My self-summary Propose an edit

not walking with purpose, but intensely wandering. my lone persisting interest is becoming rapidly and deeply interested in something only to just as rapidly lose interest in it soon thereafter; 282 and counting. scattered and often meaningless moments from childhood have been coming back to me lately. chillll even in the face of seven months 'til graduation without the slightest as to what the next step will be.

the two guaranteed paths to becoming my enemy: 1) whispering, 2) turning up your bass so loud that even when i have headphones on i can still -feel- it coming up from the floor.

i got layers like a jawbreaker.

self-summary is probably more accurate when i'm not on the spot: www.xanga.com/a_z

OkCupid: Now in French!
bonjour. malheureusement, parce que je ne suis pas de cours de français maintenant, j'ai déjà oublié beaucoup des mots français que j'avais appris. [et, probablemment, vous voyez que j'ai déjà oublié la grammaire française aussi.]

mais je pense que je peux écrire quelques choses qu'on peut comprendre: je m'appelle ricky, j'ai 21 ans. j'aime faire beaucoup de choses, mais je n'aime jamais les même choses pour longtemps -- elles deviennent ennuyeuses assez vite. je suis étudiant, mais le mai prochain je finirai. j'étudie la biologie, mais je dois dire que je ne l'aime pas; on peut dire, en fait, que je la déteste. donc, je cherche une idée qui va m'inspirer à faire des choses incroyables dans le futur. j'espère que je la trouver bientôt, parce que je ne pense pas que je survivrais une vie complètement sans direction. et vraiment, qui pourrait?

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

enjoying the six months i have left in the cushiest job i'll ever have. trying to wrap up this 'college' deal and get out of berkeley with sanity intact. obsessing over electoral maps. dabbling without dedicating.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

snappy comebacks, guessing totals at the checkout line, pulling out surprise victories (+ surprise losses), filling up notebooks with gibberish philosophy, scathing sarcasm, talking to you like i know shit about a topic when all i really did was scan through its wikipedia page, music recommendations, out-of-nowhere genuine empathy followed immediately by genuine scathing sarcasm.

and baking cookies

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

BOOKS: the stranger, 1984, the elegant universe, the golden compass trilogy [shit yeah], the sun also rises.

MOVIES: happiness [if you've seen this movie and you DIDN'T like it, we probly won't get along], amelie [yep!], science of sleep, my life as a dog.

MUSIC: a relentlessly detailed answer awaits you at http://www.last.fm/user/rickfactor. [i'd ignore girl talk, aaliyah, things of that sort -- that was all part of a short-lived phase. hopefully.]

FOOD: i don't know. anything i've never had before, i suppose. but i don't mean that in a fear factor kind of way.

TV [i don't watch it much these days, 'cept for these shows]: wonder showzen [RIP], the office. pre-11th season simpsons are pretty much comedy gold, too.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

eisley, lucid dreams, to-do lists, those surreal first few minutes after waking up.

and you can choose the last two -- my treat!

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

what makes you do what you do, paradoxes, the weight of first impressions, the feasibility of forest life, the big bang, song lyrics, what-ifs, self-perceptions, running for political office, all the standard metaphysical dead-end questions.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

water witching in the everglades.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

fly eyes scare me.

You should message me if Propose an edit

- ...you want to be pen-pals [the real kind].

- ...you want to be key-pals. [that's like computer penpals, and i totally thought i'd be the first person to ever use 'key-pals', but google says no.]

- ...you'd like to commend or scold me for something.

- ...you want to start a band with me. you don't need to know how to play anything, because i don't, either -- unless flute counts. and it doesn't.

- ...you don't not want to.
