About Me

Someday I'll move to Geneva, Switzerland and travel Europe on the weekends. Until then, I'm an engineering student hoping to better the human condition in a tangible way.
I like the phrase "companionable silence". As in, we walked together in companionable silence.Here's me Photos

Which Lolcat Are You?

Serious Cat
(34% Affectionate, 43% Excitable, 55% Hungry)

Hungry for knowledge in any internet forum, you demand decorum. Any off-topic remarks, absurd statements, or tomfoolery on the interweb is deeply frowned upon by you. Truth has no room for drollery.

The Which Lolcat Are You?

My Interests

electromagnetism, technical market analysis, photovoltaics, and crochet.Dangerous reading

I'd like to meet:

People willing to be good people. A mom I can cry to. A man I can trust. A friend that makes me laugh. People without Myspace accounts. And the friends of my friends. Alex Hornstein Do any of us, except in our dreams, truly expect to be reunited with our hearts' deepest loves, even when they leave us only for minutes, and on the most mundane of errands? No, not at all. Each time they go from our sight we in our secret hearts count them as dead. Having been given so much, we reason, how could we expect not to be brought as low as Lucifer for the staggering presumption of our love?-Stephen King
