I'm a pretty laid back person. I enjoy reading, preferably things that make me think, although comedy and escapism can be good to. I like dancing even though I'm not very good at it. I'm hopping to meet someone who's friendly and enjoys intelligent conversation.

Some hobbies I've been into include D&D, Magic the gathering, making chain/scale mail, and the occasional bit of miniature war gaming. I just recently decided to try my hand at growing some plants in my apartment, even though the lighting is abysmal. I only have 3 plants right now but I'm planing to grow more. I play video games sometimes but most of them don't hold my interest for very long, Civilization and Dwarf Fortress being the exceptions. I've also been known to come up with inadvisable physics projects involving plasma and microwaves. I don't really have anywhere to try them however, and that's probably for the best.

I just finished a masters degree in biophysics. I'm planning to do a Ph.D. but, not right away.

Not surprisingly I'm good at math and physics. Except for optics, which is my nemesis. I'm also pretty good at explaining things, I got a lot of practice working in the physics tutorial center. I'm looking forward to teaching classes once I become a professor.
Also sudoku. I play way to much sudoku.

Aside from my beard? I'm not sure, you tell me :)

Books:
Some of my favourites are Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Lord of the Rings, and Born to Run. I also like the authors Larry Niven and Terry Pratchett. I also quite enjoy Arthur C. Clark.

In terms of genera I like science fiction, non fiction, and fantasy. I also really like old sci fi where some of the things talked about have already happened or turned out differently in real life.

Movies/TV:
I never really go out of my way to see movies. I do still enjoy most of them when I do see them though. I haven't had a television that receives channels in over a decade and I can't say I miss it. I do sometimes watch TV shows online though. I sometimes watch The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and Myth Busters. I occasionally watch anime. I enjoy documentaries on almost any subject and will chose them over pretty much any tv show or movie. BBC Planet Earth is my favorite.

Music:
I have more or less random tastes in music. I'll know if I like something after hearing it a couple times. I tend to prefer things that have a solid beat to them though. My favourite melody is Greensleeves. Also symphony of science is awesome.

Food:
I enjoy Pasta, pizza, perogies, and oatmeal among other things. Chocolate is also nice. I have a bread maker that I use semi regularly since I really like fresh bread.

1) My friends and family.
2) The internet.
3) Learning new things.
4) Oatmeal. I eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every day.
5) Water. I don't just mean this in a basic necessity sort of way. Water is actually one of my favorite things to drink.
6) Hugs.

Ways of communicating concepts. Anytime I explain anything to someone I'll usually go over the conversation in my head many times and try to come up with ways of making what I explained make sense to as many different sorts of people as possible. I also spend time thinking about energy and environmental issues, how they might be solved and or what will happen if they aren't. Lately I've also been spending a lot of time thinking about philosophy and ethics.

You feel like it.
