I'm an adventurous, social introvert. I work for a software startup, but long to be a full time student and aspire to be an entrepreneur. Both a geek and an artist. I sometimes come off as reserved and well-mannered, but I'm quite open minded, have a twisted witty sense of humor and can be down right kinky. Quite passionate and intense once you get to know me. I'm currently exploring the world of open relationships and all the fun, excitement and drama that goes with it :p

INTP, Enneagram type 5, Aries/Pisces cusp (for those who care about such things).

Career wise, I'm working for a small startup company. This may be my last "job". Once I'm done here I think it's time to try my hand starting something. There are too many good ideas waiting for someone to bring to life. And life is too short to spend so much of it just earning a salary.

School wise, I dabble. I squeeze in a few college courses here and there when schedule permits. If money and time were not an issue, I'd love to be a lifetime student. Collecting P.H.D.s could be a fun hobby ;) But I like to think of myself as a student of life, formal schooling isn't a necessity.

Just the past few years have I actually gotten into fitness as an activity and a hobby. I've never been a gym rat, and never will be... but it does feel really good to be in shape. I enjoy practicing Karate, going to the rock climbing gym, doing yoga and my latest activity is CrossFit.

Art is one pursuit I need to find more time for. I'm a very creative person, but admittedly I haven't kept enough time reserved for drawing, painting, and other creative outlets. I need to read more too. 2 of my passions I've neglected the past few years and intend to find a bigger place for in my life.

Anything I am passionate about. I generally don't fail at anything I put my heart and mind behind. Conversely, it's difficult for me to pursue and complete things I am not passionate about. This explains why I so easily get bored with "jobs".

I'm somewhat of a nerd and tinkerer by nature. I've done quite well in the software and IT field being mostly self trained. I'm also quite artistically/creatively talented. I guess my right and left brain are competing for dominance.

Could be my smile or my eyes, or if it's not a "professional dress" day one of my funny/offensive T-shirts ;)

I'm a huge cinema fan, so my list of favorite movies could go on forever. My first job was working at a movie theater, and I think that fueled my passion. I enjoy most all genres. I'll revisit this with a list when I can narrow down some of my all-time favorites.

Music I have almost as broad a taste as movies. I enjoy a broad selection of Electronic music. Also Rock from classic, to modern, alt, punk, grunge, the list is long. Recently getting more of into classical, blues and jazz. Country and hard rap would have to be my least favorites, but I enjoy even certain selections there.

Food: I love variety. Mexican, Italian, Thai, Chinese are some of my favorites. Pizza, burgers and most of the good ole' American food is delicious. I'm open to trying most things at least once, but I an be quite picky and particular about my food too.

Not necessarily in order of importance:
- laughter, it's just magical and wonderful
- great sex
- tasty food
- close friends
- my passport, I finally got the thing this year, and there's so much to see in this world!
- my computer and/or iPhone (they are just so damn useful!)

See above list... plus: pondering the mysteries of the universe, my own inner mental workings, solutions to random worst-case-scenarios, crazy sexual escapades, and who knows what else... seems like my brain is always rattling off about something even if I don't realize it.

There is a "typical" Friday night? This could be anything from a quiet night in with a good book/movie or someone special, or any random crazy adventure who knows where. Any night is a potential adventure, but especially nights when I don't have to work the next morning ;)

(this one is gonna take a little consideration)

Bonus points if you have tattoos, colored hair, piercings, speak languages other than english, consider yourself a non-conformist, or find the term "normal" insulting.
