Your Notes

I am genuine, thought-full, and (way too)utilitarian.

My Self-Summary

I enjoy meeting new people, making new friends (and lovers!), going out or staying in, trying new things, and generally making a fool of myself. Are those incredibly generalized and not at all descriptive? Yes, but there's a hell of a lot I'm not willing to put online.

I grew up in Wyoming, lived in Arizona for a while, and now I'm out on the East Coast figuring out what the hell to do with the rest of my life. I have a fascination with Eastern Europe/Central Asia, martial arts, biological and environmental sciences, and several things nerdy (sci-fi readers take note!). I'm also a compulsive volunteer/do-gooder according to my friends.

What I’m doing with my life

Right now - Recent(ish) graduate working for the man.

Next - probably grad school. Or becoming a world-traveling bum for a while. Options are open.

My background - The non-profit and public services sector, though next up may be the business sector. My thesis was on international trade across the US-Mexico border. I think I've had a very well-rounded, if unconventional, educational and professional career.

I’m really good at

the violin, poetry, cross country skiing, backpacking, writing volunteer manuals (don't ask), conversation. I wish I was better at (and I'm working on it) rock climbing, kayaking, backpacking, dancing, snowboarding, and jiu jitsu.

The first things people usually notice about me

are my hazel eyes and my smile. That and possibly my rack.

The six things I could never do without

Friends
Family
A good book or three
Unfortunately the Internet (if only to be back in Africa where I didn't have it)
Some kind of outdoors

I spend a lot of time thinking about

myself, my friends, my family, my future, the big questions I shouldn't waste so much time on (like the meaning of life) - hence the "thought-full" description.

On a typical Friday night I am

going out or staying in, having a drink or two, going to a concert, whatever comes up really. . .

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

My number one pet peeve is the sound of someone eating when there is no music, no conversation, and nothing else to cover the noise.

You should message me if

you're in the DC area and looking for a friend, just someone to date, or maybe something more.
