About Me
I am going to try to give an honest assessment of myself. I won't try to avoid the bad things, because they are bound to come out in the end.I am a bit of a nerd. Not the science-fiction, video-game sort. I guess I try to be an intellectual, and I don't think I am a total failure at that. I am working on a PhD, and I read a lot, write a lot, and generally try to understand how the world works. 1. I have ideas and opinions about many things, but I believe that being convinced I am wrong about something is not a sign of weakness. Although you are welcome to try to change my mind about that.2. I find that I can talk to some people for hours on end, and others I can't make a conversation last 5 minutes. I have no idea how to predict whether someone will fit in either category.3. I pretty much never get angry. As with most traits, this is a great asset to have as well a great weakness.4. I like to talk about things on an intelligent level. I study economics, so I tend to have a pragmatic/rational approach to philosophy, politics, world issues, etc. I love to talk about anything, particularly with people who disagree with me entirely.5. I believe there is not such thing as evil. It exists only in the way darkness or cold exist; it is an absence.6. I believe you can earnestly, sincerely, and with all your heart not have a strong opinion about something or believe in a middle ground. Being passionate or interested in something does not have to mean advocating an extreme.7. I tend to be the person people take their problems to. I think this is because I don't respond with platitudes.8. I believe it is OK to go to a movie alone.9. I am rarely scared, except of squid and octopi, which terrify me.10. I am very loyal. This can allow people to take advantage of me, but I choose this over being cynical.11. I believe the Leafs will win the cup soon.I am not really sure what I am looking for, anything from friends to dating to a reasonably serious relationship, but not a one-night-stand. Also, I have never ever been able to describe what I look for in a date. Completely opposite characteristics can be really awesome on different people. If I tried to describe the sort of person I am looking to meet I would end up eliminating others, who I might rather meet. None of this means I don't know what I am looking for in life. I know exactly what I am looking for, I just don't know where you fit in until I meet you.FavouritesBook: East of EdenMovie: The Shawshank RedemptionBand: The PoguesTV Show: M*A*S*HFood: Pineapple with chocolate sauceOne final thing, I keep going back and forth about whether to include this. I am a grad student, but I am decently funded from school and have some savings, so I am not broke. In some ways I feel it is tacky to put this, but I can see how some people might legitimately want to know this, and feel they shouldn't bring it up. So there it is, not rich (yet), not broke.Ask if you want to know anything else. I like to wander and chat. I also am fine with things like coffee or drinks. It seems like those are essentially just facades for having a conversation, but if someone really enjoys cafes or pubs, I do too.But I also do like to let the date decide what to do. As long as it is not something like a club or a movie, where we are likely to not notice who we are there with, I am fairly indifferent, so if the date has a preference, I would rather go along with that.
