I love discovering new things and interesting people, and I live for sharing those discoveries. I'm adventurous, affectionate, and extremely open-minded about... well, almost everything. I'm always up for exploring and would love to do it with you.

I'm basically a square hippie nerd: Jubal Harshaw on a good day, Monsieur Meursault on a really good day, Gregor Samsa on those days I wake up as a beetle. And if you don't know who those people are off the top of your head, it's ok; literary references can eat a bag of dicks.

For now? Singing, studying, watching movies, solving puzzles, playing frisbee, reading... Medium-term? Saving the world. Long-term? Thermodynamic heat death.

I'm just starting out a new job, so I'm afraid I don't have too much extra time on my hands these days... But I'd never let that stop me from keeping an eye out for a new partner in crime. :)

Mediating arguments, being a good listener, raising the awkwardness level, getting incredibly intoxicated, staying up late, playing two-letter words in Scrabble, walk of shaming it back uptown with hair that could best be described as unfortunate, raising the awkwardness level... Did I mention raising the awkwardness level?

I'm pensive and honest, and my sense of humor makes me liable to burst out laughing when no one else is.

I've also realized that my favorite beverage, far and away, is lemonade.

Trust, affection, rationality, imagination, spontaneity, and a good pair of headphones.

I'll admit most things, if they're true... (and some that aren't).

you want me to message you back; you want to go to a park.
