CURRENT MISSION

To survive till Tuesday.

ABOUT ME

I'm an extroverted introvert and well socialized nerdy gamer. As much as I enjoy video games and science, I also really enjoy conversation and going out dancing.

Personality: I consider myself to be pretty polite and thoughtful. I try to read situations and act accordingly. I like to see others smile and I always strive to make sure that someone I've met is better off for it. I'm simultaneously happy-go-lucky and jaded, which is at least as confusing a situation as it sounds, but it seems to work out alright.

PHILOSOPHY

Always remember to think and feel, and to listen before saying too much. No fear. There are no mistakes, only happy accidents and opportunities to learn. Turn down for what!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: I've started my own business making gourmet chocolate-covered pretzels, designed a few games, won some tournaments, made some art, and independent of outside sources, invented the pomodoro technique and some famous school of philosophy. I should probably write a book.

Seen: I've taken road trips across the United States, and I flew to Japan and got to stay the night at a Buddhist temple.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been doing a lot of research on how to achieve one's dreams. If there's something you want out of life but haven't found the time or courage to get it, I am one of the best people you can talk to.

I'm also pretty good at making a tasty meal out of just about any pile of ingredients. I'll volunteer to make dinner and show you how it's done ^^

If you're interested in the language or culture of Japan, I have a lot to share on that subject.

Chocolate is my life and work, so I could show you all about that, and maybe hook you up with some samples :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share my skills and knowledge. I'll: Make meals
Share chocolate
Fix computers
Consult on technology and dream acquisition Teach Japanese language, culture and history
Help you beat a level in Super Mario Brothers Fix broken stuff around your house like a handy man (tools and materials needed)
