I am intelligent, good-looking, and honest.

My Self-Summary

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence....When I was ten, I read fairytales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -- C.S. Lewis

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a graduate student and currently employed as a behavioral therapist for autistic children, working mostly in elementary schools in LA Unified.

Yes, yes, I know. The future of our young people is in my hands. If that doesn't scare the **** out of you, then you clearly need to re-read this profile.

I’m really good at

Martial Arts, fencing, swimming, telling/writing stories, drawing... lots of stuff. I can bake the best damn chocolate chip cookies in the history of cookies, or chocolate chips.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Everything. I have a bad habit of over-thinking everything. It is why I take great pleasure in the simpler things.

On a typical Friday night I am

The same thing we do every night, Pinky...

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

...I'm batman.
(Seriously, what kind of "private" information is someone going to disclose here? Is this some sort of alternate definition of "private" I'm not aware of.)

You should message me if

Message me if you want to know more about me, or are fairly intelligent, creative, kind and/or interesting.

If you think Africa is a country, have to look to magazines to find out what your opinion should be, or kick puppies for fun, you should probably not message me.
