My self-summary
My name is Eric. I have a BA in History and Classics and an MA in Archaeology. I used to work at a summer camp and it was one of my favorite places ever. I can be a bit arrogant sometimes but its mostly meant in jest and the thin veil over my insecurities. I like people, not necessarily always in a social capacity but in the sense of the human condition. on the other-hand i really hate people sometimes and large crowds with loud noises will frighten me off. I enjoy writing, reading, cooking, laughing, adventuring, and climbing. I like fall and winter because you never appreciate someone else's warmth until you have little of your own. I enjoy arguing, often for no other reason than the love of the game, but never angrily. I've been known to give a nice massage. I like sports in that I understand the rules and appreciate the effort put in but I couldn't name a player to save my life. Nervous habits include rambling and knuckle cracking and often extreme foot tapping. In summary, I try as best I can to be a decent sort of person.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm working in Jordan this summer at an archaeological dig in Dhiban. I work at the Boston Museum of Science as a program presenter. I also intern at Historic Newton in collections. I'd like to do more with archaeology in the future and perhaps try for a PhD.

I've just moved to Boston after living in Liverpool for a year so i'm juggling learning a new city with not being poor and trying to meet new people.
The first things people usually notice about me
That I'm hairy and that I have long eyelashes. That my eyes will occasionally gloss over when in a conversation ( which is in no way a commentary on the other person but more an involuntary reaction to everything else).

On a typical Friday night I am
Napping, cooking, contemplating going out, going out and then realizing I might have work the next day, saying "the hell with it" and having another drink.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I'm afraid of horses and large crowds
