I have a boyfriend. So, if you were looking for someone to have a relationship with, I'm not your woman.

Anyway, I kept my profile open because I think I would like to make friends. Actual friends, with similar interests and all those fabulous things.

Studying applied ecology, researching starfish, and hugging my cat.

Character judgments, unintentionally saying inappropriate things, turning every topic into something morbid, picking up on subtleties yet being oblivious to really obvious things...

I've been told by a lot of people that I look mean. But I'm not... just socially awkward.

Antarctica, echinoderms, how to educate people to respect the environment and other life forms without being offensive or off putting... and cuddly baby animals.

The "less romantic" rating I was given by this site is totally wrong.

You want to make new friends, and don't mind someone who is a bit socially awkward to start. You have an interest in conservation biology or something related. You're thoughtful. You're idea of fun doesn't always require a bar and copious amounts of alcohol (but sometimes it does). You're sarcastic and it gets you in trouble sometimes. You have a dark and cynical sense of humor-- or really, any sense of humor-- and it gets you in trouble sometimes. You're a tall ship sailor. You can have conversations about things that aren't pop-culture related. You'd like to play with a couple.
