About Me

TAKE CLASSES WITH ME!.. or better yet, just take classes the same days as me so we can hang out during my break. pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

PS. i might drop public speaking.

I go to SCCC in Riverhead, it's super sweet. Not really though. I enjoy arguing and debating, but I think it makes me come off as sort of an asshole sometimes, but really I don't take myself as seriously as it seems. I suppose I'm sort of quiet sometimes, not because I have nothing to say, but because I have nothing to say that most people care about, which is to say the things I find interesting are not the things most people I encounter find interesting. On the postive side this leaves room for endless sarcasm and terribly dry humor, which spews from my mouth at different rates depending on who I'm with. I'm often the only one laughing though, but these days thats good enough for me.

My Interests

My Friends, reading, writing, playing the piano poorly, fishing, debating, conversing, casual drinking, actualizing my human potential... etc.

I'd like to meet:

People who I can relate to. People who like to talk about more than what they saw on TV last night, or how drunk they were the other day, or how so-and-so is such a bitch... at least occasionally. People with a good sense of humor.

Music:

Tilly + the Wall
Two Gallants
OTMOP
Cursive
Ludwig Van Beethoven
The Good Life
Various Artists

Movies:

What the Bleep Do We Know!? was the most interesting movie I've seen lately. Still. And A Scanner, Darkly was also a great movie I saw recently.

Television:

The Office
Family Guy
Futurama
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Malcom in the Middle
The Boondocks
Mission Hill
South Park

Books:

Kurt Vonnegut is a new found favorite.

Heroes:

good people
