I've decided I want to take a more passive approach to "finding someone" and if it happens, it happens. I'm not really "looking" but am open to something that comes along.

I've also not had much luck with this site for dating. So I've decided to branch out and use it for other things. Recent examples:
I'm going to be in San Diego in September. I'm looking for locals to offer up suggestions on things to see/do while I'm there and if interested, act as a bit of a tour guide.
I've been stalking the Walking Dead cast in Georgia. I might be looking for someone to hang out with while I'm there.

So if you live in parts of the country far from me and see that I've viewed your profile... I'm not looking for some crazy cross country love. I'm probably planning an adventure and might want to talk to someone in the area.

For now, I've decided to focus on me. And try to figure out what it is I want.

I'm sarcastic, love to cook, hang out with my dogs, trying to be good at photography. I enjoy hiking and am usually looking for new places to explore. I don't get out much... and have been kind of a hermit lately. I'm hoping to start spending less time at home and more time out in the real world.

It'd be kind of cool to have someone along for the ride.

Emergency/critical care vet tech. Yeah, its as awesome as it sounds.

I work nights, weekends, and holidays. I adore my job, and most of my closest friends are my coworkers. I love them, but I'd really like to expand my social circle a little.

My schedule isn't always convenient for the 9-5 crowd. I'm off a lot during the week and almost always working all weekend.

Creating awkward silences. Really. They are quite impressive.

Blurting out "that's what she said" at the most incredibly inappropriate times, as well as living with my foot in my mouth.

I'd like to think my eyes. I think they are pretty :)

But in reality, I'm more of a back of the crowd kind of person. So you'd probably not notice me at all.

I don't read much. I kind of don't have the attention span for it - I either don't get sucked it or insist on finishing an entire book in one sitting. Its annoying.

I watch too much TV. And not much that is current. A few of the favorites in no particular order:

Walking (and Talking) Dead, The Big Bang Theory, Arrested Development, Doctor Who, Mythbusters, anything with Anthony Bourdain, How I Met Your Mother, The Office... every now and then I pick a show I've never seen, find it on Netflix and spend a few weeks watching it start to finish. I've really got to stop that.

And because of the statement above, I haven't been watching many movies lately. I also don't regularly watch the same movie over and over and over again. I'm also really cheap and would rather wait for something to come out at Redbox rather than see it in the theater.

I'll let you know when I figure it out.

anything and everything...

I live inside my head. And while I don't think I have ADD, I think my imagination does.

Either at home or at work. I try to avoid the mobs of people that go out on the weekends.

With my new schedule I work every other Friday night. I don't usually go out when I'm off. Too many people. I'd rather go out during the week and avoid the crowds.

I'm not sure if I'm capable of falling head over heels in love with someone. I tend to be very reserved and sometimes think I hold back too much. I also don't want grand romantic gestures or to be put on some sort of pedestal. I just want someone I like to be around. I don't think that's too much to ask.

you think you might like me, you think I might like you, you're bored and have nothing else to do, you want someone to talk to...

or if you want to go to a concert with me.

or if you want to go play on a mountain with me and my dogs.

or if you're any good at photography and want to teach me a thing or two.

or if you want to hang out on top of a mountain in the wee hours of the night and watch for meteors.

or if you want to come to Zombie Night (as soon as TWD starts up again)
