I recently moved back to the bay area after living in Japan and Hawaii. I’ve found that I grew up here and left without fully taking advantage of all the diverse activities I had at my disposal, and I’m determined to prevent a repeat. I'm a home body usually during the week but usually end up bouncing around during those scarce moments of work free bliss. I’m not as frenetic as that might sound. Those free moments can mean a night in or a night out I’m pretty comfortable with both. I straddle the line between an INTJ and INFJ if that means anything to you. In the end I guess you could say I'm looking for balance, work hard and play hard.

In my spare time I’m usually with friends or family or learning about something new. I like to tinker, usually with computers, though my current projects are tending my garden and building a photo voltaic solar array. Both very much a work in progress. I also enjoy running, I’ve got one marathon under my belt, my first and my last, hiking, cooking, especially eating, and traveling.

I work in quality control for a software firm. I'm happy to have a job that didn't exist in Hawaii because it's partially why I moved back. The other part being family.

Listening, being nerdy, and loyal.

Food:
- Anything and everything, and the spicier the better. I know it can sound immature but I pride myself on being able to try anything, usually more than once. I found it a major asset in Japan, and I've never turned anything down, except shellfish sold on the road side. Never a good idea.

I doubt anyone ever clicks this but I think it fits:

Problems with capitalism, problems with communism, what would a V for Vendetta revolution look like, epistemology, what it means to be anti-fragile, how much coffee it TOO much coffee, if I would survive the zombie apocalypse or any other world shattering event, the next fun thing I'd like to do, cooking, eating, socializing with friends...I think the link says it all.

With friends or family, exploring new places to hang out, and alway looking to expand.

Though I consider myself somewhat of a coffee purist, I usually take it with honey.

You're active, fun loving, upbeat, and laid back.
