there are no ordinary people.

About Me

expertise: sarcasm, procratination, inappropriate laughter, mismatched clothes. essentials: bread-chocolate-coffee-cigars, organic baby carrots, MUSIC, my ipod.I make lists. Social situations are best experienced when uncomfortably awkward. I tend to describe myself by what I am not, what I dislike. I am full of opinions, and constantly analyzing. NYC is where I live, but my home has yet to be found.

My Interests

observing others, writing down my thoughts, drinking tea and coffee, walking alone on the streets of nyc, travelling, remembering Danmark, hiding out in bookstores

I'd like to meet:

those who don't pretend to have it all together, broken people.

Music:

please.

Movies:

I have attention deficit disorder.However, I enjoy movies which create a world that will absorb me for two hours, a world I would want to return to again and again.dvds: freaks & geeks, arrested development (i loathe commercials)

Television:

no thanks. free from that monster since '99

Books:

C.S. Lewis-The Weight of Glory (if you only read one chapter, read this)http://www.doxaweb.com/assets/flash/doxa.swf

Educational Purgatory

College is a detour in my mind. It is purgatory for young adults. Post-high school most of us are not yet ready for the real world so we must embark upon a journey of 2+ years of education- a proc...
