My friends say I am the East Coast version of the guy from 127 Hours. Well, besides the fact that I wear a helmet, don't have any climbing equipment, and I've never cut off my arm, I'd say my friends are right. Watch the first 15-20 minutes of that movie and it's basically a video of my life. I spend half of every week working in order to finance trips within 11 hours of home and usually no more than 3 days long. As you might have guessed, I spend the other half of my week going on another excursion. Usually I am doing some combination of backpacking, mountain biking, skiing, and climbing.

See above. Aha, two in one.

I'm best at biking fast and planning a crazy adventure extremely last-minute.

There's a bike nearby. Right now there are 3 next to me and one in my car- hard to miss.

Books? I'm reading Could Atlas, it's a great piece. Movies? Star Wars is number one, it basically raised me. For recent movies, Django Unchained is definitely the best movie I've seen in a long time. Shows? Firefly makes first place, and I've never met someone who hated it. Music and food? My favorites are always outside.

...my mountain bike, road bike, roommates, backpacking gear, and Little Miracle (my car). Basically, everything I need to bring home a good story from a trip.

I just got accepted to a... very well-paid position in state parks. I won't be starting for a while, but damn I can't stop thinking about it. Other than that I try to think of little ways to help the people I happen upon every day.

...going on an adventure. Seriously, I try and find something new to do every day, including Fridays.

I sing 'n' dance while driving. Long drives to the mountains can get boring. No worries, it usually only occurs when I'm on long drives by myself. I'm not into torturing people.

...you can hold a decent conversation on topics about serious social issues, you have a good idea for an adventure, and/or you want to swap daring and heroic tales.
