I'm a VIU student studying anthropology and psychology. When my studies are completed, I hope to be an elementary school teacher. Or an anthropologist. Or a psychologist. Or a jazz singer. I can't decide. Maybe you can help me with that! Or, you know, give suggestions.

Okay. More about me! I'm pretty analytical and prefer deeper conversations and closer friendships to small talk and being acquaintance's. To be honest, I'm kind of terrible at small talk -- but I hear that's what people like to do, so I'm working on it! I can be introverted or extroverted, depending on the situation. Oh, and I'm a big fan of the laughing! Rolling on the floor, stomach hurts, shoulders shaking, eyes tearing up -- kind of laughing. So, you know, the real stuff.

I'm kind of a complex person. And open. And kind-hearted, I think. I have an inordinate amount of empathy for most people in most situations. I don't mesh well, however, with those who enjoy being cruel, arrogant or disrespectful to others. I love people who embrace their dorkiness/nerdiness/geekiness. I like complexity and people who can sustain an honest-to-goodness conversation.

And about relationships/friendships/whateverships? I'm looking for people to spend time with. Whatever happens naturally will happen naturally (Profound, I know!). I'm not looking for anything specifically. Mostly just connection or someone to spend a sunny afternoon with. Hopefully said person likes good movies!

Let's decide that later.
