I'm looking for someone to have day adventures with. I want to go places around central Texas, talk about ideas and movies and everything, dine at places too expensive for my budget, and just find someone who will add on to my already full life.

While I love to travel (I've visited four out of seven continents so far), I also love the feeling of home and some weekends I need nothing more than a Netflix marathon or a good book to consume all my time.

I'm a TA with elementary school special ed.
I'm moving to Dallas in August to get my MBA, hoping to eventually run some sort of program having to do with poverty, education and/or mental health issues.

Hiking in the greenbelt.

I'm animated. I'm not a cartoon, though that would be amazing. I just smile and laugh and talk with my hands a lot.

I like these things a lot, so I'm going to list everything and see what sticks.

Then We Came to the End, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Freakonomics, Catch-22, The Handmaid's Tale, The Giver, Myth of Sisyphus, Sirens of Titan (and anything Kurt Vonnegut), Neverwhere

Wes Anderson, Cohen Brothers, Miyazaki, Christopher Guest, Children of Men, Amelie, Doctor Strangelove, Junebug, Away We Go, High Fidelity, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Pan's Labyrinth, King of Kong, Cabin in the Woods, O Brother Where Art Thou, 28 Days Later, The Fall, Casablanca, The Room, Fifth Element, Spellbound

Radiolab, This American Life, Fresh Air, Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, Game of Thrones, Firefly, West Wing, Sherlock, 30 Rock, House of Cards, Parks and Rec, Futurama, Pushing Daisies
I also really enjoy some cheesy scifi shows like Doctor Who, Terra Nova and Revolution

Roasted vegetables, goat cheese and hummus (not together unless you have an interesting recipe for me)

Friends, family, good food, music, books, and movies.

I love politics and it's on my mind a lot. I read a lot of news and think current events are fascinating.
Science- evolution and space exploration specifically are terribly interesting.
And how other people think about the world. I distinctly remember wondering how my older sister must view the world when I was very young. That idea has always stuck with me.

Out for drinks with friends at a myriad of bars or on the couch watching a movie.

I've been on and off here (OKCupid) for a few years. It hasn't been all bad.

And nothing will ever make me as happy as this:

You like books, movies, and politics, though everything's negotiable.
