There's no way not to be cliche here, right? Yes, I'm complicated and so are you, but maybe something in this snippet will pique your interest... or maybe I'm a generic toolbag, in which case I hope to meet an equally boring cog in the machine. Meh!

I'm active/athletic, recently graduated from a "snobby" Northeast school, enjoy real conversation, good wits, and my friends say I'm very caring/compassionate and trustworthy. I'm driven to achieve certain life goals, but am open to twists and turns! I grew up around New York, and love to travel the world/locally and wander for new people, food, culture, and pickup soccer games.

I find that I'm much less judgmental than most people. Around others, I tend to get good laughs, pure silliness, or spur some thoughtful debate - I'm okay with being wrong sometimes :) Bottom line... no matter who or what kind of person I'm around, I always find something to chat, argue, and/or laugh about.

Oh ... and gotta dig up some more pictures... sorry!

working, playing, learning, actively figuring out what's next.

what i spend a lot of energy on...

sports... soccer and martial arts for the most part.

music - love playing guitar, singing in the shower, and finding the melodies that tap into old memories, forge new ones, or just help me live in the moment.

cooking - big foodie, working on becoming a good cook. give me a good raw steak and i'll crack a big smile.

intellectual stuff? neuroscience, robots, politics, history, economics... i was a geography wiz in middle school. the capitol of azerbaijan is baku. eat it. anyway, i'm a straight-up nerd, I can talk about anything and want to learn learn learn.

lots of other stuff i enjoy really...

my elbows. they're sharp. and oddly dry.

omnomnomnom. i like eating books.

when i say i'm not judgmental, i mean it... i love all music, from classical to electronica to pop. you already know i'm a foodie - i especially love spicy, bold flavors (i wish we had good korean bbq in boston)... books and movies... a lot of stuff.

there's nothing you can't do without... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

but if i haaaaave to...
my family/friends
my legs/mobility
music
chocolate-covered almonds?
um, the senses...

oof this is kind of ridonk.

you.

and how we think.

and whatever's around me at the time.

catching up on random stuff, eating, chillin', music/movies whatever.

why ruin the surprise...
(that's my cop-out)

you want to, at all! internalize the fact that you have NOTHING to lose.
writing these profiles is inane, i hope i get some random messages...
