I'm in a serious relationship but we're both open to exploring our respective sexualities on the side. To be clear, for me this means no men and no couples.

I'm a musician, a nerd, a bibliophile. I love the abundance of excellent beer in Philadelphia and bake a mean pecan pie. I have great hair and enjoy proofreading. I like writing song parodies and people who make bad puns.

Doing public health research and trying to
figure out what to be when I grow up. Running. Doing ballet, which cracks me up. Reading.

Being forthright and opinionated, knitting (but only in a straight line), making terrible puns, being an introvert, playing the cello, editing, doing the backstroke, baking, making lists.

I look a lot like Rachel Maddow.

Tea, reading material, Post-it notes, science, Sriracha, and being in close proximity to a body of water.

Fictional characters, public health, and what to cook for dinner.

Running, having a drink (two if I'm feeling festive) and going to bed early.

You'd like to have a pint or a cup of coffee or go run in the woods or, you know, converse.
