I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Am ambitious nerd fond of reading, exploring, art, and other such nonsense. Would like to be meandering, not lost. Also seem to be opposed to sentences beginning with 'I'. Am supportive of run-ons and fragments.

My Interests

2-round election systems and campaign finance reform; Cheese and things that go with cheese; Coffee, sweet coffee; Dancing in inappropriate places and at inappropriate times; Exploring nooks, caves, and other such crevices; Finding new sushi places and playing with uneaten sushi while eating its sushi friends; Intelligent poetry; Looking for new music; Modern art that's better than something I could make while drunk; Reading classics and attempting to develop interests in authors who aren't dead yet; Red (yes, the color); Rugby; Soccer when Manchester United and Germany lose; Shiny objects; Stumbling upon architectural wonders; Trying and judging restaurants (French, New American, Japanese mostly); Wanderlust that fills my passport and empties my wallet

I'd like to meet:

People who will hand me slow-drip coffee in the morning and Jameson anytime after noon. And someone with access to monkeys that I can play with. Never trust someone who doesn't like monkeys, but never trust a monkey.

i got a FEVER! [and it isn't for more cow bell]

why does having a fever make your head feel like it weighs 500 lbs? like the muscles in my neck were the only ones that i never utilized at the gym?
