I am considerate, smart, and empathic.
My Self-Summary
Hi! My name is Quentin... Unique, eh? I'm totally named after a
ghost/werewolf/zombie etc. from the old sci fi soap opera called
"Dark Shadows". My family is a little off. :-)
Alright, so i'm going to do my best to fill this out. I have a BS
in
psychology
and an MA in
clinical psychology which I
got from
York
College and
Michigan State.
I got burnt out and came back to NY because of a job offer, and now
I'm in the process of taking over a small business... something
that has absolutely nothing to do with my degrees. oops. Actually,
I worked at this store before I even went off to college, so it's
really kinda going back to my roots. What a change! I have a nice,
small group of friends, but I guess it's pretty hard making new
friends outside of the group I already have.
I love to
travel. A
couple years ago I went on a safari in Kenya. I even got a quick
tour of Amsterdam during the layover! A few years earlier I visited
Greece and Turkey. More recently I've been to Mexico, Egypt, and
Jordan. Next Stop? maybe Australia, China, or Russia?
I also like to
write, and have had a bunch of
fantasy novels in my head
that im hoping to get out before my mind completely fails me...
I've been lacking inspiration lately, tho.
I like going to the
movies,
dinnering, random drives,
baseball and
softball (watching the
former, playing the later) minature golf, the occassional video
game, love to
travel, deep
conversation and lots of other
stuff.
Anyway, That's me.
What I’m doing with my life
Well, I mentioned this in my summary - but right now i'm starting
to take over this business. It's not as rewarding a job as I would
hope for, but it works for now. What that basically means is I
spend most of the day playing online, chatting online, and keeping
up on half a dozen or so
webcomics.
Eventually i'd like to write some books (i like fantasy genre stuff
- no, not that kinda fantasy, sicko!), and maybe even finish my PhD
and work part time as either a general clinician or relationship
counseling. I have learned the only thing that is guaranteed is
that things change so i try not to be too specific with where i'm
going!
I’m really good at
listening, navigating manhattan, planning trips, other stuff too,
i'm sure.
The first things people usually notice about me
It depends on the person.. What do you think?
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
a) well, my favorite author is Terry Brooks. I like alot of fantasy
/ adventure sort of stuff.
b) I can't really have a favorite for movies.. there are so many
different genres, after all! Anyway, I do like fantasy movies, like
the Lord of the Rings Movies, Princess Bride, Labyrinth, and so on.
I also appreciate some romantic comedies like Love Actually. Also
various mindless Comic Book Action movies. I have a fondness for
pretty awful sci-fi special movies as well. Mansquito, anyone? ha.
Really, there are few genres I dislike despite horror. Don't really
care for it.
As far as TV goes, I love (and really, really relate to)
Scrubs. I also try to keep
up with the
Daily
Show and
The
Office (the new, US version), and more recently
Big Bang Theory.
I also am a big fan of
Doctor Who, and have been since I was
a wee lad. I still watch
Heroes, and I also watch
Lost. I liked
Firefly, but I only watched it after it
was already gone. So yeah, cheese sitcoms and scifi stuff.
c) music is tough because i'm one of the few people that is not
particularly passionate about music. I listen to just about
everything - it makes me adaptable to whatever my friends tastes'
are. Recently i've been on an 80s hits kick tho.
d) all sorts of things! pistachios, broccoli, pickles, I like
trying new types of cuisine whenever I can... which is odd because
there is a lot of stuff I don't eat.
The six things I could never do without
This is a hard question to answer. I think besides the
need-to-physically-live stuff, there are a lot of things that are
very important, and without them I would never feel complete.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What I have and what i've lost. And why. And what to do.
I think, I worry. Hey. I was a psychology major. It's what I do.
On a typical Friday night I am
Depends on the week. Either Getting ready for work on Saturday or
in Manhattan.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I always try to avoid killing insects and spiders when I can. It's
not that i'm THAT empathic towards the plight of the common bug,
but more that if they ever decided to revolt against humankind,
they'd at least know I wasn't a jerk towards them just because I
was bigger.
..oh yeah, and you know Hiro from Heroes? How he would scrunch his
nose in deep concentration hoping for some sort of superpower or to
happen in the first episode? I've done that too. PS: it didnt work.
You should message me if
You want to talk. My job usually entails sitting at a desk and
playing online. That means I need penpals and chatbuddies to talk
to! So, if ya got any interest, i'd love to have random
conversation with you !
