I am odd, funny, and smart.

My Self-Summary

Oh my gosh, there is all of this blank space and I have to fill it by talking about me. I'm a modern american nomad. I've moved a lot, I strive to be the best person I can and though I don't always succeed I do try. I want to help others and create beautiful things before I leave this world for the next. I'm a typical indecisive gemini with a stubborn streak and a touch of OCD that thank goodness used to be worse.

What I’m doing with my life

If you figure it out you're welcome to tell me. Right now I'm recruiting physicians for hospitals all around the country. I've worked in the mortgage industry, real estate, photo developing, pizza, warehousing, libraries, and for a welfare to work program, which was my favoreite.

I have a Master in Diplomacy and International Commerce and came within a hairsbreadth of working for the government. It's a long story and involved a move to and from Hawaii and well...it's a long story. Right now I am happy to be around friends and try to make my way through life.

I’m really good at

Learning. Honestly, I learn really fast. Beyond that I don't know...maybe figuring people out, but I don't focus on this the way I used to. I'm good at helping people I think.

The first things people usually notice about me

At first people think I'm quiet. I like to laugh and to smile, though the smile often comes across as a smirk. It generally isn't at your expense, I find life very amusing. You're welcome to ask me why I might be laughing or smiling - I think I'd like it if someone actually did that.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I love books, movies, music and food. I would love to write a book. I read fantasy, sci-fi, biographies, and random things that take my interest.

My goal for this year is to start learning how to play the guitar and to that end I bought a guitar recently. So we'll see how that goes.

The six things I could never do without

I have learned that I could do without everything but people and a place to live that is free from negative emotions. Everything else is details. I've moved enough, been homeless, and poor enough that anything else I can deal with.

Maybe sunshine though and sleep. I like both of those.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The universe, happiness and how to find it, ways to motivate myself and others. People, I think a lot about people. I'm always struggling to understand and make sense of everything and find the patterns in life.

On a typical Friday night I am

Lord knows. Depends who i can get ahold of, I love being at home if I have someone there to spend quality time with or a nice book to curl up with. Generally, though I like be out. It doesn't have to be partying, but it might be. I love dancing, movies, pool, bowling, but more than that I love doing all that and more with friends.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I don't mind sharing private things if you ask, so ask away.

I have a list of top 50 craziest people I've ever met, though I don't think I'm particularly crazy myself. Though I guess that wasn't always as true.

You should message me if

Do you like crazy stories? Have some to share? Want more friends?
