A few tidbits about me:

-I look people in the eye and listen when they talk
-I exercise, study, and eat well
-I don't own a TV, but I love movies
-I have lots of friends and am happiest when we're convulsing with laughter together
-Just saw a Lucha Libre match the other night (probably won’t go again, but for the cultural experience, it can’t be beat)
-Love to travel – so far I've made it to every continent except Australia
-Speak Spanish well enough to get a job with it
-Reading “White Teeth” by Zadie Smith
-Never owned a dog, but I think I’d like to
-Sewed my own sleeping bag and other outdoor gear
-Favorite thing to barbeque: peaches. Try it. (no joke)

-Music I’ve been listening to recently: John Prine, Radiohead, Moldy Peaches, Charles Trenet, Gogol Bordello, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Charlie Parker, The Flaming Lips, Nina Nastasia, Buena Vista Social Club, Gomez, Eddie Vedder, Morphine, Wilco

-My profession, goals, and general direction in the world: intentionally left to your imagination. Hints: It’s awesome but a little dorky, involves international travel, lots of education, kinda long hours, and allows me to work with the entire spectrum of humanity. Guess away.

-My ideal weekend: Relax Friday night with either a mellow evening at home or a night on the town. On Saturday, I like something active and outside with friends (and maybe you?) like climbing, skiing, or hiking followed by a meal out. On Sunday, breakfast is one of my favorite things followed by something invigorating but not over the top (a walk outside if it’s nice, tackling a long-standing chore that’s been nagging, learning to cook a new meal…lots of stuff) followed by a lazy Sunday evening with a cup of tea or a glass of wine.

-A small smattering of the adjectives I describe my favorite people with:

-honest
-self-aware
-honest (it’s important)
-responsible
-respectable
-delectable
-quirky
-honest (really important)
-tough
-goofy
-grounded
-sincere
-confident
-energetic
-nerdy
-fit
-experienced
-open
-clairvoyant (not required, but nice)
-humble
-hilarious
-hygienic
-articulate
-authentic
-athletic
-calisthenic
-down to earth
-gutsy
-grounded
-courageous
-brave
-not afraid to act or speak or do the right thing, even when it’s scary
-bawdy (just a little)
-culinary
-effervescent
-bioluminescent

At this point, I’m not looking for anything super serious, mostly out to joke around and have fun. But for the right person, I’ll go there for sure.

1)Get caffeinated
2)Size each other up and see if we want to be friends
3)Talk and laugh for a while

Doesn't matter where.
