About Me

Recently graduated from Georgia Tech and now living in Seoul, South Korea teaching English. I'm hoping while I'm over here I'll figure out what I want to do with my degree. Hopefully I'll find something that doesn't involve me sitting at a desk for the rest of my life. Right now, I'm planning to stay here until August 2008 and then I'm going to GA Tech's Shanghai campus for grad school.

I spend my free time studying Korean, hiking in mountains around Seoul, and generally just exploring Seoul.저는 미국사람이에요. 한국에서 영어 가루치고 한국어 공부하고 있어요. 8울에 한국에 나가고 상하이 있는 대학원 다닐거에요. 쉬는 시간에 친구랑 놀고 비디오 게임 하고 책을 읽고 웅동하는 것을 좋아해요.

My Interests

Movies, sports(playing not watching, despite the fact that I am one of the worst people out there whenever I play), reading, almost any outdoor activity, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart, chocolate chip cookies, video games, superhero cartoons

I'd like to meet:

Other movies can be found at http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat=1&sub=ANF& ;id=jurassic_bond

Television:

The 90's Batman cartoon is and will always be the best TV show ever. It was the first superhero cartoon I watched that didn't try to make sacrifices in story, dialogue, or characterization just to appeal to kids. It stayed true to who Batman was and until Batman Begins, was the best adaptation of him that existed outside of comics.

Honorable mentions go to Futurama, Family Guy, Daily Show, Firefly, Pinky and the Brain, X-Files, Arrested Development, and the Batman spinoffs(Justice League, Superman, Batman Beyond).

Books:

I started reading at a late age, but once I learned I just couldn't put books down. There's way to many to list, but I'll try to list some of my favorite books from various periods of my life.

Age 8: Matilda, Witches and anything else I could find by Roald Dahl, The Phantom Tollbooth, Hardy Boys, The Three Investigators
