Hmmm! Let's see - I try to first off be well rounded, a jack of all trades, but master of none. I've spent A LOT of time in school and am glad to be finished! My background/education is in molecular biology and neuroscience as I wanted to do med school for quite some time. Having worked in a hospital for almost 10 years, my opinion has changed, hence doing nursing instead

An underlying trait I've found throughout my entire life is that I like to give. The thing I've found most gratifying is helping or giving to those close to me. In a relationship this translates to wanting to provide for or make someone else very happy. Not to say gold diggers apply, but I simply find it makes me happy to make others happy.

As for hobbies and interests keeping fit/healthy is definitely up there for me. I love the outdoors, through hiking, biking, swimming, camping, or a motorcycle. I also used to do ballroom and latin dance for about 5-6 years. I taught myself how to play piano and guitar; don't claim to be good at either, but can get by. I like cooking all different types of cuisine.

Moved here from california a few months ago and work as an ER nurse.

-Thought provoking/Intelligent Conversation
-Biking/Cycling/something physical on occasion
-Sunrise - Regardless of mood at the time, or for that matter how early it is, I always find looking at a sunrise brings a smile to my face.
-A well made meal - While I can eat simply most of the time, I like to cook and eat and find a certain appreciation in a well made meal.

Four things so far; apparently there's a lot I can do without?

I spend a great deal of time thinking of how and why we function or tick the way we do. For those in my circle or close to me, a lot has to do with what I can do for them or to make them more happy. For everyone else it's due to my natural curiosity I suppose. Those close to me often comment it's like I can read their minds; I think it's just a matter of being observant and paying attention to details.

As for subject matter, I try to be rounded - biology, human nature, history, food/cooking, human function and form (martial arts, medicine, massage).

Changes from week to week. I might be working, clinical, out with friends, studying, or possibly a road trip?
