I am witty, liberal, and intelligent.

Now that you've been sufficiently warned, I can relax and write the
rest of this section, knowing that you're less likely to sue
me.
I am a college graduate with a major degree in Business
Administration and minor degree in Political Science. I am best
described as a walking contradiction, in that, I am sensitive,
reserved, and grounded on the one hand, and on the other hand, I
stand 6'1" tall of wit and sarcasm. I enjoy weightlifting, long
bike rides on the Seawall, meeting new people, an eclectic sense of
humor, music, snowy days, friends, capitalization where necessary,
travel, sarcasm, witty banter, proper grammar and punctuation, good
conversation and good times. I am employed by the Grammar Police,
so when I crack down on you for incorrect spelling or poor grammar,
remember folks, I am just doing my job. For years, I have wanted to
represent my city of Minneapolis in a politicial event so that I
can shed a few tears, pretend for a split second that I understand
the complexities of world peace, and insist that Nicaragua
neighbors Spain, when asked about my B.A. in Geography (as if it
even exists). I smack arrogant individuals of both genders with my
front tire. When I was seven-years-old, I used to hand in all of my
assignments with squiggly printing, until one day my Elementary
School Teacher informed me Halloween was over! It's impossible to
catch me in any club-snub atmosphere. Instead, I make frequent
trips to the local library and borrow books I find interesting. I
can't help but wonder how many have seen my face on the Internet;
and often time when they stare long enough I build up the courage
to ask if they recognize my face from "The Matrix". I hate when
spell-check insists that the word favorite cannot be spelled
without a 'u'; we live in America, god damnit (similarly, I dislike
when websites prohibit my profane language). I am a firm believer
that rollerbladers should be altogether banned from the Seawall. I
have refrained from breaking down my "Mandatory Description" into
smaller paragraphs to strain your eyesight, as well as for your
reading enjoyment. And when my sister and I were young, we
assembled our own set of Lego toys, now available to own for only
four easy payments of $34.99.
What I’m doing with my life
I am a paralegal. I hope to become an attorney one day.
I’m really good at
Writing: I worked for a newspaper. My job revolved around
fact-checking and research. Thanks to those skills, I am writing a
book that I will hopefully publish one day.
Trivia: Yes, trivia. I have always wanted to be on the game show
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." Then again, I am just a dreamer.
When I spend time on the computer, I play trivia games that are
mainly about history, politics, recent events, and, sometimes,
science.
Playing soccer: I played professional soccer until the summer of
2005, when I suffered from a herniated disk in my lower back. I
have never been to a soccer field ever since. Despite that, I still
have strong passion for the sport.
Debating politics: I have strong convictions. I regularly
participate in political debates on the Internet.
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyes. It has to be the color.

The six things I could never do without
The gym, my laptop, books, TV, my car, and most importantly, my
degrees.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why OKCupid forums such as "Bang or Pass" and "OKC Naughty Picture
Contest" get much more hits than political/social forums, or topics
that actually matter to society.
On a typical Friday night I am
Call me a loser, but I don't do anything special on Friday nights.
This isn't something I am ashamed of, either. I am quite proud of
my lifestyle. I don't like to go to bars or clubs. I would much
rather stay in my apartment and watch TV, read books, chat online,
or play guitar.
And I'm addicted to Facebook.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Perhaps this is not something I should reveal on the internet, but
I have been suffering from clinical depression for at least 12
years. It seems to get worse as I get older.
