eat my fucking heart out...

About Me

is this the part where i am supposed to say something clever and self-deprecating to win you over with my charm?...oh fuck...then i'm screwed. i am: a 27 year old alterna-gay kid trying to find my niche...somewhat of a lost child. eccentric, emotional, thoughtful, and can be introverted at times, but think of myself more as an ambivert. pretty good at reading other people. have a penchant for playful sarcasm. like to indulge in my excessive silliness. not really a whore, i just play one on tv...a bleeding heart romantic and a little anuptaphobic (fear of staying single) which ironically, often inhibits me from attempting to date. endlessly disappointed. cinephile and audiophile. a pretty colorful cat. a gemini and my personality definitely reflects that...i am manic and light - hearted/sullen and melancholy. there is a smile on my face/my head is in the oven. perpetually in between dysfunctional relationships. have lived in quite a few places, especially while "taking a break" from college (wisconsin, california, yellowstone national park, france, colorado, portland, and now san francisco.) i am definitely a work in progress... "soyez mystérieuses, soyez amoureuses, et vous serez heureuses."******current events****** i completed my bachelor of arts in psychology/french minor by studying in Paris for seven weeks this summer. i lived in montemartre near sacré coeur and took an avant-garde art history course and advanced level french language course at le centre parisien d'études critiques. after my parisian adventures, i moved to san francisco and am having a blast living, working, and playing in the castro. i intend to apply to graduate school for clinical psychology to pursue a doctorate (psy d.) next fall.
