Hi! I've just begun a graduate program at Notre Dame and was wondering what this brave new, online world might have to offer. I am energetic, and enjoy reading and staying active. Reading consumes the vast majority of my waking life--mostly school stuff, but lately the New Yorker (which I'm excited to, finally, have my own subscription to), The New Republic, London Book Review, Times etc. Aside from reading, I've lately been playing a lot of squash, probing the inner sanctum of Rolfs gym, trundling to and from campus on my bike, generally trying to eat more ethically (i.e. food coop and more hours spent cooking). I have a background in theater, and love trying new things.

I aspire to become a university professor, or teach in some capacity. In the meantime I am relishing the wonderful opportunity afforded by my program to accumulate knowledge and self-actualize.

rote memory, hockey (atleast compared to Americans lol), reading, punctuality (losing steam here).

People normally describe being arrested, nay prostrated by an overwhelming sense of, in the words of a recent (unrelated) acquaintance "breathtakinghandsomenss," Once your senses and bodily functions gradually return to you, will begin to discern my lapidary musclature, the saddlebag, rugged quality of my skin, my unmistakable musk.

One of each say, Hamlet (a play but still), mmm Good Will Hunting? I have an Ipod full of Great Big Sea at present (Newfoundland folk/rock band). Pizza, of course; however, Oatmeal and whole wheat pasta, the twin pillars as I call them, are much more representative of my austere student diet.

I'm beginning to suspect that the site compels me to write something here as a condition for advancing, thus, in no particuliar order--the objects that currently surround me: kleenex box, pen, ipad, cell phone, mouse, post colonial notes.

family, school, being more productive, my relationship with my teenaged son (played by fred savage).

reading or exercising most likely

I am willing to give okay cupid the old college try!

you're an easygoing person who likes to do active things and/or read and is not interested in a protracted online exchange.
