Long story short: I'm a nerd. I usually have a text book from a class I am not taking sitting next to my bed. I enjoy overly corny jokes (A peanut was walking through the park; it was assaulted). I enjoy things such as reading, writing, drawing, cooking, playing guitar, and listening to music. I routinely study at bars.

I'm a pretty plain guy. I spend entirely way too much time just laying in the grass. I like hot baths, good books, good tea, and happy music. I'm pretty much a pacifist, violence just isn't very nice.

Recent text from my friend margiecakes:

"...stop overthinking things. Seriously, you take everything waaaaay too seriously. You need to lighten up."

I want to be a college professor, and I'm aiming at getting my Ph.D. in political science, and I also enjoy studying philosophy. I'm taking my time with school at the moment, I would like to keep out of debt as much as possible, so I plan on transferring to a UC when I turn 24 and become eligible for financial aid. I support myself at the moment by delivering pizza, which affords me plenty of time to sit in my car and think; and at the same time requires minimum effort and takes up a relatively short amount of time for the amount of money I make.

I'm also doing a fair amount of rowing in the mornings.

Art, cooking, studying, working on cars, and avoiding discussions about current politics.

I have the physique of a pop sickle stick.

I've never been very good at expressing my thoughts in writing, so in lieu of coming up with something original I will start of by quoting xkcd:

The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live trapped in loops, reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out ahead of us. We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last, every moment smoothly following the gentle curves of societal norms. We act like if we just get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us.

And no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sade of someday easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

This is very important so I want to say it as clearly as I can:

FUCK. THAT. SHIT.

I think this is important to assert: My interest in someone else as a person is based solely on the thoughts that flow from them. Qualities such as having similar interests, ability to freely communicate, etc. are all nice, but not sufficient.
