"Conservative Christian" can tell you a lot about me.

I have always liked the book of Job. It has gotten me through a lot of suffering that I have not understood, but then I'm also just good at learning from bad situations. I take everything, good and bad, as an opportunity to grow and improve my perspective on life.

I believe that I am meant to love forever, beyond this fleeting life. Among other loves that I believe extend beyond this life, and beyond my strong beliefs in a spiritual connection with God, I also believe in a spiritual connection with another human being, true love that, for some (for me), can also define our worldly purpose-- a match that, beyond its imperfections, is made perfect by the one perfect promise that is possible in this life between two people-- the promise of everlasting love-- love, as a promise-- a vow-- not a feeling that comes and goes when we despair that we do not fit as well as we might with another, but a commitment to forever and always find a way for each other, a promise to grow in one another's care-- to struggle and try above and beyond death-do-you-part with the foresight to know that this life struggle is only a flicker in our existence. Or maybe it is loyalty, commitment, or something in that realm I'm talking about, but "love" would be vile without those; I could not call it love at all.

I want to exist as a tool. Most people consider it a terrible word, but I understand my purpose as a tool through my existence as God's tool; I exist through His means to serve His ends as best I can. Through Him, through my prayer and searching, my dream is to help another fulfill her dream. I believe it is my purpose. I want her to openly tell me what she needs me to be so I can try to help her fulfill her dreams.

I consider myself a very lucky person... not that I'm sure I even believe in luck. I just don't take much for granted.

I am cheap. I like saving money as much as I can, so we can be in less debt and get out of it faster when it's time to buy a home. I still like doing nice things for special people, and like variety in my life, but I have as much fun staying home as going out; I never get bored, and appreciate people who can express their preferences, since I like mostly everything.

I make health and fitness a big part of my life. It is hard for me to imagine a good relationship that doesn't involve going to the gym together or, at least in some significant way, being active together.

I was a group fitness/exercise (Group X) instructor at 24 Hour Fitness. I like to teach yoga and cycle in particular. I play guitar, but mostly just so I have something to back me up when I'm singing. I also like to write, and a sort of "secret" aspiration I have is to have some of my poetry published, and later on in life (when I have kids for which to write them), to write children's stories.

Now I'm a law student. That means I'm boring, self-centered, and have no life.

Meter, rhyme, and writing in general. Explaining how I think/feel. Not taking things for granted.

I am critical; I notice things and react to them. I am also a deep thinker and my mind wanders frequently to the future; I am farsighted. I am told I over-analyze things. I am always trying to be better, to fit better with the world and people around me. I feel comfortable filling a variety of different roles; I consider myself to be a flexible person.

I have no greater aspiration than to be the best husband and father possible.

(A) Job, (the rest of) The Bible, The Riftwar books by Raymond E, Feist, and Harry Potter

(B) FoTR, Office Space, My Fair Lady, Moulin Rouge, Spiderman (2 and 3 especially), Beauty and the Beast, The Princess Bride, The Disney cartoon Robin Hood, Robin Hood Men In Tights, Disney's Sword in the Stone, The Hobbit, The Man in The Iron Mask, Monsters Inc, Phantom of the Opera, The Incredibles, 1776, Shrek 2, just to name a few.

(C) I listen to and enjoy all kinds of music. Though I don't typically listen to R&B or jazz, I even find things there that I like, on occasion.

(D) If you don't have Del Taco near you, you're missing out. I like Del Taco. I like my mom's spinach lasagne, and like most Italian food. I also like sushi, and am a big fan of the Thanksgiving-ish turkey dinner. I'm not picky, though. I like just about any food.

I could do without a lot more than most people. I take very little for granted, so I'm going to have some boring answers:

1) God 2) Love 3) Air 4) Water 5) Sleep 6) Food

Or, if that's too boring for you:

1) Commitment 2) Promises 3) Intimacy 4) Hugs 5) Kisses 6) Words

God, philosophy, science, and the magical properties of love.

Doing the same thing I do every night, Pinky.

I have an LJ in which I write on a deeply personal level where you can find out more about me than most people care to know.

It tickles your papayas.
