I'm a HS Librarian. I've also worked at summer camps (in Minnesota and, recently, Wisconsin) for the last 15 summers.
I love all kinds of music (and I'm not just saying that) and I play several instruments.
I can name every country in North America, South America, Asia, Africa (and maybe Europe) AND their capitals from memory.
I like to cook and eat good food, but I'm not snobby about it.
I read a lot (hence the profession), and I enjoy good television. I enjoy fantasy and sci-fi, but am not hardcore into either. Though I do truly love comic books (and teach a class on them).
I coach field hockey and ice hockey and I really enjoy playing sports. I'm in decent shape (or I try to be) and work-out daily, but I'm not an "athlete". I enjoy being outdoors and playing in the woods.
I enjoy games and brain teasers as well, but I've only ever solved one Sudoku. I like board games.
I like 4 (real) seasons, and that includes cold and snow.
I make friends easily and people seem to enjoy my company. I can be very shy and introverted at first, but I'm very outgoing once I feel comfortable.

Right now: Coaching and Being a High School Librarian at an Independent School. I teach 9th graders how to research, and 12th graders why to read comics (but we call them Graphic Novels so the admins think it's a legit topic for a class).
Also, missing Minnesota, but enjoying having a steady, fulfilling job that pays the bills and I don't dread.

Tag. Seriously. 18 summers-worth of experience goes a long way.

Recently it's been a beard (which is nice to have when I'm in Minnesota for the holidays), but it's been kept more neatly trimmed as of late.

In the dark it's probably the glow-in-the dark rubber-band bracelet that my cousin gave me.

Books: where to start? I'm a Librarian for a Reason... I like Neil Gaiman, John Irving, Tolkien, Gordon Korman, _Lonesome Dove_ was a fun read, Lots of comics, cookbooks, non-fiction about: language, technology, sociology (my favorite Dewey decade is the 300s, but I'm a big fan of 741.5, and 641.5). I love "Peanuts," and think that Charles Schulz was _the_ literary genius of the last century.

Movies... I've recently come to admit that I prefer TV to movies. Some TV faves include: The Wire, Buffy/Angel/Firefly, How I Met Your Mother, Bones, Boston Legal, Veronica Mars, The Office, Battlestar Galactica, Mad Men, Pushing Daisies, Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock

I like Wet Hot American Summer, Iron Man, Rushmore, Idiocracy, Bill and Ted, Lord of the Rings and Forgetting Sarah Marshall (anything Apatow related, really)

Food: I'll eat anything that's not an Olive or a Grapefruit (though their derivatives are okay) or that involves chocolate and peanut butter mixed (blasphemy, I know). I like to try new things and I enjoy cooking. I'm not vegetarian, but I can enjoy meatless meals. I like Chickpeas too much, and I eat onion in some form on a daily basis.

Music: I'll listen to just about anything, but I have strong opinions. I have eclectic tastes (I know... everyone says that, but it's true). Jazz, Progressive Rock, good Hip Hop (the clever stuff), Classical/Orchestral/Symphonic. Sometimes I even like Choirs. If you ask me about my music tastes (and better yet can discuss them) you'll score big points.

Bands I'm into right now: Broken Social Scene, Wilderness, Los Campesinos! TV on the Radio, Sigur Ros, Hem, She & Him, Girl Talk, At The Drive In/Mars Volta, Retribution Gospel Choir, Low, Death Cab, Grizzly Bear, DMB, The Weepies, Coheed & Cambria ... hmmm... that's the surface.
All Time favorites include: Miles Davis, Steely Dan, YES, Faith No More, the Police, Weather Report and Soul Coughing

Stories and Music

Snow

Depending on the season, any of the following:
a)exhausted from a week of hard work and maybe watching a bit of TV
b)coaching some flavor of hockey
c)hanging out in a comic shop playing nerdy (but quite fun) games
d)in the basement playing guitar or ukulele, or trying to play banjo or drums, and possibly singing loudly and badly
e)looking for an excuse to get out of the house...

I didn't get my driver's license until I was a few weeks shy of 27. I still get nervous driving places that I've never been to, or driving in cities (though not-too-trafficky highway driving is kind of fun)

You're creative, clever, intelligent, smile a lot, appreciate silliness with a bit of sarcasm, like good music and books (and maybe even sports), are physically active/in shape, open-minded, and also awesome.

I'm looking for equal partnership in a relationship, but I do admire confidence and assertiveness in a woman (but not meanness). I'm too shy myself to deal well with other shy people. It's nice to be nice (though I appreciate sarcasm and a sharp sense of humor).

I eat reasonably well, exercise daily, and am looking for someone who does the same and is relatively fit. Physical attraction isn't the most important thing, but it [I]is[/I] important to me.
I don't enjoy drama, and if you're into playing "the game," I'm not interested, but then again, if you've read this far and not left my profile, you're probably not into playing "the game"
