I'm a recent university graduate, psychology and biology. Looking to the future, looking at whats next...I'm interested in everything from politics to literature, religion, health, history, you name it. I'm considering a career in academia but I've also got a side that aches for applied work.

I currently work at an animal hospital and I seem to be always petsitting as well! I love caring for animals and I enjoy having companion animals around. They are an important part of my life.
I love people too though! I'm reasonably outgoing. Still, I do enjoy limited quiet time alone to read, write, or listen to music. I love nothing more than heading out alone to try and take beautiful pictures...although I'm a total amateur!
I love conversation, (its just a nice way of saying I have a hard time shutting the hell up) and I'll talk your ear of if you let me! I like strong coffee, pad thai, tofu in anything, and pumpkin flavored everything. I like to cook but sometimes am not that great at it! I am try to keep active, and I enjoy doing yoga and spin class. Its nice to get outside and move, too, but the Michigan weather doesn't always cooperate!
I eat a semi-vegetarian diet...I do eat a bit of chicken and fish, even turkey, but I'm trying to phase it out. I don't judge other people's dietary choices, I just like for them to respect mine, too!! :)

I just finished my undergrad in psychology. I'm planning to go to grad school for something really awesome...too bad I haven't quite gotten that far yet. I'm thinking about doing Teach for America or becoming a midwife. So...I've got some pretty great ideas, I'm just not quite there yet!

Writing, speaking, listening, empathizing, having pajama parties

That I like to talk, I think too much, and am pretty passionate (involved, not tyrannical) about the things I care for. I've also had a lot of people tell me I have nice skin and hair, which is always a nice confidence boost!

Books: Catcher in the Rye, On the Road, the Bell Jar, Flowers for Algernon, Thoughts Without a Thinker, The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, White Oleander, Great Expectations, so many more...!

Music: I like a lot of rock and alternative music, but I can get down to just about anything! I don't love country music especially, but there are a few gems there, too.

Food: I like it all- especially tofu, veggies, and noodles. And chocolate.

1. My family- as crazy as they are
2. My friends
3. My goals- they help to keep me grounded and focused
4. Exercise- I feel 100% better when I'm exercising
5. Music - It can calm you down and lift you up
6. Animals - They bring a lot of joy into my life

My plans, obligations, and things I love doing. The people in my life and our relationships. Social issues. Religion. Politics. Biology. I tend to think a lot.

Out and about with friends, at a small bar or garthering. I'm not into the night club scene, I much prefer a brewery or coffeeshop most of the time. Occassionally I'll tear it up on the dance floor, though I doubt I'm a very good dancer...luckily I can't see myself in action!

I have 5 tattoos and one of them is a panda bear. I think pandas are my spirit animal, as I am also huggable and fluffy.

You find my profile interesting, think we could be compatible, are looking for love with a lady like me, or just want to chat and make a new friend.
