I am thoughtful, curious, and quirky.
My Self-Summary
I like
traveling, meeting new friends, and
conversations within a smaller group setting (do not think noisy,
crowded bars). I enjoy
hiking and
camping too, although I'm not big on
fishing or hunting. Over the past year or so, I have watched a
surprising number of
Anime. I enjoy learning new words. I'd
like to become fluent in a second language, and more. I'm a nerd at
heart. I don't like clubbing, or the gay scene. People don't always
understand my sarcasm, but in general I'm a really laid back person
with a self-deprecating sense of humor. I will definitely tease
you, but will poke fun of myself as well.
I'm out to my twin sister, and some of my friends. Not out to my
parents yet, or extended family. Right now, my priority is just
meeting some nice guys for friendship. My faith is a really
important part of my life. I have friends with various political,
philosophical, and religious (or atheistic) beliefs, and have a
tremendous amount of respect for them. Agreement is not necessary
to be a friend, but mutual respect is. Having said that, I wouldn't
be interested in committing to a relationship with someone who does
not share similar Christian beliefs. Sola gratia. I'm pretty
traditional in that sense.
Politically, I don't fit into a box.
I'm sure if I tried I could think of more, but I'm done for now.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm in law school. I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up,
and kind of hoping I never really grow up. I'm going to the
gym often to counter
the fact that I sit on my butt and read for classes so much.
I’m really good at
Procrastinating (but who isn't?). I like to think I'm a good
writer, but it depends on what the purpose of the writing is. I was
decent at piano years ago, but stopped playing back in ~2003. I'd
like to get back into it some day. I like to think I am good at
thinking logically, and I tend to be diplomatic. Recently I was
told what the characteristics of a libra are (my astrological
sign), and I think it's a surprisingly accurate description.
The first things people usually notice about me
No clue, you'd have to ask them. I've had comments on my voice.
It's kind of deep.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Count of Monte Cristo, War and Piece, the Lord of the Rings
(the books and movies, they were good too!), Wheel of Time series,
and many, many others.
Movies: I tend to watch movies for enjoyment, and occasionally for
self-education. My favorite tend to be comedy, and horror films
don't usually interest me. Movies I like which come to mind are I
<3 Huckabees, and Ever After. I also like the X-Men movies, and
the first Spiderman movie.
Music: I played piano for 10 years and saxophone for six. Piano
became my first love, and my favorite music is still classical
piano (Romantic Era; think Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff, but
certainly others as well). Apart from that, I enjoy a large variety
of music, but I don't pay much attention to the writer or artist
who performed it. I'll listen to most things besides [most] country
and rap.
Food: I enjoy a lot of foods, but lately it's been Thai and
Italian. Actually, Italian has always been one of my favorites. Not
big on vegetarian dishes.
The six things I could never do without
Christ, my twin sister, my friends, my computer, my imagination,
pumpkin pie?
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My faith, my future, and whatever story line from a book or movie
that I was recently into.
On a typical Friday night I am
Talking with my friends in Arizona, or putzing around online.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm gay.
