I am engaging, candid, and droll.
My Self-Summary
What's orange and sounds like a parrot?
A carrot.
What's red and sits in the corner?
A naughty strawberry.
What's green and sings?
Elvis Parsley.
Okay, enough with the silly jokes.
I am funny, witty, and other ___y words. I'm passionate, satirical,
and my middle name should be "non-sequitur." I will try almost
anything once, and my hobbies include random midnight excursions
and figuring out how to best cook 4 different Hot Pockets
simultaneously.
For a couple months in college, I convinced everyone in my building
that I was English.
I once accidentally committed grand theft auto. No charges were
pressed.
I have an infinite capacity to laugh at myself.
I think that "You've Got Mail" is better than "Sleepless in
Seattle" and "When Harry Met Sally" had a cop-out ending.
I savor frosted glass, dark woods, and brushed metal in
furniture.
In the interest of full disclosure, five things (of many):
1) Sock puppets: pitiful substitute for proper puppets, even for
the economically disenfranchised.
2) Apple pie: infinitely overrated attention-whore trying to draw
you away from the incomparable deliciousness of cherry.
3) Cookies 'n cream ice cream: mint chocolate chip clearly offers a
superior juxtaposition of flavors.

Laptop, iPhone, internet, and online forums
Curiosity
Passion
Humor
Friends and companions
Sleep, even though I don't get much
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How the hell I'm ever going to get all my work done.
Eating proper food more than once a week.
Being really, really, ridiculously good looking.
On a typical Friday night I am
Out with friends, usually in Decatur Square or Virginia Highlands.
The bartenders at Brickstore all know me. That's a good
thing...right?
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm usually willing to say or tell anything.
You should message me if
You think you can keep up with me. Perhaps more importantly, if you
prefer McDonald's fries to Burger King's.
