Things I like: noodles, fish, hot tea, standardized tests, my computer, pretty people, making lists, quality pens, cleaning products, moisturizer.

Knowing a little bit about everything. Keeping lists. Organizing things... all things. Whiling the hours away in front of my computer. Using the resources available to me. Micro-adjusting my behavior and personality to mimic yours, or approximate who I think you want me to be. Spending money (mostly on food). Bossing people around. Reading. Writing. Quitting while I'm ahead. Getting distracted from my work. Prioritizing. Rationalizing.

I am generally NOT: on time, graceful, athletic, "cool," partying, artsy, romantic, cooking, argumentative, able to remember anything of any use, stingy, funny on purpose, coordinated, confrontational, watching TV, terribly clever, empathetic, rude.

I have a baby face, but I am an old soul.

(A) Oryx and Crake (Margaret Atwood), The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury), Le Petit Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), Anger (Thich Nhat Hanh)

(B) I don't really watch many movies.

(C) Mostly rather disappointingly mainstream music, although from all genres. I also have a soft spot for nostalgic children's music (Wee Sing, Raffi, Charlotte Diamond, Michael Cooney), 90s radio hits, and Glenn Gould's Bach recordings.

(D) I like noodles, cheese, hot tea, eggs, and fish. I will eat almost everything, but I like those particularly.

The human mind can create conflict. It can also create peace. To find peace in the world we must find peace in ourselves. There is no higher happiness than peace. (The Buddha)

You have a question, you know me from somewhere else, or you think we will have good conversations.

However, I will probably not reply to you if: You are creepy. You are incapable of at least sounding intelligent. All you say is "hi." OKCupid says we are more likely to be enemies than friends. It is clear that you did not put any effort into filling out your profile.
