About me:
I'm a very laid-back person. I love languages, and am trying to learn as many as I can (which is not many). I took Japanese for about six years, French for a year and a half, Greek (Attic) for an intensive semester, and Arabic and Chinese each for a semester. I'm a very logical person. I love mathematical puzzles and games. I took the LSAT for fun. I'm a good listener. Occasionally, I'm witty. I'm free with money, and consequently broke. I love going to shows (indie rock), but I hate "the scene". I'd like to earn my Private Pilot's License, and maybe go for a Commercial rating. I love travelling; I've been to all 50 states and over a dozen countries.

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people who prefer "whom" to "who", but aren't uppity because of it. People who get annoyed that this sentence is a phrase. People who know the difference between a choch and a tool, and don't fall into either category. People who like word puzzles and bad puns. People who are proud of their dorkiness.
DO NOT MySpace-MESSAGE ME. If you want a response in less than a month, email me.
