I'm always looking for a laugh. I have a very widespread sense of humor and a great outlook on life and am constantly on the lookout for new places to discover or people to meet.
I've just returned to my grandparents house after a few months of living with friends to help them out with things around the house. It gets pretty hectic so I tend to spend most of my days at my bestfriends house a couple of communities over. I like to go for walks downtown or in the summertime rafting in the river.
I'm very outdoorsy and love to go camping and hiking. I've done a fair bit of traveling and am looking forward to making a two month trip to Europe sometime in the near future. I'm hoping to go with friends but at this point no one seems interested so this might have to be done solo.
I'm looking for something new in life because I've been on the same path for so long and have grown bored of it. I'd like some spice in my life and I figured the best way to do that is get out and meet new people so here I am!
When it comes to what I look for in an intimate relationship, I need a sense of humor and independence in themselves or it just won't work. Pure and simple. I am very extroverted and generally a happy person and I have a bit of a temper, but it only rears its head once in a blue moon.
I've got a little bit of extra weight that is on it's way to non existence. Hard work and persistence right? Usually I am very active, I love to go for runs, or roller blade; my passion resides in hockey though. I love to watch and play. I hate sweet foods and love full flavored pastas and seafood.
I want kids one day, but I want to be in a stable situation with a partner that I am comfortable with. Lots of my friends have kids so it's good practice, I guess. On the other hand, 90% of my friends are GLBTQ, so I really need someone open minded on that. I'm very friendship orientated and their opinions and views matter a lot to me. Whether it be on a new meal I've created or a new relationship, it will eventually come down to them.
I'm a bit of a health nut, and don't eat red meat unless it's all that is available. On the flipside, I do love to drink with my friends and I smoke weed on the occasion. It's not a big thing though.
I like learning new languages and different aspects of cultures. Sociology has always been a bit of a side hobby for me. Right now I can speak (respectively from most fluent to least) English, French, Spanish, Italian a bit of German and I can write Latin.
I love to read and can usually read an 600-800 page book in one sitting. It's an extended sitting, of course, but it's a cool talent. I like anything from Biographies to fictional tales of dragons and elves. Right now I'm reading Leonard Nimoy's second Auto' 'I Am Spock'.
I can play a few instruments at varying levels of skill. The flute, piano, alto sax, B clarinet, french horn, violin and vocals being the best. Except the triangle... for that, as well as the recorder, I have mastered.
I'm incredibly independent and don't really ever need any kind of reassurance but of course it is always valued.
I think I have rambled on enough for now.
Oh yeah, I'm also probably better at guitar hero than anyone else you know. I will also take any challenge.

Right now I'm enrolled in Bow Valley College just doing some upgrading before I move onto SAIT for their Professional Cooking program. I'm also considering a career in Psychology, but am in no huge rush for that at the moment. I'm thinking of writing a cooking book, but really I'm just flirting with the idea.

I have a natural flair for just about anything I try, in other words I have skills. Some of which are: Drawing, painting, cooking, telling jokes, Guitar Hero, linguistics and making other people comfortable. Yes that counts.

The first thing people notice I guess would be the fact I smile constantly, the second thing would probably have to be my confidence. I'm pretty cocky, and it shows.

Books: Catcher in the Rye, Twilight Saga, Eragon, Turning Angel, The Shack, Stephen King, Michael Chrichton, I really love classic novels too.. I could honestly go on, but I don't really want to right now. However, if you ask, I will tell.

Food: I love Italian and French food, as well as seafood... I don't really eat beef or pork, but if it's all there is then I have no problem with it. Just not my first choice. I love cooking food for others though.

My mom, I love her to death and can't imagine life without her.
Vegetables. If I don't have my veggies I become a very mean person.
My scooby gang aka my best and brightest.
My notepad, I'm always writing in it and I think I'd go mad if I lost it. You can try to read it, but I only write it in French.
A morning jog/run. Gotta get them endorphins flowing!
Music, I know it's cliche but I would get very, very bored without it which would also result in a very mean me.

The future and what I'm going to do with myself. Also my friends, I think about them and their dilemmas quite a bit... If I didn't, apparently no one would. I read a lot, so I'm often stuck in a fantasy world and contemplating what will happen next.

Out at a friends house party, or maybe the bar. Every other weekend I'm lucky enough to stay home and hang out in the hot tub with a book or a friend.

I'm incredibly open, so all you'd have to do is ask. I do have my boundaries though, so watch yourself!

You are interesting and can keep up a conversation. Also if you aren't looking for a simple one night stand because I'm not down with that.
