Likes: brushing my teeth, flossing, correcting grammar, bike riding, graphic design, white space, experimental typography, making and breaking the grid, color, texture, coffee, tea from chinese restaurants, greasy chinese food, indian buffets, red wine, bacon wrapped hotdogs, pork products, obsure facts i know that you don't know, thinking i'm smarter and deeper than i really probably am, penguins, tetris, squeezing gunk of out of my nose pores, defense mechanisms, avoidance coping, neuroticism, anxiety, hypochondria, internalizing, germaphobia, compulsions, witholding my inner spaz, philosopherizing, singing loudly and horribly to RENT, making 4 hour car rides into 7 and a half hour trips. i really like cheese and goldfish crackers. cheese is probably the best thing ever invented. (after those paper toilet seat protectors that is)

Dislikes: germs, mayo, doing laundry, pigeons, jello, confident ugly people, people not turning off their turn signals on the higway, PDA (when i'm not the guilty participant), vomit, lip crusties, Extreme Makover Home Edition, people who say "good" when they should say "well" or "that" when they should say "who"
