My name is Joe and I love a girl that can make me laugh. I'm looking for someone that enjoys doing lots of different things whether it's seeing a movie at the moxie, going to a thrift store, hiking, going to a poetry reading, etc. I'm taking an astronomy class right now--it would be fun to go stargazing somewhere away from the city before it gets too cold. Currently, I'm a senior at Missouri State University in Springfield. My major is Creative Writing/ Art and Design.
I've been exercising (running mostly) since the beginning of this past summer, and I'm now borderline fit.
I'm very non-religious, but I'm open to dating anyone who isn't overly zealous.
I draw cartoons for the MSU newspaper--I love doodling.
I'm trying to diversify my knowledge of cooking (sort of, it's a slow process).
I've never been to a sports game at MSU before, but I think I might go to one in the future.
I'm somewhat of a movie buff/snob so hide your poor taste! But honestly, I'll roll over and watch whatever if the company is of a quality sort.
I haven't been on a formal hike in a while, but I'd like to get back into it and learn what trails Springfield has to offer.

I apped to join the Peace Corps, but now I'm probably going to join the military after I graduate college with my wonderful Creative Writing degree. I'll do the grad school/ law school thing after that. Someday I might try to become a foreign officer in an embassy.

I can juggle!

I smile too much--I don't know. I've never asked anyone what they noticed first about me. When I first meet someone, I usually take in the entire vision of them. That is unless they have some particular disfigurement. (lol) Anyway...

I like doughnuts a lot, but I haven't eaten any in months

food, water, internet, a suitable atmosphere, shoes would be nice, something to look at

I could live without a lot of things.

the future, my goals, who I'll surround myself with, who I'll still be talking to, just fantasizing, laying out plot for a book

Lately, I've been staying in too often, but I like going to bars, seeing shows, movies, etc.

The only movie that has made me cry in theaters is Passion of the Christ. This is embarrassing not only because I resent religion, but also because the movie was only average.

you want to have a decent conversation, or if you're swimming against the apathetic current.
