I just moved to St Louis after a decade in Los Angeles.

I am an ENTP that loves beer, sports, hiking, mountains, overcast mornings, excellent vegan food, and prosciutto. I am thoughtful, contradictory, and usually hungry. I have some 1950s housewife tendancies and I like taking care of people, but I also have a strong personality and don't tolerate BS. I like other analytical types and am more rational then emotional.

I've been a science teacher, a neuroscience researcher and now a student. I spend a lot of time working and studying. I love what I do and think it will totally be worth it but it's a huge sacrifice. I really respect people who put a lot of energy into their career and are enthusiastic about what they do.

Swimming, spider solitaire, sleeping, self-loathing. Also apparently alliteration.

My height, my brutal honesty.

Escapes to the wilderness
Bodies of water- everything from lakes and oceans to pools and hot tubs. I especially love hot springs.

The human body and especially the human brain. Education. I'm a former teacher, current student. I think it's interesting how people process information and learn. I'm always thinking about how difficult concepts can be made accessible. Teach me something.

Out to dinner, at a dive bar, or headed out of town.

As a child, my biggest fear was fish especially the minnows in Lake Michigan. Also, my parents are Republicans.

You love science. You want to go to an early morning yoga class then spend the day drinking beer, eating fried food and watching football. You like farmer's markets. You are a snooze button enthusiast. You love museums. When you go to the beach you get into the water and swim out from shore. You only live in LA for the weather. You are the black sheep in your family. You are a work in progress. You want to go camping on a whim. You know where the nearest hot springs are. You are nostalgic for childhood summers with fireflies.
