I enjoy reading, watching movies, oil painting, writing, NPR, watching public television (especially the News Hour with Jim Lehrer), running, exercising, and discovering new places in and around the city.

I grew up in Upstate NY (in the country-side), went to college on Long Island and moved to Boston after graduating. I've been living here for over 2 years.

I'm looking to date and hang out with somebody, no one night stands. And after thinking about, I'd say what I'm looking for, at least for now, lies somewhere between friends-with-benefits and a long-term relationship on the relationship spectrum (depending upon the person of course). I'm not entirely sure about online dating but a close friend of mine met his wife online and they are one of the happiest couples I've ever known.

Researching graduate schools for architecture, building my portfolio and writing short stories and a novel or two. Maybe they'll get published, maybe not. Also, questioning if I really want to do architecture or if I should pursue another interest such as computer science, creative writing, or science.

...drawing and painting, making things with my hands, running, cooking, making cookies, writing.

...are probably my cheekbones and/or my "big blue eyes"... maybe my butt? These are things that have been told to me... who knows what everybody else is thinkin'.

I saw this on somebody else's profile and thought it apt:
Judging somebody by what they've read, listen to, eat and watch isn't the best way to determine if that person is a match or not. Personality is the key and should not be overlooked because somebody did or did not happen to read the same book. Maybe they just haven't been introduced to it, eh? That being said, here's what I've been introduced to:

Book-wise I like stuff like Max Gladwell (The Tipping Point, Outliers). I'm also a big fan of Stephen King (earlier works), Terry Pratchett, the Harry Potter series, Roald Dahl's adult fiction, John Grisham, and have a few online comics that I think are really cool. I recently finished reading Dune and have a list of books to read but it's growing faster than I'm reading them.

I really like sushi! Indian food, and ice cream (fro-yo because it's healthier). But really, I'll eat just about anything, from Ramen noodles to a well cooked steak, though I tend to avoid red meat (healthier).

All kinds of movies, though sci-fi, action, and dramas are my favorites. Boondock Saints, Frailty, Unbreakable, Fifth Element, Spaghetti Westerns, Amelie, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and a bunch more that I can't think of. I also like to watch documentaries, Star Trek: TNG, Arrested Development, Dexter, and Family Guy.

And my musical taste is kind of all over the place. I like Philip Glass, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, anything spacey/techno, as well as some, but not all, pop music like Justine Timberlake and Beyonce.

In no particular order:
1) Friends
2) Movies
3) The internet
4) My comfy bed
5) Books
6) Smiles

Stories. My mind is very fertile and stories pop up all the time. I spend a lot of time day dreaming and adding to the stories.

Hypotheses, in a different world I am a scientist.

There is no typical Friday night. Usually it is one or several of the following: hanging out with my roommates (mixed sexed) while having a drink or two on our back porch, over at a friends house, watching Netflix, out at a dive bar, or reading.

Once in middle school I locked myself out of the building at school while getting a beaker full of snow for science class. This was in upstate NY so there was quite a bit of snow on the ground. Eventually somebody let me in... and I was pretty embarrassed.

You want to hang out with someone fun.
