Hi there. I'm Kim. For those of you that have stumbled upon my profile before, I'm still trying to figure out teleportation. Once again, no luck. If you've got any tips, feel free to share.

I'm well aware that this is a dating website but mostly just here to meet new and interesting people. I'm definitely open to dating, but only if I think you're really awesome and you can handle my current situation, at least while we're getting to know each other. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I believe communication is especially important in all kinds of relationships, including friendship. Please keep in mind that I'd much rather get to know who you are before any talk of dating.

I really, really like dancing! Swing dancing (lindy, jitterbug, and other), blues, and contra dancing are usually where you can find me partner dancing. Otherwise, I'm probably flailing around my room like a dork to whatever's on Pandora.

I also like to play games of different kinds. Video games, board games, trivia (though I'm not very good at it), and whatever else. I just got Arkham Horror, and I'd really like to play it. If you're game (pun lightly intended?), please send me a message! Also, if you play D&D and have room for a beginner in your game (in Tampa), I'm definitely interested.

I'm a secular humanist and soft atheist. If you aren't, that's all right with me. Tolerance is a beautiful thing. I'm also a fan of pastafarianism and Church of the Subgenius. Silly things are fun! I'm also a regular of Santarchy.

Also, since I'm not sure where else to put this, I have an awesome roommate, veggiedelight and two awesome neighbors, one of which is also on OkC (w_is_for_wise).

Sometimes I take a while to get back to people on OkCupid. If you have AIM and want to talk, send me a message with your screen name, and I'll try to get ahold of you there! :)

Setting the world record for jumping in place. (Since some of you couldn't tell that I'm joking.... no, I'm really not.)

Immediate goal: finish this Statistics degree from USF. If all goes well, I graduate in May.

Likely next step: become an actuary.

Things on the "to do" list:
- travel
- volunteer
- make an impact on humanity

Poking things. Keeping a straight face while I'm joking. Board games. Cooking.

"Wearing crazy hats." -clauderainsrm says, but I'm pretty sure he's fibbing.
"Kind, patient composure. Also, pianofying." --fireeyedblamp
"Dying...hair dyeing!" --veggiedelight
"Mooping" -- radicaldreamr (not to be confused with moping or mopping, which are quite different)

I'm probably not dead. (Unless I am, in which case they notice that I'm a damn fine corpse.)

Reading material: textbooks, stuff on teh intertubes, graphic novels, Carl Hiaasen, Neil Gaiman, Stephen Fry, McSweeney's, Dave Eggers, magazines, webcomics... anything well-written, even if it's about something that would seem pretty dull.

Movies: The Usual Suspects, Wes Anderson flicks, Miyazaki, Singin' in the Rain, The Lion King, Pulp Fiction (and some other Tarantino stuff), Shaun of the Dead, Persepolis, Black Sheep (baaa-haha), The (Old) Manchurian Candidate, Dr. Strangelove (etc) and probably other stuff that's not coming to mind.

Music: They Might Be Giants, Tom Waits, Ben Folds (Five), John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers, Neko Case, The Mountain Goats, The Decemberists (and Tarkio), Belle and Sebastian, Beirut, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Spoon, Stars, The Shins, Anúna... oldies, indie pop, bluegrass, older punkish stuff, experimental stuff... anything good, really...

Food: I love lots of different kinds of food, but I mostly prefer to eat at home. However, I'm always game for Ethiopian food, Korean food, or good Mediterranean cuisine.

Other Notables: Katamari Damacy, God of War, How It's Made, Kitchen Nightmares, Tony Hawk games, Portal, No Reservations, Law & Order (guilty pleasure), House, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Brotherhood 2.0, Questionable Content, XKCD, Perry Bible Fellowship, Dr. Steel, Sesame Street

I'm changing this question, because the answers are pretty obvious for most people. So, six things that I tend to notice:

1) the constellation Orion
2) the sound of a Honda engine starting up (hybrids excluded)
3) burning smells
4) I-IV-V songs
5) bad grammar and spelling
6) any time either Billy Joel or Vivaldi's "Spring" is playing as muzak

Everything!

Lately:
traveling (because I have MASSIVE amounts of wanderlust)
statistics
life
dancing
goals and how to accomplish them

...alive and well, and usually don't have any regularly-scheduled activity. Unless I have to work, Fridays are fairly unpredictable. Studying is always a possibility.

As a child, I was absolutely terrified of balloons, because I didn't like it when they popped. Once, on my sister's birthday, my dad chased me around the house with two balloons up under his shirt like a pair of boobs, and I hid in a closet for hours.

It's much funnier now than it was at the time. :) I still don't like the sound of balloons popping, but it's not enough to induce me into a closet-hiding state of high-pitched, shrieky panic.

You're happy and you know it. Oh, and you want to do fun and/or interesting things. Lately, I've been staying in more, due to necessity, but I'm still up for hanging out sometimes.

Interesting things (to me) include, but definitely aren't limited to: people who like to smile, crafty tendencies, movie nights, wandering around, baking/cooking, skee-ball (now called "ice ball" many places, though it's inferior to its predecessor), museums, shows, board games, swimming, leisurely bike rides, goofing around and treasure hunting in thrift stores and flea markets, music, reading, going to various carnivals and festivals, taking day trips, taking longer-than-a-day trips, video games, dancing (of the non-booty variety), parks, animals (of the non-spider variety), quirks, flavors, train rides, sculptures, boardwalks, foreign cultures, cheesy attractions, gardens, details and how they relate to a bigger picture, and delightfully genuine, imperfect, nice people.
