I'm an easy going guy with an optimistic outlook on life. I'm a
paradox of idealism and practicality. I'm very rational. I'm also a
hopeless romantic. In relationships I'm all about openness and
honesty. I love learning and I'm open to all sorts of new
experiences. I should say, I'm kind of a nerd - I love science,
documentaries on
PBS,
jazz and
old movies - and I like
it. I enjoy talking about politics, art, and
science. I swoon for
kittens/puppies/babies (seriously,
it's like kryptonite). I love to cook, but rarely do. I love good
music (of all genres) and enjoy attempting to make it myself
occasionally. In lieu of
making music myself I really enjoy
discovering new music, seeing live shows, and dancing like there's
no tomorrow. I'm shy at first and quiet(er) in big groups... but
once I let loose, there's no holding back!
I'm new to Seattle; I graduated from college a while ago and spent
the past few years living and working in
Boston. Now I'm out here starting
graduate school and having a blast!
Listening, laughing, playing music (maybe?... well, it's fun at
least), finding the best part of any situation.
I'm pretty quiet at first. However, once I'm comfortable I'll open
up and be funny, dorky, weird and engaging.
