As for being with a person - well - I should be able to laugh over cooking, laugh during sex, and read together in perfect quiet. I like boys and men, around my age and educated (or getting there). It would be really great if someone could teach me how to DANCE! Every time I try I feel like a complete idiot.

I spend most of my time divided between school and work, my dog, and my books. I am the youngest of six kids, my parents are still married, and I like the outdoors (camping-rock climbing). I am a budding photographer, and a huge fan of all things geeky. My ideal first date is a stroll through the American Museum of Natural History.

I am fairly shy, but cantankerous.

I'm a bartender / EMT / photographer. Single. Recycler. Moderately clean. Baker.

Anti: television, pop culture, gay obsession/deifying of Madonna.

Pro: movies, video games, literature, walking barefoot. If I had my way, I would often sleep all day and go out all night.

Working on opening up a bar of my own. I am also tending bar at the River Cafe in Brooklyn, stop by if you can afford it, or you can visit me at SEA in Williamsberg and the Meatpacking District.

The people in my life that like me the most, all say that their first impression of me was NOT that good.

Oops.

Maybe I shouldn't have lied about my age...

- Superhero Movies, sci-fi movies (sci-fi books don't interest me so much)
- Video games

my future, my next meal, and how hot it would be to date a scientist

On my days off, anything I can do with my dog by my side makes me happy. Spontaneous activities through the city and roller coasters are always a good idea. Playstation.

I would rather sit in an old dive, an old diner, an old dump, and talk over bad food than pump and bump in a gym or a club.

I don't like spending money needlessly, I do like being lost on purpose, improbable adventures in search of quixotic city details and borrowed sentiments. I like to keep my life simple. I don't watch TV, but I LURV the Vampire Diaries. I don't like to wear a watch or carry my cell phone on me.
