I'm a pretty quiet stable sort of person. I dislike drama and have no desire to be around it. I've seen some couples that seem to thrive on a constant stream of argument, yelling, etc. I'm definitely not one of those types.

Also I'm pretty nerdy. More interested in books, news, science, etc, than in sports, celebrities, or such. I'm infamous for not knowing who various sports figures are and getting the city/team affiliation wrong.

I work as a mapmaker in the defense/intelligence field. It's not nearly as interesting as it sounds but it pays the bills.

When I was younger I moved around quite a bit (I guess you could say that I'm well-traveled). But now that I'm in Seattle I want to find my place and settle down. Seeing the world is nice and all but I'm ready for a permanent home.

Working hard, living quietly, trying to find someone to share my life with.

I'm a voracious reader and strongly believe in supporting public libraries. As far as genre I'm fond of science fiction, history, fantasy, horror, and the occasional western. But really I'll read anything if I have reason to believe it's any good. Currently I'm slogging my way through the Game of Thrones series. It's not bad but I think it might be over-hyped a bit too.

I'm not too picky about movies, really. Although I'm often several months behind on what is actually playing in theaters. There is a drive-in movie theater down in Auburn that is open during the summer - I love going there if I have someone to go with. :)

TV shows, I don't really watch anything regularly. It's usually "whatever is on the History Channel or Discovery". Although I do keep up with The Walking Dead and enjoyed Downton Abbey (though I need to watch season 3).

Music, I'm tolerant of most genres except rap and hip-hop (which are just too angry for my taste). My truck radio is usually on NPR, occasionally country, very occasionally rock. I'm fond of a group called the Protomen who play an odd sort of rock-opera style neo-1980s music. Mucho bonus points for you if you've heard of them.

Food, I'm really not picky. Though my Southern upbringing makes me genetically predisposed to catfish and/or cornbread. You would think I'd have learned to make good cornbread for myself given my predilection for it - yet every attempt to learn has ended in culinary disaster. Alas.
