I'm in love with music. I fall for brilliantly written "classical" music, a good melody, interesting instrumentation, or thought-provoking lyrics. Or just a really good hook with words I can easily remember. ;) I cherish my family and friendships. I love spicy food. I like to stay up late. I have a fairly (very) liberal political point of view. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and improve. I frequently find myself at concerts. I value intelligence. I have a sense of humor: If I'm not laughing at your jokes, it's not because I'm uptight or joyless -- it's because you're not funny. I run. I don't believe in settling. My laugh has been described as a honk. I'm a huge nerd.
