Im a pretty quiet and reserved guy mostly, but I like to think that I'm not boring. You can think of me as being like a slow drip, you learn a little more about me as time goes on. So, Im slightly mysterious; I don't show all my cards at once. I'm also an honest person though, so if you want to know something about me, just ask.
I would consider myself a very logical and precise thinker normally, but I think I can be creative as well. I am very introspective, and sometimes I can get stuck in my head a little, but I also like to be very aware of the world that surrounds me. I am extremely passionate about nature. Spending time in nature is my release. I often venture into the woods, even if I have to be alone. I need to be shocked into a sense of wonder occasionally, and reminded of my vitality. It's the only way I can cope with my monotous routine.

Sometimes I may seem more depressed than I am. I just enjoy self-deprecating humor. I try to stay positive if I can and sometimes I do this by joking about the negative things. I'm really not such a downer, I can definitely be a fun guy at times. I have passions and interests, so I like to think that I am not dull, and maybe someone will find me interesting.
I am mainly looking for friendship, but I'm open to anything. If a more romantic relationship happens as a result of our meeting then that is great!

Right now, I'm a fifth year senior studying biology. I'm hoping to graduate in the spring, just finishing up my victory lap :). I plan on going to graduate school and eventually getting into research. I'm still not exactly sure about the direction I want to go. Im interested in birds, so maybe Ornithology? I'm also very interested in evolutionary biology and animal behavior.

When I'm not in school, I'm just trying to have as many fun and new experiences as I can. I feel like I need to catch up a little because I haven't lived enough. For fun I'm generally spending a lot of time outside. I may be hiking, biking, or maybe skiing, and I'll probably be snapping photos occasionally. I am definitely open to many new types of fun though, and I think it would be good for me to have some more diversity.

This is difficult because im not really a bragger... I generally at least pretend to be humble.
I am good at identifying birds in the field (I think I can claim that haha).
People have told me that I am a good guitar player. I think I'm at least decent.
Maybe drawing or photography? I wouldn't say that I'm really good at these things, but I do enjoy them.

I think I am good at listening to people's problems and giving advice. I may not always say something insightful, but I am willing to listen and curious to know about people. I think I am easy to talk to once you get past my initial awkward behavior.

Physically, I think my most noticeable feature is probably my beard. The length of my facial hair always varies though, and I might have a full beard or just a little scruff. After that, maybe it's my peirced eyebrow, but this is only a guess.
People often notice that I'm quiet initially. I feel like someone's first impression of me probably depends a lot on the setting. If its a bigger crowd I may not be noticed. If its a two person conversation, you may notice that I'm open minded or maybe curious about things. Honestly i'm not sure what other people are thinking...

This would be a lot to fit in one box. I'll save some of this for when you meet me if you do.
Books: Field Guides, Into the wild, the Road, the Sun also Rises, Lord of the Flies, Catcher in the Rye, a Clockwork Orange, Desert Solitaire, and some others.

Movies: Being Jon Malkovich, Running with Scissors, Reservoir Dogs, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Let the Right one in, and a lot more.

Shows: Breaking bad, Mad men, The United states of Tara, Family Guy, Arrested Development.

Music: So many different kinds... Grizzly bear, Fionna Apple, Baroness, Pink floyd, The Knife, Led Zeppelin, Deer Hunter, Animal collective, Fleet foxes, Tame Impala, High on fire , Krallice, and lots of other stuff.

Food: Im not that picky. I'll try just about anything. I enjoy eating pizza and ice cream pretty often. I think seafood is my favorite, but I want to cut back on the amount of meat that I'm eating.

These are more like the first six things I could think of.
1. Music
2. Being outside for extended periods of time.
3. Looking at the night sky
4. Thunderstorms
5. Good conversations
6. Thinking about really random things to do (like bicycling with monkey masks).
Added a couple of things I think are important. I may change my mind again.

Why things are the way they are, Why people do the things they do, Why I do the things I do (often the most baffling), I try to understand the universe and how it works. I often think about religion and the possibility of something like god existing. I also spend a lot of time planning trips mostly for hiking and camping. I'd like to climb to the top of all of the bigger peaks in the area.

Often my friday nights are uneventful. I may be on my computer, watching movies, playing guitar, just hanging out by myself basically. Sometimes I go bar hopping and maybe dancing after i've had a few drinks.

Ask me this if I meet you...

If you would like to get to know me and you think we might get along well :).
