About Me

I'm typically untypical & full of contradictions - for example, I'm a perfectionist, but I'm too relaxed (and/or lazy) to reach my full-blown OCD potential. I always strive for the best but I hate type-A personalities. I'm attracted to intelligence but nothing turns me off more than pretension.I would write something more clever here, but for some reason every time I try, I become paralyzed by the white space...Someday I want to be a writer.

My Interests

In no particular order: traveling, reading, working out, volleyball, food, friends, people watching, bikram, french, music, other stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Malcolm Gladwell would have me believe that it is impossible to reconcile my conscious ideal with the desires of the more real me, the one that operates not from any illusions of free will, but from the automatic pilot of my unconscious, the motivations of which remain unknowable by the very definition of its nature. So, I guess the answer is: I dunno.
