I am intellectual, odd, and sweet.

My Self-Summary

I suppose I ought to describe my personality. I'm smart, loyal, and quirky. I'm not a morning person, but I tend to bring a lot of enthusiasm to anything I choose to do, and that includes getting started on the day. I always do a bit of hiking whenever I have time, but I have not done much hiking since moving to California. Still, I know some really nice trails in the Smokey Mountains, in the Redwoods, and in the mountains around Salt Lake City. Some hikes are too beautiful not to share and I'd love to share some of the better views with someone, wherever I am. I like dancing, too, (except for line-dancing - too much potential for getting trampled ;) ).

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a scientific researcher (Biochemistry) and I have now settled in Davis, California, having completed a series of short postings in California, Denmark (Copenhagen), North Carolina (Raleigh), and China (Beijing). Getting to see the world was great for a couple of years, but getting to stop and settle in one place is pretty darn nice too. Still, I like traveling enough that I'll probably be traveling for the next few vacations; there's still too much of the world I have not seen yet and lots of places worth revisiting.

The first things people usually notice about me

I come at things from an odd angle. I tend to give thoughtful answers to trite social questions, just to cause people to think about things. I'm the sort of guy who will sometimes answer the question "What's up?" by saying either "Ceiling tiles." or "Several miles of atmosphere and then the broad, broad universe." rather than the expected answer.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I'm a music fanatic and I listen to a lot of different kinds of music... It's harder to list what I'm into than to list what I'm not into; modern jazz (too self-referential and undirected), hip-hop (10,000,000 songs about butts), and country (mostly emotional appeals that don't resonate with me). Currently, I've been listening to a lot of Death Cab for Cutie and Faun.

The six things I could never do without

Three things I can't do without... Air, food, and drinkable water. Pretty much everything else is optional to some degree, isn't it? Things I'd miss greatly if they went away is a different question. On that list, I'd include freedom, literature, and music.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Everything. An examined life is a fullfilling life.

On a typical Friday night I am

Either having a beer with coworkers or going to a yoga class.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Hm. I've been writing stories for my nephews and niece. My family keeps trying to get me to look into publishing them, but I don't think I ever will. I'm happy enough being the favorite author of an extremely limited group of kids, ages 3-6.

You should message me if

You are smart, single, female, interested in lots of different things and experiences, confident, and looking for an equal with whom to share your time.
