A Philly transplant by way of Wisconsin, I like comic books and roller derby, terrible science fiction movies and great food that looks more dangerous than it really is.

More often than not, I get described as a wiseass. I'm often pretty quiet the first time you meet me, but if I like you, I warm up quick.

I love adventures and adventuring, just not in your typical Colorado-an sense. I prefer my death-defying in the form of castle spelunking, reverse escalator riding, haunted prison wrestling, road trip navigating, and/or various other events that may or maynot someday get me dead.

What I Do With My Life:
I'm currently a full time grad student. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.

When I'm not up to my ears in gradschoolations, I pretend to be invested in bartending (was previously, not currently), climb as many things with as few ropes as I can, and try to make time for prize winning bar sports. It's a tough life, but someone's gotta live it.

(If you have interests BESIDES skiing/hiking/snowboarding, that would be awesome. I like these things just as much as the next person, but come ON Colorado. I know you're more interesting than this.)


Stuff I Like:
(I feel like I should mention that this is by no means a finite list, or even a checklist. Please, dear god, do not use it as a checklist. I love it when people have their own interests. That being said, I do thinks that common interests account for something... like, if I like discordian avant-metal (I do. A lot.) and your favourite frontman is Scott Stapp, or I like dinosaurs and you like Kirk Cameron, then, y'know, we're probably not going to jive.)

--Bahhaha, no way, interwebz. I figured out why the cohobots wouldn't accept my profile the first time 'round - turns out Josie and the ARCHIE COMIC BOOK BAND THAT MENTIONS KITTENS is a naughty word 'round there here parts. Oh my god, I can't stop laughing.--

What I'm doing here:
Seeing as POF only lets you check one little boxy thing, I should mention that I'm looking for friends, hang outs, adventures, dating, etc etc etc. Right now I'm more interested in making connections with new people and figuring where/how they might fit in to my life than with finding "The One", and all the nonsense that goes along with that. Is there a new restaurant or strange cultural event that needs to be checked out? AWESOME. Do you need someone to fill that gaping void in your life that can only be salved with the unrelenting affection of a soulmate? Eh. Go fish.

--Seeing as POF only retains email for 14 days (seriously, wtf.), my shortterm memory and I might message you more than once. Feel free to call me out on it. Likewise, if you don't hear from me and think that maybe I just missed you... it's probably true. I can't even rustle up a paper submission in 2 weeks, let alone a meaningful connection with a real live interweb persona.

Mini golf, a hike... anything active, that encourages conversation and cuts down on the awkward silences that inevitably happen when you meet someone from the interwebz.

Coffee dates are my idea of hell.
