*Please read this before sending me a message: I am now seeing someone (thanks OKC!) and so I'm not interested in meeting people to date here. But I do like to meet new people for friendship or as acquaintances. Good luck on your dating pursuits! *

I have myriad interests and can be found exploring any number of them at any given time. People are awesome. Space is awesome (quite literally). Other cultures excite and inspire me. If I had a super-power it would be to be able to speak to anyone in his/her native tongue, but as it is I kind of suck at languages other than English - but I do pretty well at that! I'm easily amused; if I find myself unoccupied I have no problem with watching ants go about their lives. Speaking of bugs, I'll carry a cricket outside in my hands but kill roaches on sight. I read poetry out loud and sing loudly in the car, even in traffic. I'm sure collectively all of those things say something about me.

I am compassionate, really smart, and curious

I am my own boss and learn new things from every project, which makes me very happy. I volunteer when I can and keep good relationships with a nice, diverse group of friends. Those are the consistent things in my life. Other than that I'm open to new things.

Thinking, singing, quoting pop culture, writing. I like to dance, too, but don't really know or care if I'm really good at it.

On most occasions it would be that I'm smiling. I try not to be grouchy in public (but I am human and do get grouchy when the moment calls for it).

I try not to have favorites because I don't think my tastes should necessarily define me. But I do like books about space or physics (even if I don't get half of it) and fiction and poetry by dead people. I like horror movies, adventure, and comedies and will sometimes watch a chick flick - but usually in private. I like music. I like Indian, Mexican, Chinese, and Greek food and will pick tomatoes out of my food if I have to.

I don't know how to answer this without being a smart-ass. Pass?

humanity, history, gadgets, whatever comes to mind. I do like to think.

djing or shopping in a virtual universe.

I guess nothing if it's private.

you're looking to make friends. I've started dating someone and want to see where it goes :)
