"I'm coming home December 12th!"

About Me


Like every college kid of our generation, I'm trying to somehow change the world. :P

My Interests

My deepest passions would lie in the arts - visual, musical, language, and performing. This may lead to hours of secluded writing and painting or hours of lively conversations about whatever comes to mind. I also have a fond appreciation for the beach. I used to swim and play water polo, so I've always had a strange attachment to the water. I'm also from Orange County, so the beach has always been a part of my life.

I'd like to meet:


Anyone with passion.

Music:

I typically find myself listening to the more acoustic, soft rock genre, or as most of my friends would classify, "emo/angsty" music. However, there are nights when I need my rap and hip-hop -- music to get that body movin'. Overall, I'd listen to anything, really.

Movies:

Memento, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, X-Men, X-2, Batman Begins, Moulin Rouge... I typically watch stupid teen comedies for pure entertainment or often find myself indulging in nostalgiac home movies.

Television:

FRIENDS, Heroes, The Amazing Race, The Simpsons, Reality TV (in general, ranging from the intellectual to the trashy).

Books:

Hop on Pop, Walk Two Moons, The Giver, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Separate Peace, Macbeth, Heart of Darkness, Oedipus Rex, The Joy Luck Club... As my meager list suggests, I really need to read more.
