Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm a pretty average 22-year-old guy. Born and raised in Orange County, now I live in San Diego for school where I'm majoring in computer science with a minor in Japanese studies. Currently I'm starting into my last year of college and after that I'm not sure what the future holds. Right now I'm going through the "what do I do after college" phase of my life, but I think that happens to everyone so I'm not too worried...yet.

My personality is pretty laid-back. I'm content to live and let live, and I try to be friendly and respectful to everyone that I meet. Friends and family are very important to me, and I'm very giving of myself to those that I care about. I was raised in a religious family which is perhaps why I'm not particularly religious now, I think it's more important to try and lead a good life rather than get caught up in dogma. I always try to be very open-minded and considerate.

In my free time I like to hang out with friends or play video games. I wouldn't say that I'm a big party-goer; I prefer to spend time with smaller groups of close friends as opposed to large groups of people I don't know. However, I'm not opposed to going to the occasional party or club, and I'm not anti-social by any means.

For physical activities I like riding bikes and occasionally working out at the gym. Also, I've recently started swimming laps instead of jogging and I'm liking it so far. Eventually I want to learn how to surf, somehow I haven't learned yet despite growing up in CA.

Also, I really enjoy traveling. Two years ago I did a year-long study abroad program at Tokyo University in Japan and it was an amazing experience. I've also been to Australia and the UK, and I'm always eager to visit new places both abroad and here in the US.

I'm straight-acting, though I resent the fact that that term even exists. I don't think there's any way to say that straight people act one way and gay people act another. The only thing that my sexuality defines is who I'm attracted to, not my personality.

I'd really like a boyfriend who is caring and just as much a friend as a lover. I've never been into finding hook-ups or one-night-stands; I need to feel like I'm loved by the person I'm with. My ideal match would be someone I could feel completely comfortable with and someone who genuinely appreciates me. Also, they'd be someone I could give tons of hugs to!

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Currently I'm working towards my bachelor degree in Computer Science, but I'm not sure what happens after graduation. I really don't want to end up in a job where I'm sitting behind a computer all day, unfortunately most Computer Science-oriented careers involve exactly that.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I'm really good at learning languages. I was able to pick up Japanese and speak it to a near-fluent degree after 3 years (though living in the country for one of those years certainly helped). My accent is also good enough that I can sometimes trick people into thinking that I'm part Japanese. It's really fun to be able to do that.

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

My hair is fairly noticeable, I suppose. It's gotten pretty long now, and my friends comment on it quite a bit. Until a few years ago I had always kept it fairly short. I could be convinced to cut it I suppose...

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

Books: Anything by Michael Crichton, or other sci-fi/fantasy like Lord of the Rings

Movies / TV: Generally I'm pretty open with movies and TV, but I really enjoy great science fiction like Firefly. Also I really like The Office, Lost and Futurama.

Music: Generally everything but rap and hip-hop. I'm mostly into modern rock, my favorite band is the Foo Fighters.

Food: Japanese and Mexican (not together though, that's just disgusting). I'm always open to trying new things, and I've had several strange food items in my travels abroad...

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Paper Towels. I had to do without them in Japan for a while and cleaning up spills with toilet paper is not fun.

Slippers. I really hate having cold feet, and a pair of warm fuzzy slippers can be the best thing in the world on cold days.

My trusty laptop. (Well actually, I'm now on my 3rd trusty laptop.) It's my main way of keeping in touch with those who are important to me and checking up on the world, so I don't like to be without it.

Hot tea. Nothing feels better to me on cold days or when I'm sick, except for perhaps the aforementioned slippers. Both green and black tea are fine.

Exercise. Getting outside is essential for my sanity, especially when I've been inside programming for an extended period of time

Friends and Family. I realize that sounds cliche, and saying that it sounds cliche sounds cliche as well, but there really is nothing more important.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

I often think about what I could be doing better. I'm constantly doing a mental critique of my study/exercise habits and other aspects of my life, looking for ways that I can improve. At times I think this habit can lead to a lot of unnecessary stress, but overall I think it drives me to be a better person.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Usually I'm either hanging out with friends or spending a quiet evening at home. When I'm really busy I'll be working on school projects or studying.

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

I'm absolutely terrified of spiders, even very tiny ones. I can't even look at pictures of spiders without feeling like I need to leave the room. It's really childish, but it's something I've never been able to get over.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You should message me if I sound like a guy you'd like to get to know. I'm always welcome to the idea of making new friends, so if you'd like to drop me a line please don't hesitate. Also, I'd really like to meet someone who I could make a lasting relationship with. If I'm someone that interests you, please let me know! =)
