I am the shy, book-wormish type. I spend an awful amount of time reading, especially 19th century russian fiction.
My music tastes generally fall into the punk/emo/ska/indie genres, although I sometimes listen to other stuff as well. Favorite bands include: jimmy eat world, rufio, a perfect circle, time to fly, modest mouse, goldfinger, green day, pennywise, bad religion, etc.
Politically I am a libertarian/extreme liberal, although I am also an avid animal rights activist.
