I think I'm generally a sweet and amusing person. Historically, people have tended to find my company enjoyable, and perhaps you will too. I like going to rock shows and reading books and making mix CDs and drinking bourbon and taking long walks through Chicago's many wonderful neighborhoods. I love to laugh and do so often. I curse a fucking lot. The obvious bores me. For reasons unknown to myself, I have a black hole in my vocabulary where the noun "construction paper" used to be. I have an instinctive sympathy for the underdog and a mild distrust of most authority figures. Conceptually, I am alternately fascinated with and terrified by the ocean and its creatures; actually, I am a Midwestern native and have no practical experience with the ocean whatsoever. I like to take pictures and wish I were better at it. I try my best to be happy.
My Ideal Person:
A big heart, patience, and a sense of humor. Expertise in some pursuit that excites you. A handle on your baggage. A story to tell. Familiarity, on more than just the literary level, with that old Fitzgerald chestnut about the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. Curiosity and genuine interest in the world around you. Confidence without certainty.
The last great book I read "American Prometheus." I've developed a bit of an obsession with Oppenheimer and the bomb in recent years.
My most humbling moment Whenever I can step back for a minute and remember it's not about me.
Favorite on-screen sex scene The torrid wall sex in "The English Patient" made quite an impression on me when I was 17 or 18.
The best or worst lie I've ever told Sure, I'll tell you when you're behaving irrationally.
If I could be anywhere right now The moon. Or, taking a nap.
Five items I can't live without fresh fruit and veggies, music, vision correction devices, writing implement(s), a good pair of jeans
