I moved to the Bay Area recently and am looking to meet some new people.

I am quite active. The two sports I play most right now are basketball and ultimate frisbee, but I'm known as a soccer and volleyball player as well. I enjoy hiking and jogging, and camping when I get the chance. I enjoy the outdoors, enjoy being fit, and am open to pretty much any activity. I like to travel.

I am quite musical--in terms of both playing and enjoying music. I play the acoustic guitar as well the piano. My musical tastes are broad, from sixties rock to classical. I particularly enjoy independent music.

I have an inquisitive mind. I like to think about how things work, and about why they don't work. I care strongly about some social issues. I like talking to people, figuring out what they are thinking and how they are doing.

I like to sit back and let things happen. This doesn't mean I'm passive--I make things happen when they need to. I'm just not much of a planner: I can have fun, no matter what is going on.

I'm looking to have some fun, meet some new people, and have a good time.

I just graduated this year, and moved to the area to take a job a software developer at a company in the Bay Area. This is work that appeals to me, but I try not to let work drive my life. I plan to return to graduate school at some point in the next few years, but nothing is concrete. I take things as they go.

I pick up sports quickly. I like to think I know how to write, but it's well-known that anyone who thinks that, doesn't. I love playing the guitar, and probably spend too much time doing it. Once, I approximately solved a rubix cube--most of the colors were correct. I'm good at having a fun time.

Music, mathy-sciency things, politics and social issues, and how things work.

But then, I spend lots of time not thinking too hard at all.

You like to get out there and enjoy the world, but think about it while you're doing it. You like to run around some and have some fun. You have something interesting to say.
