Who am I?  I’m a college student, currently a sophomore, attending Rochester Institute of Technology in New York (State).

I have emotions lately that predominate how I live my life.  I love words.  I overuse hyphens, and add -esque at the end of many words at random.

I have academic pursuits that are usually put first.  I consider myself intelligent and an intellectual, but I don’t show it.  In fact, I am so shy that it sometimes gets in my way.  I also have trouble figuring out whether to push or pull a door to open it.  You could say I need help in the “common sense” department of life.  I can’t cook.

I’m very self-conscious, and so I don’t believe in myself as much as I probably should.  I over-analyze the smallest of actions, and I’m a perfectionist.  I try as hard as possible to be kind to everyone, for no one human being is no more valuable than another.  I’ve been hurt before, so I try to stay level-headed at the same time.  I can’t help but put up walls.  I have major trust issues.

I’m a second degree black belt, so I can defend myself.  I was valedictorian of my high school, and right now I have a 3.9 GPA in college.  I’ve been playing piano for 12 years now.  I write a little here and there.  In terms of what I listen to, my taste is a fine mingling of pop, alternative, and alternative pop.  Lady Gaga is my favorite solo artist.

In terms of my sexuality, it is what it is.  I identify with being bisexual, but I think sexuality is fluid.  I am more attracted to men.  That’s all I feel obligated to say.

I have a wonderful boyfriend now.  He’s making life for me much more beautiful than it has been.  I am happy.

This is who I am.  But you can always find out more.
