ABOUT ME

I never really get bored since there's always something to study or do. I'm pretty sociable & love talking philosophy & life stories with new people. I'm a very hard worker usually working well over 40 hours a week & always keeping up with my studies & piano. Sometimes I can be hard to get a hold of & hang out with but I'm almost always able to make some time for my friends.

Interests

I spend most of my free time studying piano or languages and playing games with friends. I've always loved history & archaeology & whenever I can afford to I work on my degree. There's so much I want to learn I'm a little distracted & tend to put too much on my plate all at once like instead of concentrating on one language for a couple of hours a day I'll spend a half hour each on four. I love cooking many different cuisines from falafel to sushi. I've always wanted to learn salsa, swing & ballroom dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was waiting tables in Las Vegas one time when a family with several young children from Tehran came in for breakfast. I was able to speak some Farsi with them & the kids were thrilled as I was the first person they'd talked with in the country. They came back in for breakfast every day they were here & when they left they said I would be welcome to stay as a guest in their house any time I could make it to Iran.
I almost never hear my name called when it's not directed to me but one day at Cedar Point in Ohio I heard my name 6 times in just a few hours. Then at the 7th time I heard my name it was finally for me. When I turned around a girlfriend I had been dating a few weeks ago but had moved off to college just happened to be there too & spot me. We spent the rest of the day together, it was by far the most amazing day of my life.
