I am currently living in Kettering with roommates - both human and feline. I'm a fairly recent ('08) graduate with a BS in environmental engineering. I decided to continue with my masters, and that's going slowly but steadily. I daylight as an environmental coordinator for a small company with several assets to manage. I get to do something positive for both the environment and my company and I don't have to just sit behind a desk all day (something that would drive me bonkers). At night, I read, game, and make sure to recycle? Sometimes I feel crafty and just have to make/draw/build something. Mostly I just hang out with my roomies/friends.

I think I'm a pretty practical person; I say things at face value and I often (to some degree of failure) try to interpret them that way, too. Occasionally I just can't stop my brain from over thinking things.

One of my most favorite activities is discussing thought-provoking subjects with my friends. I will never forget a night in college that my closest friends and I drew - yes drew - string theory to explain our interpretations to one another. A close second is Rock Band.

Humor is super important to me. I like comedies, stories and comics, but I also really enjoy finding the little things throughout an average day. Recently I found a grammatical mistake on a mass produced product. Sure, kind of sad for humanity, but it still made my day. Cliched as it is, time is just too sparse to spend it angry or bitter. Thankfully, I got over that phase after high school. What is left is more of a cynical, dry wit.

At the risk of sounding contradictory, I'm both the "quiet type" and an adrenaline junkie. I'd say 70/30 split. While I like to read and draw and the like, I also love to travel to new places, try new things, ride roller coasters, and flirt with cute strangers.

Trying to decide what to do with the rest of it; so far I've decided I want to (a) attempt to send a slinky down the side of an authentic pyramid, and (b) learn to play tennis, as I have a racquet for some reason anyways.

I also am trying to get outside more. I used to love hiking and I'm new to the area so I'm trying to find places to take it up again.

Er... you want to hear how cool I am here, eh? Occasionally I go out to a bar - for the music. More often I am doing what I do most nights: recovering from working late, hanging out with my roommate, reading, watching tv/movies, playing the xbox, visiting friends, etc.

I've just bought roller skates and look ridiculous trying to relearn using them.

...you have the missing half of this golden amulet.

...perhaps you're a good teacher or can give me pointers towards the completion of my "to do" list:
-Learn to shoot
-Learn something about my car's engine
-Learn to drive stick
-Something new I don't even know I want to know yet

...you are super witty and could probably make me laugh. Or at least grin.

...you think it's silly that this section is demanding of you and instead, want to know something from me.

Also, any old reason at all.
