Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I just graduated from SUNY New Paltz with my MS. I love the hudson valley and plan on staying in the area. I've bounced around from place to place a lot (my friends called me a nomad for a while) and finally get to settle here.

I'd have to describe myself as a fun, yet, domesticated dork. It's true, I am an intellectual who likes to cook with friends while making bizarre references and talking about life. By nature I'm uber warm and affectionate to those whom I love and trust.

Overall I can make random bar/club chit-chat, but that really doesn't do it for me. I like talking to people and learning who they are and what they're about. You know, actual conversation. I'm a cuddler, a biter, someone who likes to sing randomly, and one who feels things deeply.

I know who I am, and where I want to go. Right now I'm cutting through the chaos that likes to pop up in my life and heading towards stability. See, I love going on adventures, but I want a base to jump off from and come back too and building a life here seems like a great way to do it.

My interests are really random. I love baking bread, I taught my self how to read and write Sanskrit (although I'm currently very out of practice), my dad taught me to play backgammon and chess when I was 5. I love the arts painting, sculpture slam poetry and literature I read everything from modern stuff, to classical philosophy, to comics. I've also been know to put pagliacci, TV on the radio and scissors sisters on the same cd. I'm also big on hiking, swimming, dancing, random day trips, but I'm missing whatever chromosome makes people into sports or cars.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Doing a balancing act. I just got more or less acclimated to my job and have started a crewing hours towards completing my professional license. So now I'm working on redeveloping my other interests and taking steps towards home ownership and all that jazz. I just presented my thesis at a conference in DC and it's currently under peer-review for publication in a journal in england. So I'm slowly working on integrating those parts of my self into other parts of my self.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Life, the future, what I want to do with myself, whatever I'm reading, my friends and family. It's funny, I'll go a day or so with out turning on any kind of electronic device that makes noise, and not realize how quiet it is because I've been thinking so loudly all that time.

You should message me if Propose an edit

I'm really looking for someone who's got themselves together, someone who is sure of themselves, and still looking grow and develop so they can be the best they can be. I'm not really sure how else to describe it, but really the only requirement for messaging me is for you to think you're spiffy.
