I'd like to think of myself as a nice guy, but then again I'm not sure how many people would want to think of themselves otherwise. I love finding humor in the everyday. I have a tendency to talk and would sacrifice productivity for a decent conversation. I never stop asking questions, which I realize sometimes doesn't work to my advantage. I have come to really enjoy living in LA and love experiencing the city. I also tend to overuse "I" as the first word in my sentences.

I mesh well with the academic lifestyle (I'm a grad student by trade), but I like having balance in my life too. I spend most of my days doing research of some sort and sometimes also my nights. I hate being pigeonholed, whatever the situation, and I love breaking stereotypes. One of my favorite compliments was being called a Pandora's Box (I'm hoping it was meant in a good way).

I'm looking to meet people, however it may turn out. I am really friendly, so don't hesitate to give me a yell.

I'm a pretty traditional guy for a first date. Coffee or a drink are my usual, sometimes dinner. As long as there is good conversation to be had, I'm game.
