I am quiet, open-minded, and inquisitive.
My Self-Summary
My name is Owen.
I think I'm pretty easy to get along with, so long as you're
open-minded, not overly moody, and at least a little patient. A
broad sense of humor doesn't hurt either. I can be quite
empathetic/sympathetic and compassionate, and more than willing to
lend my help...so long as I don't feel that it exceeds reason or
goes unappreciated.
Actually, that's not entirely true; let me digress. I've been told
that my expectations are too high for others to be expected to fit
them...Perhaps, but I don't think so. It just comes down to
respect.
I am a fierce individualist. I consider myself a Libertarian and I
admire similar values in others, though I don't hold politics in
high regard on the whole. I have one piercing, but no
tattoos...yet. I love thunderstorms and hot tea.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm attending Kalamazoo Valley Community College and I've recently
started playing with a band; we're working to promote our new
album.
I’m really good at
listening,
debating,
cooking,
writing, playing
guitar and
bass,
singing, and
songwriting...at least, I'd like to
think so.
The first things people usually notice about me
Probably that I seem reserved at first meeting. I have been
described as "quiet and down-to-earth".

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Philosophy, music, writing and literature, biology, the universe,

On a typical Friday night I am
Reading, listening to or playing music, hanging out with
friends...In any case, probably not out clubbing.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I don't have all that much to hide really. Just ask if you want to
know something. But here are couple of things that are worth a
mention:
I have never had sex--hopefully not to be confused with naivete or
prudishness.
My primary love language is physical touch (and quality time is
secondary). A warm embrace makes me feel far more loved than any
gift. In fact, I'm not crazy about holidays in general, and yeah,
that includes birthdays.
Again, not really private, but whatever.
You should message me if
you'd like to know me better, if you share my love for music and
the arts, if you enjoy meaningful conversations rather than
smalltalk, if you spit in the face of convention, if you like to
form your own opinions and conclusions. A streak of spontaneity is
nice and intelligence is sexy.
Don't message me if you are shallow, asinine, conceited, or any
combination of the aforementioned. Nor should you bother if you're
more than five years from my age. If you are religious (except in
the poetic sense, Einsteinian pantheism, for example), I may find
it difficult to respect you, but it's more important that you're
not a bigot or a hypocrite. Oh, and don't message me if you're dead
set on marriage and kids. I'd prefer that a relationship be based
on love rather than obligation...silly me...
