I am happy, friendly, and adventurous.

My Self-Summary

I'm a an idealist and an optimist. I'm opinionated, but open-minded and listen to others' points of view, so don't be afraid to discuss controversial subjects with me. I'll take a 50-mile bike ride over a day at the spa anytime. I think Gimme! makes the best coffee on the face of the earth. I would much rather do something than talk about doing something. Insects creep me out, but I think spiders are awesome.

What I’m doing with my life

I work with professors and grad students at Cornell. My official generic job title is Admin Asst, but I think a more accurate description is "Cat Herder." I enjoy it, but I want to find something more meaningful to do with my life eventually. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly that is, and I'm probably going to wait until my son is a little older before going back to school to work on a master's or PhD.

In the meantime, my passions are road biking, mountain biking, and cross country skiing, and I try to convince as many other people as I can that this is a good way to spend their spare time. That way I have plenty of other people with whom I can do these things. How about you? Are you up for it?

I’m really good at

having conversations with people. I have an uncanny ability to get along well with "difficult" types, and most people feel completely at ease around me. I'm also pretty good at landscape and nature photography, sketching, and writing.

The first things people usually notice about me

My smile and my blue eyes.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Favorite books: thrillers, politics, romance
Movies: thrillers, documentaries, romantic comedies, independent films
Music: There isn't much I don't like. If it has a decent melody, and I can sing along with it, fantastic. My favorite genres tend to be rock (Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Ayurveda, Jack Johnson), but there is a good bit of classical (Mozart, Camille Saint-Saëns), punk (Bad Religion, Green Day), and folk (Five2, Menage), that I listen to as well.
Food: I love ethnic foods, with Mexican and Thai topping the list.

The six things I could never do without

People to love
coffee in the morning (seriously, I can't function w/o it)
My cd collection
Books
My bikes
My skis

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Politics, current events, and their impact on society, what can I do personally to change situations I'm not keen on, do bats migrate or hibernate during the winter?, what the heck does "radcliffy" mean?, why do people spend so much time complaining about things instead of doing something about it?, planning my next bike ride; where to go for the next vacation (Montreal?); ways to teach my son personal responsibility and self-sufficiency, and daydreaming about random, less important, yet completely amusing things.

On a typical Friday night I am

Doing laundry? Seriously, it's the best time because no one else is using the laundry facilities, and then it's done for the week! Okay, besides that, reading one of the many books I have lined up on the coffee table waiting to be read, or watching a Netflix movie, or hanging out with friends if someone's having a get-together, or less frequently, catching one of the many awesome live bands in the area!

You should message me if

If you think we have some things in common, and you'd like to get to know me better.
