I find it hard to summarize myself, but I will give it a try... I am a computer and design nerd (Love Macs and hate PCs) who tries to make computers easier for the rest of us to use. I talk to strangers. I like eastern philosophies and meditation. My hobbies include massage and energy work (e.g. reiki). I believe that adventure can be found anywhere with the right mindset (even buying groceries). I love meeting creative people. I tend to be shy on a first date, but I am definitely worth getting to know.

I feel like I should also include something about who I am looking to meet on here. I am looking for both fun people to hang out with, and someone to have a beautiful romance with. I am attracted to girls with an inner strength and a deep respect for those around them. In romance, I am looking for an equal. Someone who is there to support me and my goals and someone who isn't too proud to ask for help with theirs. I love nerdy girls because I can have a real conversation with them... and the glasses are hot too ;-)

Physically, I have always been a sucker for the Jewish nose... drives me wild for some reason. I like a slender frame with enough weight that the ribs don't show, but still with the inward curve at the waist... love the inward curve.

I make computers and electronic devices easier to use. This is an interesting field which involves psychology, industrial design, and computer science. I also volunteer, tutoring children at the local homeless shelter.

A lot of things really. I like to solve math theorems and such (I have a degree in mathematics). I am good with kids and teaching. I am good at both programming and graphic design. I am a good friend... I know how to listen, and I know what to say to help. I am a good healer (both massage and reiki). I succeed at most things I try.

One thing I am not so good at... learning russian. Every time I learn a new word, it pushes an old one out of my brain. Apparently there is only so much room in there...

My all-time favorite music is 80's new wave. I like most other types of music as well, with the exception of country (which ironically, is what my best friend listens to non-stop). Right now I am listening to Snow Patrol.

I mostly read non-fiction. That is not because I dislike fiction, but because I can put non-fiction down. I will pick up a novel and devour it. I will look at the clock and find it is suddenly 4 in the morning. The last fiction book I read was Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series (book 7). I am just starting book 8. There are several non-fiction books I am working my way through right now. I am reading a book by Richard Feynman on the theory of computation. I am also reading a book called "The Great Transformation" about the history of world religions.

I like two types of movies: those that really make you think, and those that let you turn your brain off for a while. Some of my favorites are: Serindipity, Donnie Darko, Three to Tango, The Fountain, Primer, Pride & Prejudice, Sneakers, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

My favorite TV Show of all time is Babylon 5. I love how all 5 seasons were planned out ahead of time, so that seemingly unimportant events happening in season 1 have a big effect by season 5. You have to watch the whole series more than once to fully experience this. I also love the classically russian influence on the characters/story.

Wonderfalls is a close second. Unfortunately, this series only had 13 episodes. If you haven't seen it, then go buy it right now (I'll wait)... you won't be disappointed. It was done by some of the same people who did "Firefly" (another favorite) and "Heroes".

That I use ellipses (...) entirely too often...

Bonus Confession: I spell check instant messages before sending them... which really makes them near-instant messages.

You live in the Bay Area, and are an interesting person. I am always looking for people to share adventures with.
