I think my photo album "All You Need to Know About Me, Ever" sums this up pretty well, but I'll give it a shot. I'm just recently twenty-one years old (although when I grow my beard out I look about twenty-six),​ and I'm attending school in Davis, CA. Until recently I was a Mathematics major (and before that philosophy, but most philosophy majors are douchebags),​ but then I decided I wanted a social life again so I switched to Middle Eastern Studies.

I'm an ex-professio​nal cook and current amateur cook; I make my living as a tutor in math and English composition (which pays much less than cooking but also causes me much less stress). When I grow up I want to be a ghost.

I made this profile because I like making friends, and because some day I'd like to have traveled the entire world—and while I'm working on that I'd like to know some people who can show me around. So let's trade letters! I prefer real letters because it gives me less of the feeling of talking to a machine, but if you're a stickler I can do e-mail.

¡Hola! Me llamo Guillermo. Pienso que los fotos en "All You Need to Know About Me, Ever" describen mi personalidad​ bien, pero si estas doliendo a conocerme mejor supongo que puedo ayudar. Tengo 21 años (pero cuando tengo una barba, miro como si tengo 26), y estoy estudiando en Davis, California. Mi especialidad​ es en los Estudios del Oriente Medio; era la matemática, pero yo quería una vida social.

Soy un ex cocinero profesional y actual cocinero amateur; ahora trabajo como un tutor del escrito y de la matemática. Trabajando como un tutor paga menos de trabajando como un cocinero, pero me causa menos estrés también. Cuando crezca, quiero ser un espectro.

Me uné esto sitio porque me gusta conocer gente, y porque algún día espero a viajar por todo el mundo—y quiero conocer alguna persona para mostrarme los alrededores.​ ¡Así que vamos a ser amigos por corresponden​cia! Prefiero las cartas a los e-mails porque no me hacen sentir como si estoy hablando con un robot—pero si te gusta, puedo escribir e-mails (pero no voy a disfrutarlo)​.

Tell me something interesting.​

...

Me digas una cosa interesante.​

I enjoy writing, dancing, making music, and cooking food, so I usually spend my time doing one (or a combination)​ of those things.

I have two bands: one is kind of electro-danc​e-punk, and the other is folk. I write plays that I perform on the street with my friends (and occasionally​ in theatres with my schoolmates)​ and short stories that I read to people. I cook—well, I cook breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Sometimes snacks or brunch also.

I like drinking coffee, and I write down my interesting thoughts on any piece of paper I can find.

I really like drinking coffee.

I really, really like drinking coffee.

...

Me gusta escribir, bailar, jugar musica, y cocinar; así me paso mi tiempo libre haciendo una (o una combinación)​ de esas cosas.

Yo juego en dos bandas: una es electro-danc​e-punk, y la otra es folk. Escribo teatros que realizo con mis amigos en la calle (y a veces en teatros con mis compañeros de clase). Yo cocino—bueno​, cocino desayuno, almuerzo, y cena.

Me gusta beber café, y yo escribo mis pensamientos​ interesantes​ sobre cualquier papel que puedo encontrar.

"There is no difference at all between samsara and nirvana; there is no difference at all between samsara and nirvana."​

"Every time a gay or lesbian finds love at the parade... there's money to be made! Each time two grooms they paint that wedding hall and lavender's the shade, there's money to be made! Think of all the carriages and four white horses—there​'s millions lost from all your disapproving​. Think of all the lawyers for the gay divorces—thi​nk of the tattoo removing!"​—Neil Patrick Harris in "Prop 8—The Musical"​

"Scienc​e--in other words, knowledge--i​s not the enemy of religion; for, if so, then religion would mean ignorance. But it is often the antagonist of school-divinity."​—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

"Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust."​—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

"The bigot is like the pupil of the eye: the more light you put upon it, the more it will contract."​—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Okay, yeah, I guess I use quotes from Holmes a bit too often.

"We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men."—G​eorge Orwell

"Many people genuinely do not want to be saints, and it is probable that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never felt much temptation to be human beings."​—George Orwell

"There is something more horrible than hoodlums, churls and vipers, and that is knaves with moral justificatio​n for their cause."​—P.J. O'Rourke (not a big fan of his and I disagree with him on most every political philosophy, but he does have some pretty good quotes)

"Learn,​ my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed."​—Count Axel von Oxenstierna

"The quantity of books in a library is often a cloud of witnesses of the ignorance of the owner."​—Count Axel von Oxenstierna

"A careless song, with a little nonsense in it now and then, does not mis-become a monarch."​—Horatio Walpole, Fourth Earl of Orford

"Life is a comedy to him who thinks and a tragedy to him who feels."​—Horatio Walpole, Fourth Earl of Orford
