Okay, the acrostic wasn't cutting it. My name is Adam. I'm a genuinely kindhearted guy with a ton of ambition and curiosity. If you have any hobbies, I will likely be interested in them.

I'm also building my photography portfolio. If you need some photos taken, I'm your guy.

Reading a normal-sized portion of assorted literature. This can develop into a career? What? Also, I seem to be spending a lot of time making ironic statements on online profiles.

Just about any untrained skill. I've been told I'm an exemplary essayist, and I am the second best speller in the state of GA.

That I'm really good at deciphering facile statements that are intended to make me point out the physical characteristic I'm most proud of. Try harder, OkCupid.

I guess I'm technically one of those modern-generation, trashy people who's overly dependent on technological extensions of myself.

The collapse of creativity in contemporary society...and raw honey.

Getting in from work to paint.

Oi, I give up very easily on foreign languages. I'm pretty good at Italian, passable at Spanish, and less than mediocre at Japanese and Ancient Greek.

You're not a poser. You're not closed-minded. You're not snotty. You're nice.
