First, it is important that you know that at any given moment, I am Kenny, always. And, if you can disregard the word "queer" as it appears in my profile name, that'd be great. I'm as discrete and open about my sexuality as I need to be, and I won't go around outing anyone. That said on a different note, here's some music for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq9zhpBweDk

I'm a grad student at Penn State, and I'm loving it here! It didn't take a week to realize it either, but the first week was already just... oh man, it was so awesome! I graduated from RIT with a BS in Biotechnology. As an aside, I don't think I'm up to dating anyone at Penn State--at least not soon--and you're welcome to inquire, but you've may've already guessed why. Anyhow, I have a background in biosciences, so I appreciate math and logic, but I know there's more to life than that, and life is far more interesting. I hold firm that doing something is far better than knowing something. So really what I like in someone isn't just bookish intelligence, but rather curiosity- the will to know or to learn. I could talk about aesthetics, history, fashion, food, science, language, I could learn about politics, economics, and law because they aren't really my strong suit, and I've even been able to talk about religion when first meeting people and have never once had an unpleasant experience (but please don't make it your mission to try to create one, if it is then you're probably a nutcase with respect to your own beliefs). So many on this site look for intelligent conversations, and while I appreciate those and am willing to engage in them, there is just a finite amount of knowledge per person- myself included- that eventually an intelligent conversation to come is too repetitive and grows stagnant from the dating-to-relationship transition.

My personal motto is "לֶךְ-לְךָ/Lekh l'kha." It translates to "Go for yourself!" My secondary motto is "Forward and onward."

I like a guy who can play board games, or I can go out of the house with and walk around the block (I sound a little too city bound at this point), one who enjoys a retreat into nature and not just a park but the actual country. I like guys who can cook with me. I also like men haha... I like men who can get up early and head to the market with me, or walk 30 blocks to a museum, and 20 more for an evening meal. I like men who can appreciate good beer and good wine.

I love music. When I was much younger, I played piano and clarinet. I don't just like music from the classical periods, though a lot of other music too. It is, for me, the best form of escapism, and the only way I could like it more is if I had synesthesia, so music I'm listening to could look as awesome as it sounds.

Life is still very novel to me. I've had a handful of experiences (some good others bad... very bad... well... I digress sorry), but I keep looking forward to new things (that I'm not afraid to try lol). New friends, perhaps dating, are what I suppose I expect here (most definitely friends).

I enjoy technique and process, working with my hands, and I have a reliable ability to learn others (I can already cook, and can unscrew test tubes in one hand and pipet with the other). Now if I can make friends with someone who can teach me auto mechanics... you won't get frustrated, I'm a quick study.

I can't say if I'm romantic, or if I'm a romantic. But I hold these three opinions in high esteem:
1) Love is made for everyone (a sentiment borrowed from the Yiddish: Bashert ist bashert.)
2) Love's opposite isn't hate, rather it is indifference
3) To love someone, is to set them apart from all others

I'm a grad student at Penn State. I spend time in classes and in lab learning about immunology and why we have immune system memory.

Cooking, trivia games, keeping company, working with my hands.

My smile, my eyes, I'm smart, I'm charming

Books: I like short stories, "Harry Potter", "The Interpreter of Maladies", "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", "A Lesson Before Dying", "The Metamorphosis", "The Giver", "Le Petit Prince", "Night", "Brave New World", "The Fountainhead", "We the Living", "The Alchemist", "Les Misérables" (favorite book of all time)

Movies: Donnie Darko, Amelie, Crash, Hero, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, X-Men, Edward Scissorhands, Finding Neverland, Big Fish, In America, V for Vendetta, Fifth Element, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Children of Men; I prefer subtitled to dubbed (in fact I almost demand it, I hate feeling like the audio isn't matched well with the video)

Music: Classical, Pop, some alternative, a few others in other genres, Regina Spektor, Arcade Fire, the album "Hissing Fauna are you the Destroyer?" by Of Montreal, I like the "Crane Wife" album by the Decemberists. I've just recently discovered HaDag Nachash (they're good)... ooh and MGMT, Joanna Newsom; I add them as I go... Architecture in Helsinki, Vampire Weekend... The song "Ára Bátur" by Sigur Rós, who incidentally writes some of the best music too, Phoenix, Passion Pit, I love the song "Kissing the Lipless" by the Shins (they're good too), and I'll sing it sometimes when no one's around (I'll even sing the high notes).

Food: Mediterranean/Middle Eastern, Thai, savory/herby like Italian/French, Jew food (but not matzah), Indian, sushi, American foods, not too big on obnoxiously sweet things. I love dark chocolate (especially the kind with cinnamon and hot chilies.)

TV: House, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Glee are pretty much my regularly scheduled shows. I also like the show Merlin.

The present and the future. What I want to do next. Since most of my thoughts are random, I usually don't think too much on one subject.

Lately, I've been thinking about applications of immunology for clinical treatments of disease.

Sometimes I think to myself "what if the person I'm destined for is missing a rib?" Or "is happiness lemony or buttery?" Are trees spying on us, because if they are well then how rude (no I don't really mean that last one).

I also sometimes think about how pitiful the letters x and w can be. For example, why isn't "asks" spelled instead as "asx"; similarly why isn't it spelled "vacwm?" I also think that if anyone reading this is taking me serious with what I just said, then perhaps well... never mind, I don't wanna be rude.

Whenever I go somewhere, I always think "what have I forgotten?"

Some Favorite quotes (again added as I go):

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

"Vous êtes belles, mais vous êtes vides.... On ne peut pas mourir pour vous."

"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

"Life is too important to be taken seriously."

"A man who does not think for himself does not think at all."

"...to be great is to be misunderstood."

"Ask anything of men. Ask them to achieve wealth, fame, love, brutality, murder, self-sacrifice. But don't ask them to achieve self-respect. They will hate your soul."

Getting a drink or two...maybe with someone.

I seldom trust picky eaters. The reason is that I think they don't trust others, especially when it comes to what they ingest. I think people who like to explore other foods, are able to explore other cultures.

I didn't pick my username for this site.

I like it when guys call me dude or buddy. Cutie on the other hand is a red flag to me.

If you have a pit bull or a Staffordshire, I may only be dating you just to hang out with your dog. :)

I hate it when people say "if I admitted then it wouldn't be private." The word "admit" isn't hard to understand. Say something original guys.

It's up to you, just have a clear face pic when you do. I'm tired of the total anonymity.
