Once every year or so, suddenly I get this bright idea that I should try online dating. So then I look at my profile page and change it and then I go back to ignoring it within 24 hours. I am distracted from okcupid because I socialize often and it keeps me quite happy. I'm trying not to waste my time while living in New York. Anyway, I promised people I'd actually use it so here I am.

A lot of people on these dating sites have a laundry list of hobbies that I could never hold a candle to, like "I love camping, hiking, and going to the moon on a regular basis" and I just haven't done any of that. In my 20s and early 30s I lived a really quiet life with my ex in a house in the south. We made enough money to live and that was our life. Would I like to do all this crazy stuff? Yes, absolutely I would be open to trying most if not all of that.

That being said, my favorite things to do in the past 3 years in NYC have simply been to go out, meet people, and have fun in whatever manner presents itself.

If you want an idea of some of my life, I am currently learning how to swing dance, learning yoga via home video, study body language, occasionally peruse personal growth materials, draw comics purely for fun, try to walk 3 miles a day (weather permitting), spend insane amounts of time planning my social calendar, going to meetups, and I used to play quidditch.

Improving myself and working for various future goals in both my career and personal growth.

Also, having a lot of fun.

Finding stuff to do for fun

People usually think I'm much younger when they see me.

In general, people find me optimistic but realistic. I am generally in a good mood, energetic at times, I joke around often, but I am quiet and calm a lot, too.

Also, people usually notice that my awesome meter is way off the charts. The awesome meter is how far down my fly is. Take that as you will.

Genesis, Porcupine Tree, swing music, graphic novels, Tuvan throat singing, alternative comics, Harry Potter, metal, joe satriani, l'arc en ciel, progressive rock, The Incredibles, Wall-E. I like cartoons and video games, but I don't watch/do either of those often. I just like them.

food, place to stay, health, at least some money to survive. What else could you need?

- all the stuff I need to learn
- figuring out my social calendar

I could be doing anything, really. Very rarely do I stay in and do nothing, but it's happened before.

Probably my taste in women, which would be short, short hair, and glasses. I've never dated anyone who fits that description, but if you do I think you should send me a message.

-you think online dating isn't usually your thing.
-you are a geek or a nerd at heart
-you just want to have a good conversation
-you're unsure if what you want is to date around or find the "one." I don't know either, it depends on who you are.
-you want to go have fun like we're kids again
