I just moved to Portland last summer to be with my girlfriend. I'm a bit of a bookworm who likes to jump off cliffs and play in water (liquid or frozen), go hiking, camping and backpacking. I love to dance to 80's, goth and industrial. I'd like to take some ballroom and swing classes, tube down the clackamas and go snowboarding in the near future. I'm also looking for swimming holes and places to go cliff jumping.

(It has come to my attention that some people are not familiar with cliff jumping. For enlightenment click here.)

I am Amazing, Wonderful, and Humble

I may be getting older but they can't make me be a grownup dammit!

Sardines.

Pointing out the obvious.

Procrastinating.

Yet still getting things done.

I rock the cowbell.

My smile... how cliché. And apparently I keep on smiling even when the idiot in front of me makes me want to stab myself in the head with a fork.

A sense of adventure
Dreams
Hope
Cynicism
My inner child
and cheese...

What would happen if time travel actualy was possible?
Where do I want to go camping next?
Why don't more people my age want to play tag or hide and seek?
When are you going to stop denying how incredibly attracted to me you are?

Working sadly. I'm always up for an adventure though. If you decide at midnight that you really want to go on a road trip to Baker Hot Springs I'm there! Or anywhere else for that matter...

Making a snow angel in the nude is rather chilly.

I cried at the end of the manga of Hana Kimi.

The last two women I was in a relationship with both wore the same size shoes as me and kept trying to steal my Doc Martins.

You aren't afraid of bugs, water or the sun, you're at least a little bit of a geek and you have an IQ higher than the average carrot.
I've got a girlfriend i love but we don't get out very much. I'd like to make some friends watch movies and spend time outdoors with.

If there's something you'd like to try, ask me, I won't say no. How could I?
