I am a recent transplant from Oakland, CA to Denver.

I'm a fairly quiet and introverted biology nerd, although I can and do hold my own in conversations that interest me and I certainly know how to have fun. I honestly am pretty reserved at first, but will charm the pants off of you once you get to know me :) I'm queer, poly, kinky/subby, thinky, cuddly and kissy. I talk to myself a disturbing amount when I think no-one is around. My taste in music is atrocious, but my taste in beer is impeccable. I have been known to bounce with joy when eating good food and I can't for the life of me control my facial expressions/reactions (which makes for some interesting interactions with people who annoy me).

Trying to figure out a good way to phrase this bit: my profile says I'm bi, though I prefer the term queer. I'm *very* queer, and also a bit genderqueer/a genderfucker. Sometimes I present very feminine, other times I'm much more comfortable expressing myself in more masculine or androgynous styles/manner. I often have a mohawk, wear men's work pants and boxers, motorcycle boots, etc. If you're looking for a girly girl (or a consistently butch/masculine woman for that matter) I'm probably not for you.

Nursing school. Resisting the urge to become a hermit. Getting up early. Going running. Wearing my sunscreen. Trying to keep my cat away from all the breakable things in my apartment.

Necropsies. Phlebotomy. Plant taxonomy.

Likely one of the following:
My tattoos
My short hair
The fact that I appear to be glaring at them (if you are ever the victim of my glare, it's nothing personal, this is just how my face looks when I'm not smiling)
My excellent posture

Or the fact that I'm bent over some random plant on the side of the road as I try to identify its genus.

I like lots of stuff. Seriously. I'm about the least picky person you will ever meet when it comes to books/music/movies/food. I have my favorites, but I hate having to list them, and I usually ignore this section of other peoples' profiles anyway.

BUT. If you are really intetested, you should take note: my favorite book is Written On The Body. And you should read it. And talk to me about it. And recite it to me when we are alone together.

My phone (not because I talk to lots of people; I don't. Because of its maps and GPS. I get lost a lot).
Good beer and bourbon.
Sunny weather.
Big, stompy boots.
Plants and animals to get all bio-nerdy about.
Sunscreen.

Let me be the thousandth OkCupid user to say that no Friday is "typical". Right now, Fridays might involve a date, or a drink with friends, or a drink alone, or a cup of tea, my cat and a movie in my apartment. In a few weeks, Friday nights might also involve me locking myself in my apartment and chaining myself to my textbooks. We'll see.

My hair is falling out (temporarily). If you want to know more, Google telogen effluvium. It probably won't all fall out, but it looks like shit to me, stresses me out to no end and makes me very self-conscious.

You are patient, nerdy, thoughtful, open-minded, hedonistic and above all, *kind*. I'd rather not be around argumentative, angry, spiteful or pessimistic people.

You know a good trail/part of town/bar/beer/bourbon I should check out or enjoy with you.

You want to stay in, cuddle up and watch David Attenborough nature documentaries, Star Trek, or British comedies on Netflix.

You've got something more interesting to say than, "ur hot!". I know I'm hot. You'll need to do better than that.

Your profile has a picture of your face somewhere on it. I understand that some people don't want to display their picture for professional reasons, and I respect that, but I won't write you back.

You are ok with open relationships/polyamory/non-monogamy. I realize this kind of dating style isn't for everyone, but it's something you should know about me up front because it is non-negotiable for the moment. If you'd like to know more about what it means to me or why I am exploring non-monogamy right now, message me, I'd be happy to chat about it.

You are ok with kinky folks, queer folks, feminist folks. You don't have to be any of the above (although if you aren't a feminist, I'm not sure how well we'll get a long) but please be solidly ok with lovely weirdos like myself.

Oh, yes, thank you for reminding me: NO THREESOMES. None. Zero. So very not interested. Do Not Ask.
