My Self-Summary

I was raised on giant robot cartoons and G.I. Joes and toy cars, and dirt and rocks and paper and glue. I have a lot of ideas, good and bad, but I'm not always so good about realizing them.

I like to walk around and find things and look at them and take pictures. I also like to just sit around at home spending time on various frivolous pastimes, especially if I can get a friend over. I like walking home late at night when it's cold out, even when the wind is killing me. I hate getting up in the morning. I like it when it's partly cloudy; on a really hot day, the sun gives me a headache after a while. I like the fall and the spring, warm/cool weather with a breeze. It's better when it's cold at night so I can wrap myself up in blankets, but it needs to be warm in the morning, or otherwise I won't want to drag my ass outta bed. I'm surprised how much I'm writing about the weather and sleeping. A friend of mine attributes my behavior to being raised by cats, but causality has yet to be demonstrated.

What I’m doing with my life

Trying to eat better and sleep better. Trying to read more. Watching less TV, but not intentionally. Living in a room that is more of a storage space for myself.

Absorbing visual imagery; type, illustration, graphics, photos. Taking a lot of pictures when I'm walking around. Making things out of paper and cloth and wood, and especially plastics, including styrofoam. Being stunned by things after I thought I was already jaded enough.

Working in another office. Cross your fingers; this one looks like it might stick!

I’m really good at

Making things. Making lists of things. Being enthusiastic, when I'm not tired. Explaining things to people (usually). Raising questions. Arguing. Being discreet around strangers, but saying whatever I think around friends (even when I shouldn't).

The first things people usually notice about me

Bad haircut, often need a shave. Fail to make eye contact with people because I'm glancing around at everything else.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

ARE ALL TERRIBLE and are an excellent medium to judge me through

The six things I could never do without

I hardly ever leave home without my keys, my wallet, my phone, my camera, my iPod, and a pen&paper. Sometimes, when I leave one behind, it ruins my day, but sometimes I don't even notice.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

What strangers who are near me are doing or thinking. What people I know who aren't near me are doing or thinking. What people's words and actions mean. What they interpret my words and actions to mean.

colors, shapes, patterns, images. facts, news and general information. robots and machine worship. narrative entertainment, cartoons, video games. internet culture and how I need to get out of it.

What I should eat. Making lists of things. What to do with my free time. How I'm going to create something useful or valuable. Whether I'm living too much in anticipation.

On a typical Friday night I am

Used to be: Watching cartoons with some SVA kids, walking around Manhattan.

Currently: Get out of work, spend some time in Manhattan, go home and sleep for eighteen hours.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm bad at getting to know people right at the start, and it sometimes means I make the worst of that chance and never get to make friends. Once I get over that first big hill of awkwardness and unfamiliarity, it's a quick slide into being totally comfortable with a new acquaintance, but it always takes me a long time to know how I really feel about someone.

Sometimes I think of someone I hardly ever see and notice how much one little gesture was worth to me, or look back on the time I've known them and wish I'd tried harder.

You should message me if

You're still reading this. Why not?

Don't you hate it when someone's like "hey, you seem interesting to talk to!" and then neither of us says anything else to each other, forever? Me too.

Intrusive questions can sometimes be the best way to get to know someone, but it often seems crass to actually do it.

Help me to help you to do something that we will like.
