I guess I might as well admit that friendster is pretty much dead

About Me

You know, I really hate myspace but somehow I feel the need to make myself findable to the world at large. And of course if I'm going to actually periodically look at my account then I need to have friends so I look less lame (don't be fooled, I'm still lame). So that's why I'm adding people like 3 years after the trend started.

At the moment I'm in a bit of a state of transition so identifying myself isn't so easy. For the past six years I'd answer questions about myself by explaining that I was a graduate student in sociology. I've recently stopped work on my dissertation but have not yet fully made the transition to the non-student world so I feel a little identityless.


I suppose the solution is to focus who I am rather than what I do. I'm a strange mixture of shy and outgoing. I may seem distant and standoffish at first but once I open up I'm boisterous and talkative. I'm a very open, honest, and trusting person and make a point of surrounding myself with people who appreciate that and don't take advantage of it. I've long said that I'd rather believe that people are basically good and sometimes be wrong than believe that people are basically bad and only see things that confirm that.

My Interests

reading, poetry, gardening, cooking, demography, statistics, video games, hiking, politics

I'd like to meet:

Cool people who like to cook or explore new restaurants. Fellow gardeners (particularly ones with heirloom seeds to share). People with a sense of adventure and desire to know more about the world around them.

Music:

I could make a long list and still barely scratch the surface of all the stuff I love.

Television:

TV? That's the thing I watch DVDs and play video games on, right?
