I am intelligent, relaxed, and friendly.
My Self-Summary
Hey guys,
I'm a friendly guy and fun to be around. I'm always cracking jokes
and trying to make people laugh... sometimes I try too hard.
:P
My ideal use of spare time is playing
music,
chess, and
groups of friends. I love to
spend time
canoeing at my
cottage. I spend a lot of time at the
dog park where I pretend to do homework while my puppy runs around.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm studying
Linguistics with a minor in Computer
Science at Carleton. I'd love to do Grad work and get involved with
computer processing of language and
speech recognition. I'm
pretty academic. I also get depressed when I don't get perfect on
tests/assignments. (luckily it doesn't happen too often! :P)
For my "day job" I'm a waiter. At least, usually.
I’m really good at
Problem solving, computers, entertaining, music, identifying dog
breeds, laughing
I'm also a grammar/dictionary/spelling resource. But I'm not one of
those whip-cracking grammar enthusiasts. On the contrary, I think
they're pretty douchey.
I could probably checkmate you in 10 moves... just sayin' :P
The first things people usually notice about me
my eyes? my bad jokes?
I dunno. People seem to like me.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I like most movies. My favorite genre would probably be suspense.
Not too crazy for romantic comedies or chick flicks.
My favorite authors are Nabokov, Ondaatje and Coetzee. I also like
reading Terry Pratchett. I read several books at the same time
which a lot of people find unusual.
My favorite book is Lolita.
I like a variety of music. I play the viola (violin++) and
saxophone. I'm also currently working on voice lessons.
I love olives and cheese. I consider myself a pretty decent cook. I
love putting a roast on and inviting over my friends.
The six things I could never do without
My six things are (in no particular order) :
1) The Internet
2) music
3) canoes
4) books
5) my health
6) food? shelter? employment?
I spend a lot of time thinking about
music, cute boys and next semester.
I'm also in the process of shopping for grad schools. I don't
graduate for two years, but I'm always thinking ahead.
On a typical Friday night I am
Since the beginning of this school year I've had the pleasure of
only working part time. I spend a lot of time working on my
readings and homework.
I also have a 3 month boxer puppy named Nimzo(the one in the photo
is my parents boxer/bull mastiff Tito), and he takes up a lot of my
time. So far it's been a blast. Funny how fast they grow!
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
The most private?
I dunno. Sometimes I fart and blame it on the dog.
I like to think I'm very open on a variety of subjects. I'd
encourage you to ask me any questions you might have.
You should message me if
You like dogs. The puppy is part of the deal.
Apart from that little caveat... message me if you like my profile.
Or message me if you don't and we can call each other names.
Who knows what'll happen.
