I make a living in front of a computer, but I often don't stay that way when I leave the office - hiking, cycling, and dancing are favorite ways of spending the non-cubicle hours. I'm also a bit of a travel junkie - I just returned from the amazing New Zealand, and the next overseas adventure is never that far away.

I've been told at various times that I'm friendly, warm, smart, thoughtful, self-aware, low-drama, and low-maintenance. And I'm somewhat of a contradiction - introverty, but crave social stuff. I treasure the down time, and its wonderful rejuvenating powers, but I'm also fueled by the pubs, live music, board games, soccer games, and other fun social gatherings.

You'll also be happy to know that I have some excellent habits. I'm well-versed in the art of cleaning things, I eat vegetables, and I'm a damn good listener!

Ultimately, I'm looking for a down-to-earth someone to share in fun stuff, adventure, chill time, shenanigans, etc. If you're similarly inclined, there's a stupendous chance we'll have fun.

Other than the stuff I already mentioned, I'd say I'm good at:

- dorkiness
- navigating
- photography
- not being judgmental
- travel planning
- eating green foods (grilled asparagus - yum)
- teaching the rules of games
- not getting pissed and turning evil when I lose games
- absorbing random bits of information

This is a work in progress, but here's what I have so far:

Music: Talking Heads, The Pixies, Thievery Corporation, funk, blues, New Wave-y 80s, Britpop, and much more.
Movies: Anything with a great story and well-developed characters. Some of my faves are Groundhog Day, Office Space, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Dr. Strangelove, Safety Not Guaranteed, Lost in Translation, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
TV: Don't watch much, but I'm quite fond of Breaking Bad and The Daily Show. I was somewhat addicted to Lost and Firefly in their heydays.
Books: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World. My new retro-licious favorite is Ready Player One.
Food: Sushi, Mexican, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, coffee

If I absolutely had to reduce it to six:
Music
Camera
Passport
Bicycle
Board Games
Awesome peeps

you're adventurous, thoughtful, passionate about something you like, and aren't afraid of your dorky side. A plus if you have stripe-y socks. Oh, and if you like coffee, that's pretty cool, too.
