i hate filling out these personal descriptions. Here's some succinct points:

Food: Spicy is best. Fruit > chocolate. Tea > coffee. RC > Pepsi > Coke.
No drugs/tobacco. Ever.
Beer > wine > liquor.
Reading: mostly non-fiction by now. I'm well educated and yet I never know enough. Must like to learn, discuss, debate.
Music/Concerts. From local bands to the symphony. All genres. For the most part...underground metal.
Art. from the museum to the daily comic strips. all mediums.
Travel - used to alot. not since i bought a house. i need a travel companion, me thinks
Pets - dog is truly man's best friend. i love all animals though.
Politics - Go Ron Paul! ...suport our troops, bring them home. i'm an independent. i never vote party lines.
Religion - proud of my heritage, but not a strict practicer.
TV - BBC news > US news. Comedy Central news shows, FX dramas. Greys Anatomy.
Sports - FOOTBALL. No Nascar. Ohio State, Steelers, Celtics, Indians.
Tatoos/Piecings - none. Fine for others, just not for me.
I'm reserved, so it's best if you're a bit more outgoing. Sarcasm, sass, spunk are all appreciated.

Not looking for:
hardline christians. obesity. jobless. carless. kids are fine, just no baby-daddy drama please.

I'm laid back so I like to keep first encounters casual. Drinks, some good food perhaps, hopefully some stimulating conversation. First "date" would cetainly be a bit more than a quick drink...it would depend on the person. Skydiving would rule. Lying in a park watching clouds in the sky might be nice too, picnic in tow.
