I am welcoming, honest, and delightful.

My Self-Summary

Hello hello. I'm a 26-year-old PhD student in the sciences looking to meet people for friends or dating. I tend to click with laid-back, masculine guys. I love music (all types) and art; particularly modern art and photography. I enjoy being in the out-of-doors; bar-hopping around Oakland and SF; laughing; eating; watching movies; and the smell of Dixon Ticonderoga Number 2 pencils. I can read and enjoy doing so. I am liberal and try to stay relatively well-informed. I like to run and ski. I don't know how to do a cartwheel. Pesto is my kryptonite. Most things are interesting to me. I'm told I'm easy to get along with. Etcetera, etcetera . . .

What I’m doing with my life

I'm working on my PhD at UC Berkeley with the aim of one day teaching and researching at a college or university.

Music, outside, my dog, my friends, laughter, and a variety of cheese-flavored crackers

Bar-hopping with- or at home listening/dancing to bad music with my friends
