Hello! I'm Amy. This is my okcupid profile. I am currently in a happy long-term relationship, so I'm not looking for a guy in that sense. I could always use more friends, though. I'm a pretty cool person, if a bit on the nerdy side. I think I have a good sense of humor. I enjoy intelligent conversation. I really enjoy high quality film, television, and literature. I think that those media can be a wonderful form of art as well as entertainment, and feel there is a lot to be learned about life through great story telling.

I'm currently working on a Liberal Arts degree with a concentration in Humanities and Social Thought. Basically I'm learning lots of fun philosophy and history and all that. I don't know what I'm going to do with that knowledge. I might do a joint major in English because I love writing. Might go to law school so I can actually make some money later. Not sure at this point. I'm also planning on marrying my boyfriend of three and a half years and being awesome. Currently I am being a slacker and living off my savings, just enjoying my summer.

I'm good at making people laugh, arguing philosophy and politics, and writing. I used to write a bit of fiction in high school, but fell out of the habit. I'm also pretty knowledgeable about films.

I'm incredibly shy around new people, unless I'm already with friends. I also have big blue eyes.

I read one or two books a week for class, so I don't have as much time for leisure reading during the school year as I would like. That said, I enjoy the collective works of David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs, some Chuck Palahniuk, the Harry Potter series, Middlesex, the Poisonwood Bible, A Home at the End of the World, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Flesh and Blood, Confessions of B Movie Actor, My Sister's Keeper, and others. I've enjoyed about half of the dozens of books I've read for college so far. I'm not going to name drop just to sound smart, but if I think of any I really loved, I'll be sure to add them.

I'm definitely a tv on dvd person. I love Arrested Development, Six Feet Under, Firefly, Spaced, Dexter, House, and the Mighty Boosh. I'm not a crazy anime person, but I have seen and enjoy Azumanga Daioh, Trigun, and Ouran High School Host Club.

My favorite films include American Psycho, Moulin Rouge, Love Actually, There Will Be Blood, Punch Drunk Love American Beauty, Thank You For Smoking, I Heart Huckabees, Evil Dead II, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, V For Vendetta, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Donnie Darko, Rushmore, Fight Club, Gladiator, The Professional, Magnolia, Anchorman, The Prestige, Amelie, Batman Begins, Iron Man, The Dark Knight, WALL-E, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I watch a lot of movies. These are just a few of my favorites.

I love music with great lyrics, making The Mountain Goats my favorite band, hands down. I also enjoy The Decemberists, Bright Eyes, Beck, Radiohead, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay, Modest Mouse, Weezer, The Beatles, Ben Folds, Neutral Milk Hotel, Scissor Sisters, and a lot more.

I like food. Sushi is good. Casa Ole queso dip. Italian. Fish. Meat. Vegetables. Cake. I don't know, really.

I know it didn't ask, but my favorite games are Portal, The Sims, Half-Life 2 (which I haven't played much of, honestly, but I need to), Phoenix Wright, Chibi Robo, and all that old school Mario stuff.

My boyfriend, my family, the internets, intelligent friends, oxygen, Batman.

Life. Death. The nature of reality. What constitutes morality. Other philosophical things as well. Whenever I have relationship problems or something like that, I like to psychoanalyze myself a lot. Psychology interests me a lot. Why we act the way we do.

Also, the less serious stuff. I think about the deep subjects, but too much ends up depressing me. I'm not an incredibly optimistic person when it comes to some things, but I have a lot going for me in my life right now, and I try to focus on the things that make me happy.

Hanging out with my boyfriend and other friends, watching a movie, maybe going to the mall, getting sushi. Quoting Arrested Development when appropriate. Late at night I'm probably online, browsing the Something Awful forums or Stumbling.

That'll change once I'm back at college next week. Then it will be reading assignments and essays and studying. Oh my. =( ...oh wait, that's late Sunday night. Friday I'll probably be playing house with my boyfriend in the dorm, making dinner and watching movies and playing board games all night. Oh, I'm so excited to go back. It's nice being being on my (our) own.

I know my way around a 20-sided die.

Also, I can do a dead-on impression of Beaker from the Muppets. It is a sight to see.

We share some of the same interests, and you are not an idiot. I made this profile to make new friends, so message away. Those who fear rejection are probably the ones to which I'd be mostly likely to respond, so don't be shy. =D I'm weird like that.
