I am energetic, quirky, and clever.

My Self-Summary

I'm happiest when I'm learning new things, or playing outside – so my job as an environmental scientist is a pretty good fit. I enjoy traveling (have visited some of Europe and Asia), but am always glad to come home. Outdoors, you might find me in hiking boots leafing through a Peterson Field Guide, crazycarpeting down a snowhill, or swathing myself in neoprene and strapping 18lbs of lead around my waist (it's not a kink; I'm a diver!). At home, you might find me curled up with a good book (drinking tea), knitting up a storm while watching BBC sitcoms (sipping tea), or puttering in the kitchen (slurping tea).

The first things people usually notice about me

Curly brown hair with a mind of its own and the big smile!

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: (no particular order, short list)
Sciency ones: S.J. Gould, Bill Bryson, Jared Diamond
Literary ones: Robertson Davies, Vikram Seth, Richard B. Wright, Jane Austen
Speculative ones: Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Connie Willis, David Brin, Spider Robinson, J.R.R. Tolkien, T.H. White, Peter S. Beagle
Childish ones: Arthur Ransome, Susan Cooper, Eoin Colfer, Diana Wynne Jones

Movies: Life of Brian, How to Steal a Million, Princess Bride, My Neighbour Totoro, La Grande Seduction, Princess Mononoke, Nine to Five, The Gods Must be Crazy, Julie and Julia, The Fall
I gravitate toward funny or upbeat movies, but don't mind the odd action film. Horror, suspense, and otherwise creepy, violent, depressing or disturbing movies will cost me sleep.

Music: Indigo Girls, Great Big Sea, Ani DiFranco, Arrogant Worms, Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, Jonathan Coulton, Belle and Sebastian
Acoustic with a solid beat and good lyrics.

Food: Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, Ethiopian, Somali, Greek, Lebanese, Korean, Japanese
I don't think I have met a cuisine that I haven't enjoyed and I am always up to trying something new!

The six things I could never do without

Tea. Books. Sunshine. Green growing things. Hot shower. Comfortable dry footwear.

You should message me if

You are intelligent, enjoy good conversation, and can hold your own in a pun war of epic proportions. You are generally upbeat and positive, and can laugh, gently, at life’s absurdities. It would also help if you had a Monty Python and/or Blackadder box set, but I suppose we could make do with a DVD of Life of Brian.
