My self-summary
I've got to give this some thought. I'll write it more of it up later.

For now-

I'm a Ph.D. student in a technical field. I have nerdy tendencies, but I would not identify as a nerd (don't like sci-fi, fantasy, video games, I bathe, etc.).

My ideal weekend involves going on a road-trip or just going to a cafe, doing work and people watching.
What I’m doing with my life
For the moment working on a Ph.D.
I’m really good at
I'm a pretty good cook. I've gotten quite a bit better at running lately (training for a 1/2 marathon). I'm at least a little good at my field of study. I can turn a dirty pun pretty quickly.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Infinite Jest, Pale Fire, Blood Meridian, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, Ada or Ardor, Moby Dick, The Sot-Weed Fact, Vox, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Flannery O'Connor, Fortress of Solitude, George Saunders and many more. Those are just the top of the top.

Recently read : Memories of my Father Watching TV, The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil, The Broom of the System, Irons in the Fire

Harold and Maude. I tend to like TV shows more. The ones I watch at the moment are House (but it is quickly getting bad), Hoarders, Mad Men

In no particular order:
Weakerthans, Bright Eyes,Decemberists, The Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, Death Cab for Cutie, Fiery Furnaces, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Antony And The Johnsons, Interpol, Andrew Bird, The Walkmen, Old 97's, Built to Spill, Electric Six, White Stripes, Postal Service, The Walkmen, The Smiths, Cat Stevens, Nerf Herder, The Faint, Pedro the Lion, Neutral Milk Hotel, Mountain goats, We Are Scientists, Belle & Sebastian, Architecture in Helsinki, The New Pornographers, Beirut, Tenacious D, The Dodos, Animal Collective, Horse Feathers, Ravens and Chimes, Bishop Allen, Elliott Smith, The Handsome Family, Jeffrey Lewis, Meatloaf, Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, and more. Always looking for more good music.

Macaroni and cheese. It's like crack to me. Rare steak. I really like to cook, and for the past few months I've been making my own bread. Also, I make ice cream.
The six things I could never do without
Ugh. I can't decide if I like this question or not. I'll try to leave off the completely obvious ones (friends, food, etc)
*intellectual stimulation (my job fits the bill)
*physical exertion (preferred form lately has been running)
*a good side project or two (brewing, baking, etc)
*good literature
*travel
*a city nearby
I spend a lot of time thinking about
math, science, literature, how to make a good loaf of bread, how to make a good batch of mint chip ice cream
On a typical Friday night I am
At home or at a local dive bar. Maybe a dinner party with friends.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
If I see a dog it takes all of my energy just not to laugh and clap my hands like a 4 year old. I love dogs.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 22–28
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners, long-distance penpals
You should message me if
You want to cook with me. You want to go to a dog park and pretend we have a dog out there, but then just play with other people's dogs. You want to go to the Ferry Building and try every vendor.
