I'm definitely not a partier, preferring small gatherings of close friends. I love languages: Classes I've taken include Japanese (six years), French (two years), Ancient [Attic] Greek (intensive semester), Arabic (semester), and Chinese [Mandarin] (semester). I'm very laid back and easy to get along with, but I have a hard time meeting people, because I'm shy without the support provided by having good friends around.

At some point in my life, I made a list of ten rules to find my perfect woman. I could go back now and list ten crushes to break each one of those. So, no hard-and-fast rules. That said, I tend to be attracted to girls of extreme height, tall or short (If the average woman is 65.5 inches, and the standard deviation is 3 inches, I like girls outside 1-sigma). Ha, and any girl who wants to meet me after that demonstration gets bonus points.
