I am perceptive, acerbic, and grounded.

My Self-Summary

I'm a twenty-four year old living on the north side of Chicago. A few years ago I decided to pull out of the collegiate rat race and work until I figured out what I actually wanted to do with my life. So I got this crappy job working at a fried fish place, which was absolutely worthless. Except! It taught me how to work with seafood, which eventually parlayed into my current job managing a higher-end fish market close to downtown. So that's what I do now. I sell you fish. I buy fish from people who sell me fish. Do you like fish?

I also read a lot. Parent A is a librarian and Parent B is a voracious reader, so their kids learned to read from an early age. Thanks, mom and dad! I'm currently working on The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.

I take the train a lot. Much love for the CTA. Thanks for getting me around my city!

I do a lot of things.

What I’m doing with my life

I work full time. I'm considering going back to school in the spring. I'm planning fantastic dream vacations to all corners of the globe. I'm learning how to cook.

I’m really good at

I'm an excellent procrastinator. I'm also useful to have around when your computer breaks. I'm a Sudoku whiz-kid. I can make some tasty pasta. I can't solve a rubik's cube. I can get all the whistles in Super Mario 3 for NES.

I'm really good at expanding my profile to 1,000 words to get the OKC monkey off my back.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm enthusiastic about meeting people and making new friends. My sense of humor is sarcastic, but almost never malicious in intent. People have told me for a number of years that my eyes "look cool", but I have no idea what that means.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

(A) Brave New World/Aldous Huxley, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius/Dave Eggers, In Cold Blood/Truman Capote, Maus/Art Spiegelman, Oh, The Places You'll Go/Dr. Seuss

(B) The Shawshank Redemption, Big Fish, The Wrong Man, The Great Escape, Evil Dead, JFK, Gods and Generals

(C) All kinds of stuff that'll make you cringe, and some stuff that won't.

(D) I eat meat. I eat anything.

The six things I could never do without

Human contact, the internet, coffee, clean socks, days off, money.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How I'm going to reconcile wanting to be filthy rich with wanting to sell fish for a living. Also how to solve a rubik's cube without peeling the stickers.

On a typical Friday night I am

You might find me at Hopleaf having a new beer. I also play poker with friends once a month or so. I'm getting better! I work retail, though, meaning my Friday Nights do not always occur on Friday night.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Once upon a time I thought that [political party A] was better than [political party B]. Now I know that we need a viable [political party C/D/E/F/G] more than anything else.

I used to love a lot of horrible emo bands.

I've testified as a John Doe witness.

I am so messy it isn't even funny, and you'll never know or see it.

There's a strong likelihood that I am an "Oops!" baby.

I still like a couple of horrible emo bands.

I killed Mr. Body in the study with the revolver.

You should message me if

Honestly, you should message me if you have the slightest inclination to do so. I'm friendly. Definitely message me if you've been to a killer restaurant lately and you want to tell me all about it.
