Hey guys, my name is Arthur, and it is an honor to address you by my obscure, generally unaccessed homenode. As it is a miracle that you are here in the first place, I'll keep things short and sweet: I am now a high school graduate who is looking forward to my flight to Sarasota on the 18th of August to attend the New College of Florida. The gameplan is to major in Religious Studies, and then go for either a Juris Doctor or Doctor of Philosophy in Religion. I enjoy reading and writing (primarily poetry and essays), meditation, sports (table tennis, matkot, soccer, boxing, parkour -- snowboarding, when I can) and hustling the greenery to keep the sprockets lubed.

My favorite way to acquaint myself with someone is to ask him (or her... of course) about his favorite -- and least favorite -- things. In hopes that this is a favorite method of yours, I will leave you with a telling list of favorites and least favorites:

Favorite Novel: "The Human Comedy" by William Saroyan
Least Favorite Novel: I hate all bad literature equally, although I am known particularly for my hatred of "As I Lay Dying", by William Faulkner.

Favorite Poem: "Before Dawn," by Algernon Charles Swinburne
Least Favorite Poem: Any piece by a Beatnik -- or Charles Bukowski

Favorite Philosophers: Sa'adia Gaon, Averroes, Niccolo Machiavelli, Baruch Spinoza, Christian von Wolff, Emanuel Swedenborg, Frithjof Schuon
Least Favorite Philosophers: Plato, Plotinus, Soren Kierkegaard, Frederich Nietzsche, Jacques Derrida... and so many others...

Favorite Movie: Two way tie -- "Annie Hall" and "Circle of Iron"
Least Favorite Movie: "Izo" (except for the part where Izo throws the huge rock at his mother's head -- that's fucking hilarious)

Favorite Fashion Designers (Pour Homme/Pour Femme): Gianfranco Ferre / Franck Sorbier
Least Favorite Fashion Designers (Pour Homme/Pour Femme): Comme des Garcon / Yves Saint Laurent
