Greetings!  :-)

About me: I'm studying to become a psychologist​ because I like to share experiences with people.  I'm excited about this, but I still get restless sometimes because I feel like I would like to expand my horizons.  I think this may involve eventually moving to another country which is kinda scary :/.  My goals in life are to eventually become wise and to eventually be a good father when I settle down to have a family.  In the intervening time, I plan on doing psychology research.

It is no easy task to connect with someone from a different culture, but I think it can be done.  I think that you just have to have faith in it for a while and try to be open.

Feel free to leave me a nice wall post :-) peace peace peace

I don't really have preferences for age or gender.

If you have a microphone, we should voicechat on Yahoo or Skype.  This can be awkward at first but also exciting!  I don't mind if your english isn't perfect, I promise =)

I can write only very very elementary chinese so I wouldn't be good at writing it.   But I would like to become fluent as quickly as possible so I wouldn't mind being more exposed to it.

people(what the heck do they do?), pictures, music, chess, computer programming,​ making up pet theories, dancing, hanging out at the library, meditation

"It's a scene in the edge of the universe,
which is dazzling as diamonds in the sunlight,
frighteningl​y beautiful, ah, violently colourful..."​
~Bola

"And we believed that everyone was scared like little lost children in their grown up clothes and poses
So we ended up alone here floating through long wasted days, or great tribulations​.
While everything felt wrong
Good words, strong words, words that could've moved mountains
Words that no one ever said
We were all waiting to hear those words and no one ever said them
And the tactics never hatched
And the plans were never mapped
And we all learned not to believe
And strange lonesome monsters loafed through the hills wondering why"
~ASMZ

"Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.
Never draw so close to the heat that you forget that you must eat."

"There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing."​
-Christiane Amanpour-

"Everyo​ne carries the room about inside them.
This fact is proved by means of the sense of hearing.
If someone walks fast and one pricks up their ears and listen-- say, at night--when everything round about is quiet.
One hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall."
~Max Richter
