I am currently serving as a proselyting mission in the Oklahoma Tulsa Mission until Fall 2008. After that, I plan on getting a Masters, but I have no idea in what (I've considered Astronomy, Physics, Engineering, Linguistics, and Archeology so far).

I have all these things in my head, but I can't seem to get them out (unless it's math). I'm working on this. One thing I can do now is play the guitar. What I'd love to do is be able to create almost anything: a tube radio, a piano, an electric motor....

I love to learn. About anything: music theory, pre-1900 Middle Eastern history, underwater basket weaving...

I love languages, and I love to play with words. I love a good metaphor like a good tune from your early teens. I want to learn an obscure foreign/dead language and teach it to my family.

I'm a big believer in sticking it to the man. If given too many rules and limits, I will go out of my way to break them. This is why I do not like BYU.

I value blunt honesty, but not brutality. I'd prefer "I'm not interested" rather than "I'm busy" when I ask a girl on a date.

In order not to worry about feeling awkward in a situation, I'll make it even more so, and then point out that I'm feeling awkward.

I love to play stereotypes. I'll pretend to be the stuck up, ignorant American, saying the US is the greatest nation because we went to the moon, can wipe anyone off of the face of the planet, and have better dentists.

Right now I am seriously interested in linguistics. At present, I am doing a study on gerunds and particles. I'm also listening to a lot of Beatles and Led Zeppelin lately, and have been able to figure out a few songs. I like to read books when I get some time to do so. I've been working on the New Jedi Order series off and on, and absolutely can't wait for Harry Potter 7! I'm becoming more intersted in India (wrote a 14 page paper on the Hindi language for a linguistics class, and I've fallen in love with their lime pickle!).
