I am fun-loving, multifaceted, and musically-inclined.

My Self-Summary

Originally from the midwest, I moved here about two years ago and i'm still a little amazed with the bay area and northern California.

Music is one of my biggest passions (both listening and playing, and i go to concerts whenever i can). I also enjoy social dancing, hiking, hanging out with people...anything fun, really.

I'm comfortable & happy with who i am, but i'm always working on improving myself as a person. I'm honest, caring, fiercely loyal. I listen and i hear. I'm a hopeless romantic. I love to laugh and make others laugh; i'm a dork at times because it's all in good fun. I may be shy at first, but i tend to open up quickly.

What I’m doing with my life

I work in software development, and i spend a lot of my free time enjoying music. I usually have something playing in the background, and i've been learning acoustic guitar and harboring delusions that i can sing. I'm also a drummer, although i haven't played much in the past few years. I also enjoy hanging out with people, hiking, social dance (mostly swing & lindy hop at the moment), and finding new things to try.

I’m really good at

The Moonwalk.

The first things people usually notice about me

Actually, i don't know; why don't you tell me?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Music: I am a music addict; i'll listen to just about anything i can get my hands on, and i go through many different phases (everything from rock to hip-hop to classical). At the moment i'm very into heavy metal and ethereal/trip-hop/darkwave. And 90s rock (back when alternative was still alternative, if you know what i mean).

Books: Too many to list; i've been a bookworm my whole life. Mostly fiction (Stephen King and Neil Gaiman are my two favorite authors; i also really enjoy Nick Hornby, Heinlein, Tolkien, Orwell, ...) but i'm trying to branch out. I recently started working my way through the classics, with varying results so far.

Movies: A little bit of everything, i guess; my tastes are eclectic.

Food: Anything simple & tasty.

The six things I could never do without

1. Music
2. My close friends & family
3. Books
4. Internet connection
5. Humor/zaniness
6. Chilly weather

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Where i've been and where i want to go (both literally and metaphorically).

On a typical Friday night I am

At an awesome concert, out having drinks with friends, or enjoying a low-key evening at home.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Hmm, i feel like i should have a clever answer. I'll get back to you on this one.

You should message me if

1) Anything in my profile caught your attention.
2) You enjoy playing music and would like to hang out sometime and jam.
3) You just finished reading an awesome book and would like to recommend it.
4) You're looking for someone with whom to go hiking, check out a new coffee shop or bar, attend a concert, or [insert fun activity here].
