I'm more of a quiet, reserved type of guy. I'm really shy around people I don't know, but talkative to those I do. I want to help people in my life, as what's the point of being selfish or too focused on one thing? I could list all that crap that people want to hear...honest, loyal, trustworthy..blah, blah, and I think I probably could, but it's sorta pointless when you first meet someone/trying to impress someone. I'm sure everyone would say those things about themselves. I am, however, a bit on the perfectionistic side sometimes, with alphabetized books/games/cds and all the labels in the cupboard facing one way. I know...I'm a freak. I am sometimes a little head strong and I don't take others opinions/views into thought as I think my way would be the best, which it is. Haha..jk. It usually screws things up when it happens. I care too much of what others think of me, especially strangers. I guess those are some of my personailty quirks.

I'm pursuing a degree in Medical Microbiology and Immunology...I know, it's a mouthful. Don't feel impressed. It's not as hard as it sounds...or at least I hope >_<. I'm a sophmore at the UW, and so far everything is going well. I might go on after I get my degree and enter a doctoral training program for microbio. Not sure yet. I just know that I want to work in a lab, diagnosing illnesses, and have my career/life's work be meaningful.

Other than that stuff, I'm loving life! I've recently become a bit of a health nut, starting last May. I now jog 4-5 days a week and eat mostly produce. I'm doing my first race soon, and on May 30th of next year, I'll be doing a half-marathon! WOOT! My goal is to do a full one the following year.

*Cheering people up when they are down
*Smiling
*Art when I care to practice it
*Standing by my values
*Following through with my goals
*Cooking
*Pawning at Video Games
*Being Awesome!

I would want to say my smile, as I love it! I'm a bit obsessive with white, healthy teeth and it shows, haha. Other than that, I would say personality? I know it sounds lame, but I think I have a rather good one ;)

I don't spend a LOT of time on critical thinking. My life is usually hectic, and when my mind rests, it likes to stay idle. That sounds wrong, but....yeah. Idk...I would say life, what I want to do, who I am and would rather be. I contemplate where I am, how I got there, and where I want to go.

With close friends, whether that be playing a board game, watching a movie, or playing beer pong. ;)

you have any interest in me at all. Give it a try. I promise I'll be nice and accepting; who knows what'll happen. You might just find love, haha...or a friend...
