I am adventurous, sensitive, and spontaneous.
My Self-Summary
I love ellipses in both the practical and metaphorical senses.
What I’m doing with my life
Ha HA! Good question.
I’m really good at
making omelets, doodling, and wasting time. Maybe being modest? My
boss tells me I'm really good at data analysis, but that's not
really OkCupid talk...
The first things people usually notice about me
My smile. I like to think my wit too, but that hasn't been
confirmed as much.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: The Count of Monte Cristo, A Fine Balance, my Anthropology
textbook from college, and a book of short stories by Manuel Rivas
that I can't remember the name of.
Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Jerk, Central
Station. I had trouble on an okcupid quiz choosing whether Heathers
or Rushmore was the better movie. What do you think?
Music: The Magnetic Fields, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, My
Morning Jacket, Calexico, Serge Gainsbourg, Tribalistas, a lot of
random Brazilian stuff that you probably don't care about, Fela
Kuti, MIA, that Jay-Z New York song and other danceable yet
listenable stuff.
TV Shows: Arrested Development, Jon Stewart. I don't really watch a
lot of TV these days, probably because I watched enough sitcoms
growing up to last three lifetimes. I even named a dog after a
character on Family Ties. And sometimes I blame my misplaced humor
on the fact that there's no laugh track in real life.
Food: I love food and eat a lot, but I'm not a foodie. I'm a bad
vegetarian. A couple of my friends call me a "flexitarian" but I
think people just expect too much out of people and their voluntary
dietary restrictions. But I always prefer fresh and natural
ingredients, except in the case of peanut butter. My favorite
things to eat out are Ethiopian food, Lhaksa soup, grape leaves,
moules frites, or, on a cold night, Hot and Sour Soup with lots of
those little crunchy thingies. My favorite hot sauces are green
tabasco and chalula.
The six things I could never do without
Please see Maslow's heirarchy of needs.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
my next meal, my upcoming travel plans, potential conversations
with people that I don't know very well, and whether or not taking
the trans-Siberian railway from west to east would be as cool as
starting in Europe and ending in Asia. Those are the constants, at
least. Everyday brings something new to ponder.
On a typical Friday night I am
there is no typical Friday night.
You should message me if
you're intelligent and people laugh at your jokes. Looks and good
taste never hurt anyone either.
