are you the T to my A? the G to my C?
my corresponding base pair? my missing puzzle piece?

I'm a loving, loyal, playful dreamer. I grew up with a fabulous group of big brothers (one biological brother) who taught me the value and joys of video games, beer pong, and really good friends. I'm a total nerd, but I love sports too. I'm at the gym 3-5 days a week (I work there now too for a second job as a lifeguard). Family and friends are super important to me, and I expect anyone I date to be okay with this, and spend some time with them. I like learning about things, like cars or building, so if you can teach me something I'm totally up for it. I also find it really damn sexy when a guy is passionate about something he does and wants to include me in that (cars, cooking, building, etc). I love doing spontaneous things, but if I know somethings coming up, I have to have a plan. I love hiking and camping (though i rarely have time for these), and going to movies or on random adventures. I also really really really love waterfalls! so driving to a waterfall for a short hike on a summer day is like one of my favorite things!

I have my bachelors degree in life science and chemistry, and I work in a genetics research lab. I LOVE my job, and I'm debating on more school. I want to do it, but I don't want to leave my job. I have time to work it out.

I'm working as a lifeguard again on weekends. Also I'm pretty focused on losing weight- I'm aiming for another 30 pounds by the end of the year! Which means I do a lot of experimenting with low carb/low starch cooking (lots of veggies, nuts/seeds, and meat/meat substitutes/dairy) and spend a decent amount of time at the gym. I'd love for a guy to be up for either participating or encouraging this lifestyle : )

I really want to travel more. I just bought a fixer house! Walls are all moved, and the kitchen is pretty much finished, just have to put the vanities in the bathrooms and floor the whole house, but it's been really fun so far : ) I think I want to build my own house some day!

Cooking and baking and being outrageous.

With a stranger I have to interact with, I'm usually overwhelmingly bubbly, so I think they first thing people seem to notice about me is my intensity : ) but physically my eyes, smile, and laugh. or the fact that I'm incredibly open and blunt (and frequently ridiculously dirty) usually to the point of shocking people or more often making them laugh.

books- lots of fantasy adventure and paranormal or historical romances. My favorite series are the sword of truth, black dagger brotherhood, and the belgariad. I'd like to read the hobbit eventually, I'm currently reading the wheel of time series, and I'd like to reread some of my text books if I had more time.

Movies- action movies, vampire movies, ninja movies, good stuff like that. I cant stand awkward situational comedies (like the office is a good example) and love stories can be lame and depressing (one of the few girls you'll meet who HASNT seen the notebook or dirty dancing...) oh, and my favorite romantic movie (because I always forget it when asked but I'm ecstatic when it comes on TV) is practical magic.

shows- Bones, Castle, how i met your mother, true blood, the mentalist, Rizzoli and Isles. I'll watch csi, criminal minds, and NCIS marathons all the time though whenever they're on if there's nothing better to do. Overall not a big tv watcher though, can't sit still that long.

Music- anything with a good beat that makes me feel good. I love techno/dubstep/electronica aaaand if you feel like it and haven't before you should check out 89.5 fm on the radio. I love just about everything but instrumental jazz and screamo, I think music shouldn't be depressing, it should make you feel good and want to get up and dance. I get a lot of strange looks for dancing/head bobbing/singing along in my car but I don't care, I love it ; )

Food- I have a love hate relationship with food for sure. I love good food, I'm a vegetable fiend, like give me a huge bowl of steamed broccoli and carrots and a little butter and garlic and i am happy, but I also love pastas and rice which hates me in return : ) My family is very into big fun family dinners and most of us love to cook and experiment, so eating with us is often a yummy adventure! Especially as we all have different eating styles- I'm on a high protein low glycemic diet and my brother and his gf eat almost completely organic vegetarian. It always makes for interesting conversation and good food.

family. friends. feel good music. sunshine. water: drinking, showers, baths, or swimming in. and physical affection, platonic or otherwise.

mostly daydreaming about what i'd rather be doing haha, but arent we all? also think about work quite a bit and all the normal things.

Friday night is like every other night to me, so could be home sleeping or playing a video game, or at the gym, or at the bar or a movie, or at work. Depends who asks me to do what and how tired I am.

i'm not really sure, so you'll probably have to ask me. I'm an incredibly open person to a fault i think, so any question you will probably get an answer to, at least eventually.

oh, and i'm a bit self conscious of my overuse of emoticons! but i hate the lack of inflection/emotion that words typed on a screen are left with...

you want to meet an awesome girl who wants to have some fun and maybe eventually fall in love if that's where it leads. Or you just want to meet someone new and experience a different perspective on life.
