Your Notes
Edit your notesI am nefarious, wayfaring, and ludicrous.
My Self-Summary
I like to wander, usually by running, sometimes by plane (yes that
means long distance travel), sometimes just walking around
the city.
I used to wander because I don't know what I want. I'm only a little bit clearer on that now, i can see myself doing just about anything. I basically just like doing stuff, I'm willing to try things once. I just want to learn as much as i can about everything, so that when I do figure it out, BAM. SHAZAM. whatever crazy comic book noise you want.
i am just not horribly picky about most things, but the important things are, well, important. i hate drama, i like simplicity and freedom. life just isn't that complicated.

What I’m doing with my life
biology, i think.
but not research anymore, i just felt that i could do something a
little more meta. like helping researchers and doctors and whatnot.
i'm not the doctor/PhD type, that's for sure. but i am definitely
some sort of scientist or engineer, so i code for a biology-related
startup.
In my secret life i'd be a photographer. I am working on my own darkroom. I take a lot of pictures, and I even give away cameras occasionally, because I know I'm not the best photog evar, it's fun to see what other people come up with.

I’m really good at
computer science, strangely. but I like it less than I first
thought. I see it as a tool for changing the world, it's a little
more . . . spiritual than that?
running, not necessarily away from problems, possibly for exercise
soccer (yes football). i mostly run (incessantly) and stand in the right place. i have, uh, tactical awareness. that means the ball hits me in the face as i stand on the goal line, but hey, i saved a goal right?
i'm okay at guitar. i never realllllly learned. i just sat at home and tried to get better. i can sing while i play now, that took longer to learn than i'd like to admit.

The first things people usually notice about me
the disconnect between my size and appetite. that seems to confuse
people as i devour twelve pounds of meat at midwest grill or twelve
pounds of sushi at minado.
other than that, the glasses maybe? and that my name has a strange similarity to that of a chipmunk. (that should narrow it down to about three names, unless you count the female names. and no my first name is not actually Melvin, though Mel Torme's a pretty good singer)
i flip out a lot. i ask strange questions. i can't sit still.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
i liked bunnicula when i was young. you know, that book with the
vampire rabbit. just though it'd be relevant now that halloween's
approaching and all.
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. manhattan. (gotta love that black and white stuff in an era of color.) umbrellas of cherbourg is pretty good too. i seem to have lost patience for a lot of movies, even though i have Netflix. I tend to watch in spurts, like three movies in one week, then nothing for a month.
as for music, i would like to say i am an indie rocker who likes moving back in time, as in listening to sunny day real estate. or velvet underground. i love indie-folk (iron and wine, that kind of stuff). but i have a soft spot for britpop.
i am probably not indie enough for some people. I APOLOGIZE doot doot

The six things I could never do without
mango pudding! coffee (sometimes)! tea! vodka! cameras! and City
(Manchester
City) 'til i die.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
what to do next, sometimes without actually doing anything, which
kind of annoys me. I'm silly, and then I will flip out and do
something, kind of like a wind-up toy.
what my crappy crappy darkroom is missing. I have yet to print, only develop film.
also, whether to go somewhere next weekend. By somewhere, I mean on a plane.
whether to capitalize things. I seem to sometimes do it, sometimes not, like I feel like this should be some sort of IM conversation, but then I saw everyone else doing it, so peer pressure and all that.

On a typical Friday night I am
out, somewhere, not necessarily with or without friends. I like
wandering around Boston but there's still so much to see even after
years here. I will also sit at bars and watch people, also i feel
you have to live life regardless of what is going on around you,
and that's why I go places all the time.
OK, sometimes I just go home, play guitar, and pass out in front of the Sox game. pfffffft

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
uhhhhh, I watch HGTV? Yes, the channel about the houses and the
homes and such.
Okay, extra bonus answer, six years ago i had a beard, which was strange for an asian guy. but i'm glad i at least have the option of facial hair.
Okay, extra extra bonus answer, when you're not looking I'm looking at airfare on kayak, because I'm still wondering whether or not to go somewhere next weekend; that's what iphones are for.

You should message me if
. . . you like concerts of the indie type, whatever you believe
that means. I have decided I need new pals to see concerts with.
Pals. What a great word.
. . . you are even more random than me.
. . . if you are a Manchester City supporter. everyone loves man united. I do not. sorry. but it's okay if you do. sort of not really.
. . . if you can teach me to ride a bike. i'm serious, i can't do it. haven't done it since first grade.
