So my name is Evan, and I am a proud and unabashed geek, and from what I've been told, a Nova Scotian who was born in Ontario and lived there all his life. I'm into gaming, science-fiction, trivia games, and physics. I just finished a physics degree at the University of Waterloo, and now I'm working on my B.Ed. at Brock University, planning on becoming a physics teacher. It's an exceptionally rewarding gig, as long as you're the type that enjoys it.

I'm also sort of a musician in my spare time; I've played guitar for ten years, and I sing. I'm not terribly gifted with either, though I have a lot of fun with both. I don't do it in any organized fashion, I've never recorded or seriously written, though I was in choir one year in high school. Tons of fun. I've also gotten into running and soccer in recent months and years, in addition to my other casual sporting endeavours.

I'm definitely of the laid-back sort; I'm really easy to get along with and hard to offend, don't have an issue with going with the flow, and will pretty much always give an honest answer to an honest question. I'm a bit of a shyguy in larger groups, though, but in a one-on-one situation, I tend to open up a lot more.

Enjoying it, mostly. I'm in teacher's college at Brock University right now, and am counting down the days until I get out and can start a teaching career. Other than that, keeping my head above water in the deluge of assignments, and getting back into the swing of running, looking to eventually crack a 20-minute 5K run.

Teaching math and physics, students have told me. A list of things I enjoy but may not be good at to pad this: Running, singing, playing guitar, sports, and have gotten my feet wet with cooking. Also, I'll cook a lemon pepper salmon that'll knock your socks off.

My hair. Long brown hair, that's actually pretty well-kept, but is about due for its annual six-inch trim.

Aside from that? Once you talk to me, that I'm really friendly, open, and honest. Laid-back, as I like to say.

a) Quite fond of the Ender series thus far, Ender's Game is one of my favourites to date. Robert Sawyer, like Calculating God, the Terminal Experiment, and the Neanderthal Parallax trilogy. Also enjoyed some more of the usual suspects like Hitchhiker's Guide and Lord of the Rings, as well. Also, for any pilots, you'll probably love Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I'm also trying to slog my way through The Count of Monte Cristo, but it's been slow going.

b) Ghostbusters will always be up there, the Star Wars anthology (the prequels, not quite as much), and several Mel Brooks parodies, like Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Big Fish, Back To The Future, and The Incredibles are some other favourites, and I've been known to enjoy some musicals as well, like Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and most recently (though strictly speaking, not a musical), Once. Also, it's TV and not movies, but I'm a fan of House, Scrubs, Mythbusters, and Firefly.

c) I actually have an remarkably eclectic taste in music, everything from Great Big Sea, to the Goo Goo Dolls, to John Mayer, to Dragonforce, to the Irish Descendants, Bruce Cockburn, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, any kind of epic guitar playing, a cappella, Irish music, and others. This is only a small sampling of my tastes, I've got a rather eclectic musical interest as I said, which kinda comes from being a musician myself. Being a singer, I've also get major enjoyment from musical soundtracks. Moulin Rouge, Rent, and Phantom of the Opera in particular.

d) I used to be a pretty huge carnivore, but now I'm really getting a taste for vegetables, especially after learning how to cook a little bit this past summer. I love steak, chicken, and pizza. I've also been expanding my palate in recent years with various ethnic foods. I got to liking Thai and dim sum, and I love Greek and Indian, even though I've only had either a handful of times (on the greek side of things, I HIGHLY recommend an appetizer called saganaki. Delicious.) Also, I love chocolate.

- Music
- Exercise, physical or mental
- Good company
- A cozy irish pub, or similar hangout venue
- Some way to escape the world
- Regular (and usually, frequent) doses of sunlight

How long it will take me to get to where I want to go in life. At least I've got the 'where I want to go' part figured out.

Whatever meandering philosophical thoughts pop into my head.

How Ender Wiggin would win the Kobayashi Maru test.

Science. Particularly physics.

How neat stars are. No really, they fascinate me. And to think that the giant nuclear furnace our planet is orbiting is actually a pretty dinky little humdrum star in comparison to some other stars in the galaxy.

Varies from week to week. Usually I'm not out past midnight, since I work Saturday mornings, but when I'm out, I'm usually at a pub or a coffee shop with a friend or friends, and we're talking each other's ears off. If I'm not working, I'm either out later, or kicking back and relaxing.

For some reason that I've yet to pinpoint, I find glasses incredibly sexy.

Also, I've had my hair braided.

You're into baseball, hockey, gaming, music, guitars, physics, trivia, or, really, if you just feel like it. Also, if you like to learn something or teach something, or if you're the kind of person that loves to just hang around in a pub, have a couple pints, and shoot the breeze.

Ultimately, I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for at this point, what with me trying to get my life started. Maybe something serious, maybe something a bit more casual, or just taking things on the fly and seeing where it goes. I don't figure there's a rush, right?
