I've always been rather shy and reserved, but am trying to break away from that image somewhat. I enjoy meeting and getting to know people, but don't get as many chances to do so as I'd like. One of my goals is to find more fun, interesting ways to spend my time and perhaps somebody great to do that with.

I love to travel, listen to music, go for long walks, read, watch movies, play games and make people laugh.

My main goal right now is simply to find ways to improve the quality of my life. I'm actively pursuing a more satisfying job, while also looking for new social opportunities and of course, someone to enjoy these new experiences with. These things are rarely easy to come by, but if I've learned anything, it's that nothing good comes from wishing for things while not actually doing anything to achieve them.

Pop music trivia, board/card games, problem solving, helping others, listening and/or giving advice (whenever possible)

That I'm rather quiet and reserved. But that will change once I get to know you better.

Books -- mystery novels.

Movies -- thrillers, comedies (nothing too vulgar, though), some dramas

Music -- I have a major obession with popular music. I know more about this subject that any one person should. As for preferences, I grew up on Top 40, and like most pop music from the 70s forward.

TV Shows -- (current shows) Elementary, Psych, Burn Notice (older shows) 24, Monk, Alias

Food -- American, Chinese, Seafood, Pizza (sorry, not very adventurous in this department)

Family
Music
Humor
The Internet
Games (Board/card/party games...I love them all)
Positive people in my life

My future and what I'd really like to do with it...not as easy as you'd think!

Where I'd like to travel next

Why other people think and act the way they do

Totally random things that pop into my head (I tend to remember the most useless details...)

Why this site keeps pointing me towards "ideal matches" who are clearly looking for someone younger, or who live way too far away...

Why so many of the questions on this site have nothing whatsoever to do with how I'd get along with a potential match...

Usually either visiting with friends or watching a movie at home.

I've spent a lot of time working to overcome major anxiety issues that prevented me from living as fulfilling a life as I could have to this point. I'm getting better all the time, however I still have some irrational fears when it comes to how people percieve me.

Anything at all on this profile strikes your interest. Or you just need a friend, and are not quick to judge other people.
