I'm relatively new to the area and just trying this out for kicks. I'm a fun, energetic person: I like going to new places and having big adventures. I like fun. I like someone who likes to laugh and make me laugh. Talking in silly voices and dancing to muzak in the grocery store are things I find pretty hot.

In my free time, I like going to art events, gallery openings, neighborhood bars, and festivals. I like doing things outdoors, like hiking, camping, riding my bike, snowboarding, kayaking, tailgating, boating, anything like that.

I work in the arts, helping inner-city kids. I'm very eco-conscious, and I'm a big-time democrat. So, I guess I'd have to say I don't date republicans. Or nascar fans. Not to sound picky or anything, but, well, that's just how it is.

Still reading? Wow, I'm impressed! I'm also into undercover nerds. Secret nerds who like to watch PBS documentaries on DVD and read all the time. But let's keep that between you and me.

For a first date, I'd like to keep it casual: just a drink or two, or a cup of coffee, or maybe share some french fries or something. I'd like to get together, see what we have in common, and see where it goes from there. No biggie!
