I'm a sophomore at NYU studying literature and philosophy and various other things that aren't likely to get me a job anytime soon. I spend a lot of my time writing, but think that I'm too ______ (young? immature? unspoiled by cynicism?) to actually publish anything. I'm also a pretty enthusiastic musician (trombone/bass) and am living with my band this coming fall; I'm hoping to do a lot of traveling and music-playing before I do anything serious with my life.

I'm on here for pretty much whatever comes my way, mostly looking to meet new people and then see what happens. I'm pretty mediocre with first impressions, I suck at feigning interest, and I tend to only keep in contact with people who really resonate with me-- but if you're still interested, then by all means, read on!
