Hello, my name is Kent and I don't really know what to say here. I've written this a few times, and each time it doesn't seem that representative of me, so it's best to just ask. That said, I am pretty much interested in anything, and am pretty science nerdy. I like to talk about a wide range of topics like religion, atheism, psychology, biology, genetics, body modification, spirituality, philosophy, etc. I often get very curious about topics and then look them up. I also really get excited about scientific research. I love science and I feel that the pursuit of it reveals the art and beauty of reality.

I like to take long walks and am told often that I'm very introspective. I also don't really do bars or concerts much anymore, but they can still be fun. I mainly like to have good conversation, read, learn and watch movies or tv shows.

The qualities I look for most are intelligence, compassion, curiosity, and a sense of humor. I am incredibly honest and hate games, especially when it comes to relationships. I try to live my life by 2 rules; to help others and to explore and increase my knowledge of reality daily.

I am an atheist, and I don't wish to sound like one of those mean atheists, but skepticism and free-thought are things that are incredibly important to me, and I need to have a partner who also values these things. However, I very much enjoy learning about religious thought and talking to people about how they've arrived at their conclusions. I can theorize that there is a spiritual world, and have gotten lots of wisdom from different spiritual teachings and have given a go and learned from many different spiritual practices, so I am not opposed to thinking there is some sort of deity or metaphysics and trying to get closer to it. But, if one endorses specifically one of the mutually exclusive hypotheses of what that spirituality is (like most of the world religions), and says all others are wrong and can offer no evidence to support this other than cultural experiences, I think that a product of brainwashing and not reasoning. By all means, if you have empirical evidence supporting your brand of metaphysics, I'd love to hear it and learn, but I doubt anyone has this. I like to forge on with the dreams of the mystic and the methods of the scientist, which is one of the Unitarian principles. Props if you know what that is!

Work is fun; I work in a psychiatric hospital (I really like abnormal psychology). I have a bs in psychology (and minor in art, love art but not that good at it), and thought I wanted to pursue it further but now am in school studying biochemistry and getting a minor in math. I take class part time, luckily the hospital pays for part of this, and after graduating plan to go to graduate school right away to ultimately get a PhD. I've thought a lot about my goals I will eventually teach and do research, but still don't know exactly which area I'm most interested in (probably microbiology). I wish to be in a work environment where I can always take college courses for free or cheaply. Up until recently I also worked as a body piercer, but stopped so I can focus more on school. Though I am very passionate about piercing, it just isn't really a preferred career choice for me. Getting my education is maybe the important to me, so is learning; I'm actually very pumped up about going to class and I realize this makes me a nerd. I am very curious and ask a lot of questions, so don't message me if that will bother you. I think sometimes my unadulterated curiosity comes across as condemnation, but that is not the case, I just desire to learn!

The 2 maxims I try to live my life by are to every day work to lessen the suffering of others' or somehow benefit others' existence, and to learn more about the world I live in. I've thought about this a lot, and enjoy reading/talking about ethics.

Asking questions, Deep discussions, bad jokes, running in circles, taking naps, being fascinated with everything

My tattoos, I have a lot and will always get more. The most visible are on my arms and I can cover them up for work. My modifications are a record of my past and my sense of ethics. Having body art isn't something I'm definitely looking for in a partner, it's just something that I love for myself, and everything has a meaning to me.

Books: I read a lot and my ebook reader is likely the best thing I've ever bought. Since I was a child I always wanted to carry a book with me, and now I always have access to my library. I mainly read science, philosophy, science fiction and fantasy. I've really liked 'The Selfish Gene' by Richard Dawkins, the Harry Potter books, the Hunger Games, and what I've read of Discworld. I also read a lot of news, but mainly science news, some random research papers, and some magazines. Mostly reading happens at a higher intensity than frequency.

Movies: I will pretty much like anything that tells a good story. I mainly prefer horror, comedy, science fiction, and fantasy. Akira is probably my favorite of all time.

TV: I don't own a tv, but I watch netflix and hulu a lot. I like documentaries on culture and science (psychology, biology, chemistry, physics) as well as tv series like the Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, the Stargates, and the Office. Above all, I love Star Trek, I'd be a bad nerd if I didn't! Voyager is my favorite.

Music: Pretty random too. I like most music except a lot of rap and country, and discover a lot of bands on Pandora. I like classical to symphonic metal, to industrial, to some pop, to ebm and other electronica. I can pretty much get into anything.

Food: Yes, anything, and I love trying new things, and attempting to cook. My favorite genres are Indian, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, and Japanese.

I like video games, but play with a lower frequency than intensity. I recently bought a nintendo 3ds and have been playing it a lot.

Though the only think I could ever not live without are my friends/family, the next 5 things I think make everything easier and more enjoyable are: my mental capacity, the internet (and the ability to learn whatever I want practically where ever I am via my phone), smart phone with its aforementioned ability, ebook reader I always have on my person (and physical books, not on my person), the tablet I take everywhere

Ethics, spirituality, belief and lack of it, body modification, biology, genetics, psychology, physics.

Out with friends or in sleeping or reading.

In the half year I've become addicted to google calendar. I'm pretty busy with school, work, and trying to have a social life, so I try to schedule everything. I also have issues with sleeping and I feel I need to eat better, so I record that data as well so that in the future I can improve my habits.

It sounds like we would get along. You are curious and love learning. You are passionate about something I am, or more importantly something that I am not or know little about.

Please, I am mature now in my outlook. I have goals and I work hard to fulfill them, one of those goals is to eventually find a companion to ride with on my journey. I really don't want to attempt to form a relationship with anyone who wants to play any games with me, nor do I wish to jeopardize my educational goals to make this a reality.
