Hello! I'm having trouble meeting people so I thought I'd give this a try. I'm a bit shy but once you get to know me I'm a total goofball.
Let's see, some of my hobbies are knitting, photography, and baking. Giving back to the community and caring about the environment are important to me. In the past I've worked on a suicide hotline and right now I am giving blood every two months. I'll try most things once, provided they are reasonably safe and sound like fun!
I also like traveling; I have been to Japan, Ireland, Australia and Mexico so far and I would like to get more off the beaten path on my next trip.

I'm still figuring things out, but I returned to school recently and found out that I really love Chemistry! I'm at a two year college right now but I'm planning to get a bachelor's in Chemistry and to go on to at least a master's degree.

Making homemade gifts. I like knitting, baking, sewing (just small things at the moment), and creating. In the past I've made soap, spun yarn and painted a little bit. I would love to try pottery. Not really artistically talented but I am enthusiastic and I enjoy myself :)
I also enjoy creative writing but that's more for myself. Haven't written a book but I have written several short stories and I have a lot of ideas I'm trying to develop.

You tell me!

I read a lot so this one is hard to answer. Over the last several years I have tried to read more of the classics but growing up I was more of a scifi/fantasy girl. My favorite author is Dostoevsky, I've just finished Let the Right One In, I'm re-reading The Brother's Karamazov, and planning to read The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest next.
I used to be really into manga and anime but they're just not making it like they used to. Although I will always have a special place for Fruits Basket, Vampire Hunter D, Akira, Slayers, Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop.
I love movies! Especially indie ones. Probably because I used to work at an indie movie theater hahah. I just watched Away We Go and I thought it was really moving. I do have a somewhat dark taste and I really enjoy things that push the envelope. My favorite movie of last year was No Country for Old Men. Of course I love all the geeky movies; Lord of the Rings, Star Wars IV-VI, Fifth Element, Batman, Fargo, The Big Leboski and anything by Tim Burtin, Wes Anderson, Hayao Miyazaki (who is an awesome feminist!) or the Coen Brothers. As for tv my favorite series are Mythbusters,Dexter, Heroes, Venture Bros and Doctor Who. I watch a lot of scifi too. I grew up on Star Trek Next Generation and Red Dwarf.
I like alternative music. I'm listening to a lot of Radiohead and Bon Iver. I also like classical though I don't know much about it and I'm getting more into jazz. Love seeing it live! I'm not really a big music geek so if you define yourself by what bands you listen to we probably won't have much to talk about. Sorry!
I haven't played many video games but I like the Zelda, Prince of Persia, and Final Fantasy games. Haven't played in a long time but if you like to that's cool. I suck at shooters and I'm more of a rpg/adventure/wii girl I guess.
Is there no section for the performing arts??? Support local theatre and music!
Let's see, I like Shakespeare in the park and ballets. In the past I've seen A Midsummer Nights Dream and Twelfth Night. I haven't been to too many ballets but I enjoy the Nutcracker (a must for Christmas!) and Swan Lake. I haven't been to the symphony or the Opera but I am very interested in going!
My favorite website are instructables (although I must admit the only thing I've actually made is the 5 minute brownie lol), the bad astronomer (Phil Plait) site, and geekologie (What it's hilarious!).
I don't really have a favorite cuisine (I like all kinds) and I like trying new things! Cooking can be really fun too. I like Seafood, Japanese, French, German, Chinese, Thai, Ethiopian, Malaysian, Korean, Cajun/Creole, Brazilian, Italian, Mexican, Indian, and Afghani. If I haven't listed it then I would love to try it with you :)!
PS I especially like dim sum!

Friends, skype, my macbook, a hot shower, the internet, and my awesome 80's bimmer.

Update: Apparently, I can do without my iphone.

I took wayyy too many units this semester so mostly I think about what assignment is due next.

At home, drinking tea and watching movies or reading.

I refuse to talk to anyone on here that's unsure or doesn't believe in evolution.

If you like!
