My name is Ryan, I'm 23 years old, and I live in Malden, which is just outside of Boston. I'm a full-time student, working on my BA in psychology at UMass Boston. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, and I'm okay with that for now. I kind of like the idea of not knowing what's next; but all the same, I'm eager to see what will happen.
I'd like to think I'm a pretty laid back, dare I say intellectual type? While I can't boast about having read a ton of books, I will say that I'm a sucker for intelligent conversation. Psychology, anthropology, sociology, philosophy -- I love it all. I love learning and talking about people, including myself. I'm very much a work in progress but I firmly believe that self-actuality and personal reflection are key to growth. The best conversations I've ever had have been with people who think about themselves out loud.
I'm a huge dork at heart; I love computers and video games. My best friend and I have a sick obsession with magical old crones and evil queens. I have a very vulgar sense of humor. References to female orifices make me laugh.
I'm always up for fun; I hate being stuck in the house. I love going to clubs in town, dancing, drinking, grabbing late-night snacks and stumbling home with my friends. I try not to take myself too seriously. I dance like an ass, and I have a damn good time doing it. Life is entirely too short for pretense and posturing, so please don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.
