I'm pretty new to Philadelphia. I was in Boston before that, Jersey/NYC before that and in Albany even before that. In a nutshell I would say I'm a pretty active person. I do work a lot, to reiterate, I work A LOT. However, I try my best not to let it entirely take over my life, and win that battle about half the time. When not doing work, I like to run or go to the gym, read, cook, have dinner gatherings, check out the various coffee shops and restaurants I've yet to try, creative endeavors, etc. etc. However, I never watch TV because I feel like there's always something better I could be doing. Also, I have this weird thing about being at home; I really can't stand it unless I'm cooking, sleeping or in that weird "I'm awake but not enough to leave bed" state of mind.

I feel like this is making me out to be way boring and much nicer than I really am. Whatever pretty pictures this description might be painting, imagine much more ridiculousness and that's probably more accurate. I can't help but to write in a very formal way, but that's probably the last word I'd use to describe myself in reality.

Right now I'm here getting my master's. I used to work as an architect until the economy went down the shitter, and for some reason I decided that I should further get myself cornered into architecture nonsense with another degree. I give it another few years before I decide to do something completely different.

recursive aggregation, making terrible architecture jokes, the computer, functioning on 2 hours of sleep, making guacamole, drinking coffee, pretending i'm from the hood, somehow getting into situations i never thought possible

My friend said that the first thing he thought about me was that I looked like Mona Lisa. I am not really sure how I feel about this...

These things change on a regular basis.

Right now I'm reading Emergence by Stephen Johnson and The Evolution of Useful Things by Henry Petrowski. I just finished Sex, Drugs + Cocoa Puffs and thought it was awesome.

Movies...I rarely watch them.

Right now I'm listening to Ratatat, Girl Talk, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bob Dylan and RJD2.

I am a pretty picky eater, which is what spawned my interest in cooking. In general though I try my best to eat things that are actual food and not food products. I come across as a health food nut, but I've also been known to eat ridiculous quantities of junk food.

coffee, exercise, interesting places, computers, awesome people, motivation

emergent properties, biological systems, agent based systems, happy hour, the future, sleeping

sadly more and more of my Fridays are spent doing work. Though I do make sure to hit up my school's happy hour. Sometimes I also have a dinner party with friends or go out to the bars. I need to work on doing more of the latter and less of the former.

I have a legitimate issue with Comic Sans.

you feel like it?
