My self-summary
Something of an introvert and a self admitted nerd/dork. I come off and shy and quiet until I get comfortable, after that it's a different story. Any chance for adventure is a must, and if it scares me, I HAVE to try it. I have a passion to learn new things, enjoy taking classes, and love traveling - especially if I get to fly. I'm a compulsive reader, a gym hater and a martial arts drifter. I love technology, gadgets and anything that makes me think I'm in the future. My sense of humor is admittedly odd, it may not always translate.

I'm looking for someone with their own drive for adventure, who won't mind my nerdy ways and possibly has their own. If you can teach me to dance, bonus points.

I'm absolutely terrible at writing first messages, can you forgive me for that?
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a social worker with the persistently and severely mentally ill, so that takes up an awful lot of time. I'm reading when I have a free moment, dancing (badly) when I'm not paying attention, and writing for the hell of it. Sporadically doing some form of martial arts, physical activity and compulsively trying to learn new things.

Making plans.
Baking - Eating what I bake.
Being a compulsive reader
Making a mess in the kitchen.

You should message me if
you want to. Don't worry, I don't bite!

For those who read this far, an update:

I know how frustrating it can be to work on a decent message and then here nothing back. So that I can do my part, if you message me, I'll send you something back.

If you send hello, you'll be getting some variation of that.

If you send me an actual message, you'll probably get an actual conversation, regardless of whether or not I think we'd work. I always appreciate the effort and I'll always try to reciprocate back.

IF I don't get back to you, feel free to poke me. I often check these on my phone, but I don't respond on it. Sometimes though, the fact that I checked it, makes me think I responded.

I promise, I'm not ignoring you.
