I am curious, shy, and nerdy.

My Self-Summary

I'm pretty busy, but I like to make time for my friends and to have fun as well. I'm active and I like to work out, though I'm not playing a sport at the moment I love going to the gym- I always feel calmer afterwards. I'm pretty sane and drama free, and I definitely prefer to talk about openly about problems and feelings rather than let them sit around. (I can be a little blunt. And sarcastic, but hopefully entertainingly so!)

Other than that, I love Massachusetts and the beach, or any large body of water really. Very few things in life make me happier than being on the beach at night in a sweater walking along the ocean and watching the waves. I also enjoy plants and cats and some special dogs can win my affection as well.

What I’m doing with my life

Right now I play with chemicals for most of the day and try not to blow anything up. (I'm a graduate student in chemistry, so I do generally have a purpose with my playing!) I also enjoy cooking, knitting, and watching T.V. and movies. I also love to read, though I'm having trouble finding time to get back into the habit. I mostly like to read science fiction and fantasy books recreationally, though I can be persuaded to move into other genres upon occasion.

I’m really good at

Organizing piles around the house to look like they're cleaner.... conversations on esoteric topics... Cooking and baking.... rugby... reading..... discussing french literature.... chemistry... standing on my head (ok not really, but that would be fun!)... eating?

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm pretty chipper and laid back as a person, especially on first impression. I usually project confidence, which is funny because I'm actually quite shy around new people. Hopefully people think that I'm intelligent when they first meet me, at least after our first conversation or two.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to books. I love science-fiction/fantasy books, especially Terry Pratchett and Mercedes Lackey. I also enjoy a lot of French literature and Arthurian legends.

To give some specific examples:

Nightwatch (Terry Pratchett)
Guards! Guards! (Terry Pratchett)

The Last Herald Mage triology (Mercedes Lackey- my comfort books)

The Golden Compass series

The Lord of the Rings

The Deed of Paksennarion

For music I'm pretty open. I like a lot of folk music (i.e- Eddie from Ohio, Dar Williams, Christina Lavin). I also love Great Big Sea, Ani Difranco, Tegan and Sara, Rilo Kiley, and Kim Ritchey.

Same for movies- I'm pretty open as long as it is well written. I love the LOTR trilogy. I love touching movies that make me cry. I also like a good comedy or romantic comedy too.

The six things I could never do without

email, friends, books, fuzzy socks, cheese, and pillows

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with friends. Eating dinner and watching movies. Maybe going out, if I'm feeling energetic.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I hate alarm clocks with red lights. It makes no sense, I know, but they make me uncomfortable.

You should message me if

You're relatively sane, intelligent, good in conversations, and looking for a casual relationship or friendship and willing to see where it goes from there.

... or i suppose if you're dying to learn anything in particular about organic chemistry or ancient french literature, I might be your girl!
