My Self-Summary

Though I appear at first quiet and introspective, I'm also silly and energetic. I am passionate about visual art, such as collage and painting, as well as the sciences. I always want to learn more about ecology, wildlife, and the social construction of reality. Volunteering is a big part of what I find fulfilling in life, as well as spending time with friends and family.

I like to keep an even keel through exercising, art, hot tea, (coffee too!), yoga, gardening, frisbee!!!, reading, and random adventuring.

I prefer a guy who is nurturing and affectionate but still can be sarcastic and funny; one that wants to spend time together and enjoys traveling.

My main aspirations are to do research in the environmental science field, especially microbial ecology, and possibly teach science.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a recent grad from Humboldt State in northern California. I grew up in Sacramento and am moving to Iowa City soon. After a long haul I got my B.S. in Biology and now am pursuing a career in the environmental field. I plan to go to grad school in a year.

I’m really good at

Getting to know people, art, being silly, networking.

The first things people usually notice about me

Probably that I seem quiet at first or that my eyes are kind of squinty.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I like "intelligent" media but also enjoy mildly cheesy humor if it knows it's being cheesy. I don't spend all that much time watching movies or tv so I'll have to sit down and watch all the must-see quality films at some point.

Writers:
William Gibson
Phillip k. Dick
Douglas Adams
Octavia Butler
Margaret Atwood
Larry Niven
Constance Penley

Movies/TV:
Harold and Maude
My Own Private Idaho
The Wolves of Kromer
Lost and Delirious
Orlando
Dead Poet Society
Fight Club
But I'm a Cheerleader
Elvira's Haunted Hills
Dr. Who

True Blood
Monty Python

Food:
Yams mmm
steamed greens incl. kale

The six things I could never do without

green leafy vegetables
cathartic conversations
engrossing books
music/ dancing
imagination/ insight
the sky in any of its aspects

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How to help the world in some way. How to find a job that i love. How to mis-communicate better with loved ones. How to push myself past what I think I can accomplish. How to catch that rabbit. How Big Brother is watching everything I do.

On a typical Friday night I am

Having dinner with friends mainly. Also: watching movies, or going out to music/ dancing.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Someday i want to get married. And I want a barn..

You should message me if

You want to talk or are looking for a date.
