I can often be found either up a tree with a book or in my office with a tie and pretty much all things in between. I like spending time with people, especially in smaller groups, but I do love a good party now and then. I love pretty much all people, but i'm not overly hippyish (and I like to think I smell better than that).

I am often prone to discussion about so called taboo topics (politics, life phil, religion) but only because I really like to learn how people think.

When I am not in some sort of topical discussion, I am probably saying something silly or randomly hypothetical. People tell me I come off as a stoner (even though I don't smoke) until an intelligent topic comes up. I kind of like that because it makes me feel like an incognito philosopher.

I like the word incognito.

Ask me something. It'll be a bit more sensible than listing everything.

I am adventurous, fun-loving, and intelligent

Currently, I am studying to get a Masters of Public Administration at the University of Delaware. I am concentrating in Community Development and non-profit leadership. That's fancy talk for making communities work and running shit.

I am also doing research with the Center for Community Research and Service. I am working on a social marketing project right now, but will be moving into a new one soon. The new one will be working with the County Executive on evaluating a new housing law. This really excites me because I will have my own budget and research and will be able to actually have an impact on real future housing policy.

For this semester, I am placed at an education policy organization as a social media consultant. I get paid to be on facebook and tell people who make five times as much as I do what to do. Its kinda cool. I also help them do research and other communications stuff.

cooking, randomness, telling bad puns, debating, volunteer coordination, getting shit done, listening, other things...

people usually tell me the first thing non-physical they notice about me is how friendly and accepting I am to new people.

I was also elected by my friends as the "Most Classy Drunk" they know. Yes, it was an actually election. I wonder if that means I am classy in general, or if alcohol makes me classy.

The idea of classy potion is intriguing.

books: Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, JD Salinger, Ayn Rand. I also read a lot of philosophy books and have been known to delve into Jewish texts (as well as any other religious texts). Anything that makes a statement or makes you think. Recently I have been delving heavily into modern anarchist thought.

Movies: Monty Python and the quest for the Holy grail, Shortbus, EL TOPO, Spaceballs, IF... Drugs Were Legal, Duck Season, Brazil, Waking Life, Shaun of the Dead, Easy Rider, Network.

Music: I will listen to pretty much anything but I do often delve into sounds of the indie/punk/hardcore/ska influence. I have recently been dealing with an obsession with good raw folk music. Recent favorites: Woody Guthrie, Ghost Mice, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Perter Bjourn and John, Cake, Mars Volta, probably some more.

://name dropping

Food: Anything Asian or Indian. South American foods, seafood, some Italian and french foods. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook! Most the stuff I cook is vegan, but I am not vegan myself. I am a vegetarian who mostly avoids dairy but eats some seafood.

I'm also kind of tea obsessed. My favorite kind of tea is oolong and I own a (very) small organic tea business. Lastly, I love a good quality beer and consider myself somewhat of a brew aficionado.

books, people, music, my family, good walking/hiking/biking shoes, something to cook on.

Politics, life philosophy, randomness, the future (both the world's and my own), whatever projects I am working on.

People, in both the individual and societal contexts.

When I walk places, I think a lot about planning things I am doing and about social situations.

When in the shower, I think a lot about general philosophy and often random daydreams. I probably also think about the songs I sing while washing myself.

In the car or on my bike, I generally think about how awesome things are. If I am in the car, I am probably also thinking about the songs I am listing to/shouting over.

Having a beer or two with some friends. Maybe at a party or concert or art show. I love a good night of culture (be it punk rock or performance art).

What kind of question is this?

You want to. (unless you want to because you are creepy).

I have never used one of these sites before. I guess I am mostly looking for more cool friends.

Also, if you like reading and/or drinking tea and/or chilling and/or picnicking on the tops of trees, message me. I can most commonly be found in my office, at the library, or at the top of a tree. Climbing things is a large hobby of mine.
