I like laughing and get along well with witty and mildly sarcastic people who are intelligent, compassionate, and open minded about the world.

I enjoy being active and spend a lot of time dancing, hiking, camping and traveling. I am always looking for new friends who are interested in the same.

Drinking iced coffee. Reading. Hiking. Contra dancing, swing dancing, ballroom dancing. Thinking. Exploring. Folding origami.

Caring about people and covering it up with sarcasm.

I'm quiet. I'm chubby. I have pretty eyes covered by nerd glasses.

Books: On at least a weekly basis I come home from the library with piles of books in my arms covering nearly all non-fiction subjects, but particularly about ecology or travel. When I was younger I exclusively read science fiction and fantasy; I am bored with it now, but it still has a soft spot in my heart. Sometimes I feel like skulking off into a corner and becoming Holden Caulfield's female persona.

Movies: Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, My fair lady, Lord of the Rings, Its a Wonderful Life, Shaun of the Dead, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dead Poets Society, The Jerk

Music: Bluegrass and cellos

Food: Blueberries

Books. Sudoku. My camera. Coffee. Pondering. Family.

New places to hike, new ideas, what makes people act the way the do. What kind of future I want. What my life's passion is and how to get more of it.

At home with a book, making dinner with friends, trying to talk someone into playing a board game, or looking for a dance somewhere.

When I was 6 I had a crush on Kenny Rogers.

If you want to hike, play tennis, go canoeing, try contra dancing, or want to have interesting conversations about books, society, history, or whatever else we can come up with.
