I guess I'm a little bit of a closet dork. I went to school for math and computer science (but ended up getting involved in art). I work as a programmer (but it's in an advertising agency). I like playing video games, boardgames, cards. But I don't come across as awkwardly nerdy, and I guess the way I dress and act people tend to think I'm more of the creative type. I love art. Drawing, painting, sculpture, anything I can get my hands in. If I had my way I'd much rather make a living out of that, although I get a good deal of gratification from the chemical reaction in my brain when I'm solving problems and programming. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life because I have too many interests.

I see things as pictures in my head. I'm constantly day dreaming, watching/writing stories, movies, animations in my head. Although when I space out people tend to think I look agitated and pensive.

My ideal night is hanging out at home, watching a movie, having a quiet evening. I love thought-provoking conversations, or listening to people talk about something they are passionate about. It could be anything from the history of a language, the meaning of life, complex mathematics, or why you like the taste of cheese. Just being able to hear someone talk about their passions--the way their voice rises, or their eyes light up--makes my heart beat.

I like going out too, maybe a fancy dinner--I love sushi, but I like sampling all kinds of ethnic foods and trying new things (just don't ask me to go to a steak house). I also enjoy anything cultural, shows, movies, concerts, and I'm always up for a good art gallery (although I'm a bit of an art snob because I'll spend a lot of time analyzing work and picking out all the positive and negative things about it, and if it's not good I'm likely to be blunt about it).

I love to travel. My life goal is to visit every country at least once. I hate being a tourist, I'd much rather be a sponge and absorb as much culture from a place as I can. Spending longer than a few days and trying to get an appreciation in something new and different.

I have a weird attraction to left handed people. I think foreign accents are exciting. Honesty is required. Being able to enjoy sushi is a must. Intellectualism is a turn on. A dash of bashfulness is adorable. Plans of world domination are cute. A good smile goes a long way. Humor and laughing at my lame/dry/sarcastic quips is appreciated (know a good dead baby joke?).

All that being said, I think physical attraction is just as important as emotional. I can't get involved with someone who is sweet, but is not physically attractive to me. It wouldn't last, and I have no interest in investing in something that I can't put myself wholly into. I'd also kind of like someone I can work out with; run, jog, swim, play.

I'm not interested in hook ups, going to gay clubs, dating someone with a lot of gay friends (it's too competitive!), or people who define their identity around being gay instead of around being themselves. I just don't enjoy the "gay culture" that I have seen in my life time, I don't like drama, or guys who act really girly. I'd have a lot of trouble being intimate with someone who's been around town and gotten too many notches. Although I like looking at a fit, good looking guy, I get freaked out when I see someone post a shirtless picture online.

If I'm going to date a guy, he needs to be a guy, although boyish is fine too (this does not mean tough and macho, I think that should make enough sense).

Mostly just work right now, I'm in digital(online) advertising and we've been pretty busy this whole year. Outside of work it's just been me time, or time with friends/family. Cello lessons every week, and hopefully some time for something artistic.
