I am inquisitive, quiet, and contemplative.
My Self-Summary
I'm a
biology
geek, a ravenous
consumer of
books, a
dog-lover, and an
aikido enthusiast.
I have a very dry sense of humor that doesn't usually come out
until I'm comfortable with somone - something that takes quite a
while. I usually start off thinking the best of people I meet, but
it takes me a long time to decide that I'm right about my initial
judgment and actually start to trust someone on more than a basic
level.
I live in Northern California on the coast, in what has to be one
of the most gorgeous places on the planet.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm one class shy of a degree in general biology, and currently
work as a phlebotomist at a local hospital. I'm good at it and it
pays well, but it's not very stimulating and I'd like to finish my
degree and apply to grad school. Currently appeasing my inner geek
by learning Golic Vulcan.
I’m really good at
?
people have told me that I'm good at drawing blood, that I'm good
in a crisis, that I'm good with animals, that I'm a good artist,
that I'm good at writing... I have no idea how much of that was
very true when it was said, and how much is true now.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm quiet.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Favorite authors are Barbara Kingsolver and Sherman Alexie;
favorite sci-fi authors are David Brin and C.J. Cherryh. I go
through 2-3 fiction books a week (usually sci-fi or fantasy), and
am usually working on at least three non-fiction books at a time.
My current novel is Melinda Snodgrass's [U]The Edge of Reason[/U],
and my current non-fictions are [U]The Omnivore's Dilema[/U] by
Michael Pollan, [U]The God Delusion[/U] by Richard Dawkins, and
[U]Animals in Translation[/U] by Temple Grandin. No favorite
movies, but a sheepish appreciation of wire-assisted kung-fu movies
like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.' My small-screen media
consumption is pretty much entirely computer-based.
Favorite foods are eclectic, anything from chili rellenos to
minestrone soup (as long as it's fresh!). I eat mostly vegetarian,
but don't feel guilty when I satisfy my once-or twice-yearly
craving for steak.
The six things I could never do without
aside from the universal air-water-food-shelter-friends: Hot water
(excepting a week here or there for backpacking trips); Canine
companionship; Beautiful scenery; The dojo; The Farmer's Market
(closed in the winter time, but still one of my favorite things);
Large bodies of water (ocean/lake/river).
I spend a lot of time thinking about
everything.
Science. Science fiction. My local habitat. My job. Politics.
Books. My dog.
On a typical Friday night I am
At work.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I love men's voices.
You should message me if
you love salticids (or even if you know what salticids are).
