy reading, watching movies, being outdoors, and hanging out with my friends. I like gaming and playing devil's advocate. Sometimes I engage my friends in conversations from a position I don't necessarily agree with just to see where it can go. This segues into my need for humor in daily life. I love interjecting situational humor and commentary into whatever's going on around me. Environmental consciousness and consideration are important to me, but not really in a radical civil disobedience way, at least not yet.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I just graduated Miami University and while I am proud of that accomplishment, I'm holding off on the celebration until I find that job I've worked the last 4 years towards.

Maybe some people have handled this problem earlier on in their lives, but I have yet to decide how it is that I am going to balance what is actually important and interesting to me and living up to all the preening my parents have put in.

In the mean time, I am relaxing and enjoying my time finding me, for a lack of a better phrase. Lots of reading, Xbox 360 and crashing the internets.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

helping people rationalize through problems and/or being there to listen even if I don't have anything helpful to say, taking forever on my turn in scrabble, procrastinating, not folding laundry, making friends laugh, video games, losing track of time, getting lost in wikipedia, pulling people out of movies by point out fallacies, and being hedonist apparently (or at least OKC seems to think so)

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I've been described as pretty quick witted, which usually manifests as sarcasm. So either people hate me, or love me, for my mouth.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Christopher Moore are my favorite contemporary writers. My favorite books within them are Neverwhere, the Sandman series, Lamb and Good Omens.

I really like most movies-especially those by Mel Brooks. I'm one of those people who will watch a horrible movie, if for no other reason than to laugh about it with friends. Let's see what's on the top of my DVD shelf... Ever After, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Dogma, Moulin Rouge, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Across the Universe, The Princess Bride, From Hell, Pirates of the Caribbean, Nightmare before Christmas, Idiocracy, History of the World Part 1, Labyrinth.

I feel like TV should also be in this section… I watch House religiously. Runners up include: Lost, The Office, Nip/Tuck, Family Guy, Heroes(sometimes), Arrested Development (RIP), How I meet your mother, The Whitest Kids U'Know. Sometimes I watch random marathons on the Discovery Channel. TV is more of a social thing for me and I've found that when I'm alone, I tend to read more.

Although I have NO musical talent whatsoever, I adore those who do. I own very little in the way of CDs and MP3s but listen to just about anything. If I were to choose, I consistently lean towards bands like Tool, Oasis, Placebo, and the ever classic Metallica. I also enjoy Dirty Vegas, Fall Out Boy, Guster, Lily Allen, Maroon 5, Massive Attack, Rascal Flatts, Powder Finger, A Perfect Circle, Yellowcard, Stone Sour, Three Days Grace, VAST. Rock, "Alternative", Grunge, Trip-Hop, House, even some Country... I pull a little from every genre.

I love Japanese food, especially sushi... Italian is my most common staple. I also really love Mexican. I really want to try new things, too, like Thai, Moroccan, or something fun like that. So you should let me know if you know of a good place...

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

This should be filled with a list of all the interesting things I do, places I go and people I hang out with, right?

I am likely just talking to friends, reading, playing video games or viewing Monster.com

But I am certainly for spicing that up.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I once upon a time liked Hinder - before they became grossly overplayed.
I know, I know. Geez.

How else am I supposed to know you're interested and not just trolling around, bored?
