I am both silly and serious. The shelf next to my bed holds as many kids books as philosophy books. I like finger painting and pets that fit in your pocket. I do delicate things like origami and brutish things like rock climbing. I give good massages and I always win tickle fights.

I'm extremely curious. I spend a lot of time finding new hobbies and new friends. I generally enjoy being around anyone with a lot of enthusiasm for their life's pursuit, but I also enjoy pampering and being pampered.

I want to meet someone who's physically active. I exercise 3-5 times per week (running, swimming, biking, weights, rock climbing) and would love to meet someone like-minded or at least willing to join me once in a while. That's not to say that I'm hyperactive or a health freak. I like snuggling on the couch, eating cup cakes, and watching movies as much as anyone.

I am inquisitive, clumsy, and cookie scented

Right now I'm teaching at a university, bouldering, champagne tasting, camping, running, eating sushi, doing yoga, petting animals, making ice cream and hummus, and playing 'Rock Band'.

I'm really good at making people laugh liquids out of their noses. I once made my brother snort out chocolate ice cream.

People think that I ask too many questions and eat too much pizza. I say both are impossible.

I could never do without well-mixed cocktails, female belly buttons, petting zoos, the law of mass action, love, and bodies of water.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to spend my time and money this year. I'm taking a year off to travel, but still haven't decided on dates and destinations. Ideas?

On Friday nights I'm usually involved in some sort of hijinks, malarkey, tomfoolery, lampoons, rabble-rousing, shenanigans, woolgathering, flimflammery, skullduggery, or fandangos.

I have a tiny third nipple. It's barely bigger than a freckle. Some people don't believe me, but it's been both confirmed by a doctor and tested with ice cubes.

You should message me if you know the difference between a side-pull and a gaston, can name at least one movie or tv show with a sock puppet in it, have ever read a text book just for fun, want to volunteer as a taste tester of my home-made ice cream, or can perform some exotic trick involving fire, cherry stems, or dental floss.
