I'm originally from Massachusetts. No, not Boston.

I dropped out of high school at 15 and spent half a decade globetrotting. I have lived and traveled through parts of Asia, N. America, Africa, and Europe, and got my Bachelor's in Geography, because it seemed appropriate. I'm not done traveling yet. Next stops: Chile, India, and Mongolia, sometime in the next few years.

Most of all, I love shoestring travel, food, children, science, and dogs. I've recently developed an interest in photography and baking, and I'm currently pursuing these as creative outlets in my free time.

Here's a link to some of my most recent shots. I picked up a Nikon D90 in June 2009 and there began my love of travel photography. Someday I will learn Photoshop and take an actual photography class, but for now I'm just tinkering.

I don't have a soul, and I don't have a god, but I believe in community, and I believe in love, and I believe in aliens... but just as a convenient explanation for the megalomania of Mary Poppins.

I've just been offered a job in the greater Boston area doing what I love: GIS. I essentially make maps and load them with data so that spatial associations can be found and interpreted. In short, it's terrifically geeky and every day continues to flip me out in a good way, and means I'll be coming to a zip code near you in early December 2009.

I'm starved for a knockabout conversation with a brilliant, stable man, someone at ease with many topics. It's been a few good years now since someone's challenged me and left me curious. I'd love to be painfully, delightfully torn between wanting to hear him speak his mind and wanting to kiss his lips.

everything, of course. Including humility.

Ah, perhaps the twinkle in mine eye.

I've only ever had one favorite thing and it was you.

Children and animals melt me; outside of their influence I am less of myself. Some travel required, food is a mustard, preferably dijon, and good conversation, but will substitute for talk, because it's cheap. And so am I, so let's not forget sex.

(How could we forget, baby?)

There. Suck it, Maslow.

You. Naked.

With you? Naked?

I freckle way too easily, I really like having my hair played with, and death has never really scared me. These things are not necessarily related.

Oh, and I think online dating is kind of a joke. Physical chemistry is where it's at for me. So, suffice to say I'm not interested in a prolonged online exchange. Let's just meet real quick and see what happens.

you know how.
