I am irreverent, inquisitive, and inimitable.

My Self-Summary

i'm both easygoing and engaged, and i like to analyze the world without taking it (or myself) too seriously. when i'm with the right people, i can be smart, funny, fascinated by almost everything, affectionate, compassionate, and a good conversationalist. i put effort into understanding and communicating my emotions, and i care about the perspectives of others - after all, no two of us experience life in quite the same way. i have strong political and intellectual convictions, and i spend a lot of time with books and ideas, but i balance these with pleasure in art, good food, friends, travel, and a wide-ranging interest in music. the friends i value most are those who make me laugh and who want to talk it through when things get tough. i'm looking for a man who shares my curiosity and eclectic interest in culture and politics, has an off-beat sense of humor (or who enjoys mine!), values honesty and emotional growth in a relationship, and is physically and emotionally affectionate.

What I’m doing with my life

Transitioning from a graduate program in cultural anthropology to a job search. Enjoying not writing a dissertation.

I’m really good at

Having fun in the kitchen, playing with kids, listening, collaborating, learning languages, traveling to new places...

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm friendly and like talking to people.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I have very eclectic tastes in all of these categories and tend not to be genre-bound in realms of creativity. That said, I have a weakness for dark chocolate, abstract expressionism, British costume dramas, and good science fiction movies. Music? Hmm...I really miss Nic Harcourt's Morning Becomes Eclectic radio show - that pretty much says it all.

The six things I could never do without

People who care about me.
Books.
Nature.
Hot water.
everything else is negotiable

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The uncertain future of the planet, my own near future, and lots in between.

On a typical Friday night I am

On my ideal Friday night I'm having dinner, telling stories and laughing with friends. Or I'm at a yoga class. Or at a movie.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

OKC has really got it wrong with its assessment of my "personality traits."

You should message me if

...even if...you feel shy, since most of us do!
