I'd rather stay home and chat over a bottle of wine and a good
album than go to a party or somewhere crowded. I'm pretty reserved
at first, but damn rambunctious and maybe a little brash in
private. My sense of humor is bitterly sarcastic and usually at
either the expense of others or myself, so a thick skin is pretty
well required.
I'm going to Washington State University working on a degree in
Zoology, Pre-med option.
Medicine is fascinating, as is the way
the body works in general. (No, I'm not studying to be a
veterinarian, I job shadowed one and found it too emotionally
taxing).
I like
science:
chemistry,
biology. If I
weren't a Zoology major, I'd go into
geology because it's greatly applicable
to everyday life.
I enjoy
evolutionary theory, and
tend more towards the Stephen Jay Gould line of thought more than
hyper-Darwinians like Richard Dawkins. I recently went to a Daniel
Dennett lecture and it was pretty entertaining, though.
World of
Warcraft. Yes, I'm a nerd.
I'm also fantastic at making a complete fool out of myself.
Often my waist-length wavy hair or that I'm pale.
Or that I'm smiling/giggling about some random inane thing I find
amusing.

Food: does coffee count? Also, I'm a
vegetarian (ovo-lacto) but I don't
care if you are.
Worms,
parasites in general,
infectious disease, music (figured I should add something more
normal).
Recently:
Anatomy, anatomy, anatomy.
Chilling at home catching up on some braindead video game time,
studying, or at a buddy's catching up on some drinking and
conversation.
I'm a little crazier than any of my friends know.
Dead baby jokes are hysterical.
You aren't intimidated by a woman who -may- challenge you
intellectually. (i.e. don't get butthurt if I outwit or outmaneuver
you logically during a friendly debate, I happily concede defeat
when I'm wrong!)
You don't mind that the other half of the time, I do really
silly/stupid things.
You can teach me something new and interesting.
You can detect sarcasm and take a joke. The easily offended need
not apply.
Ignore all of the above if you're a pretty girl and just message
me. ;)
Feel free to message me on AIM: paintedperfecton (yes, with the
misspelling... I also made that screen name when I was about 11
years old; I keep it so I don't lose track of old friends).
