I'm more of a wise-old-soul than a young-at-heart person. Pretty laid back and open. I can't tolerate passive aggressiveness. You can pretty much count on me to be honest about my needs. I like processing my reality and getting something of value from it all, whether my experiences are positive or negative. I feel that to learn from them is to give them worth & meaning.

I approach it with grace, I've been told. I try not to take it too seriously, but I'm pretty good at not taking things for granted. My family supports me. My friendships sustain me. My job challenges me. Ultimate frisbee and b&w photography occupy my free time. Yoga grounds me. Travel fulfills many of my needs. So, I'm looking for someone with whom to experience all of this...

... packing a car (and tetris)
... making s'mores (though I don't eat them)
... making people scratch on the 8-ball (but that's my only pool skill)
Those are my super powers.
More generally, I'm good at
... creating efficient systems
... making genuine connections with people
... traveling

Movies: The Princess Bride, The English Patient, The Big Lebowski, The Usual Suspects, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Music: I care less about music than anyone I know... It's not that I dislike it, I just don't remember to listen.

Food: People think that I'm healthy since I don't eat meat or drink alcohol. Actually, I'm just addicted to sugar. But I also love good healthy food... Indian and Thai-- yum!

my family, massages, laughter, bhakti chai, photographs, fire

having chilled-out type fun-- potluck or game night w/ friends, happy hour w/ my work buddies, movie w/ my brother
