I'm a student at the University of Rochester. I like to do awesome stuff, but I'm bad at time management so most of the time I just do work. For those wondering, my username refers to the star with the silliest name in the universe.

I'm looking for someone to hang out with, and possibly a relationship. Someone who likes going on adventures, learning new things, and does not take themselves too seriously. I am a total nerd, and while "nerdom" is not a prerequisite for my getting along with someone, a general appreciation of science and knowledge mostly is.

My sense of humor varies from sophisticated to inane. Usually the latter. If you think this is hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhLeFVb070s, then we will probably get along

Activities/Interest include...
Swing dancing
Collecting (and listening to) vinyl records
Astronomy & Stargazing
SCIENCE!
Going on adventures & shenanigans
Urban exploring
Playing music (poorly)
Science Fiction
Reading
TV & Film
Travel (I really want to go to Antarctica someday)

I'm studying Geophysics at the University of Rochester. I am planning/hoping to get a relevant job soon and eventually pursue my Masters (PhD?).

I hope to get to spend a few months to a year backpacking in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and wherever else. Need to save up money first.

3D Puzzles. I'm total boss at those.

Books/Authors:
A Brief History of Time, Fabric of The Cosmos, Dune, Sherlock Holmes, Ender's Game, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Kurt Vonnegut, Issac Assimov, George Orwell, Shakespeare, Douglas Adams, JK Rowling

Right now I am listening to the opera Carmen... It's catchy although I don't understand a word.

1. Obligatory mention of Food/Shelter/Water/Oxygen/Sunlight/Stellar Fusion/Gravity/Strong Nuclear Force/etc...
2. Human Contact
3. Laptop/Internet
4. Tea
5. Music
6. Aglets

Awesome things like having a huge dance party on the moon inside a giant bio-dome the size of Tycho Crater.... You know you want to.

Now and then I like to sit outside and try to imagine what the location I was sitting at looked like throughout history: be it last century, last ice age, or the earth's formation out of the proto-planetary disk. What would it look like if you could watch it all in reverse?
Also I like to think about how tiny our little planet is, and yet how there is a gigantic sphere of rotating solid iron in the center of it.
How time actually slows down (a teeny tiny bit) when you are driving on the interstate, or go to the top floor of a tower, compared to a someone standing still at sea level.
How we are all made of star stuff.

Fucking Science Man.

Also how awesome it would be to have my own private Aircraft Carrier. I almost bought one once, but was about 7 million dollars short.

Usually at home working or hanging out with friends, but I always enjoy going out to a bar or out on some adventure if the opportunity arises.

I can't tell the difference between 1% and 2% milk and I'm pretty sure that everyone else is just crazy for insisting that there is one.

- You are interested in hanging out
- You like science (Read: Enjoy thinking and learning about the universe regardless of college major or how well you did in physics)
- You are the kind of person to organize your record collection alphabetically by artist, and sub-organized chronologically by year of release.
- You are not a Cylon.
