I have a lot to offer, including the points listed above. Read on to learn about me in greater detail.

Destination: I'm looking forward to escaping suburbia for a life in Toronto. Nature is my playground, but I feel at home in cities.

Health: My energy ranges from methodical calm to sugar-blooded pixie. I stay in shape without depending on gymnasia or organized sports. I don't have any tattoos, piercings, or other modifications.

Productivity: I keep current on political and environmental issues to help decide how to build a better tomorrow. My job is an awesome and challenging one that allows me to serve in this capacity. As long as my brain can receive information and communicate ideas, I will always be highly employable. Nothing stresses me because every problem has a solution.

Amusements: I am never bored. Human powered outdoor activities enthrall me, although I tend to shy away from "extreme" sports. To relax, I read, write letters, play with my cats, watch a movie, or flail my arms wildly with a Wii. I savour the opportunity to try new and exotic food. I enjoy nearly all genres of music and film, including foreign cinema and B horror movies.

Partnership: My needs are pretty simple. It's nice to have accompaniment while traveling or trying something new, but I can do these alone, and I admire people who are equally self-sufficient. I can cook and care for myself, so all I ultimately desire is mutual appreciation and affection. Equally valued are the little things like sharing what's on our minds, having someone to go out with on special occasions, and getting to know another family.

If you made it down this far, you've either skipped some sections, or you're an inquisitive sort. You should send me a message if the latter is true, but if you don't know what to say, I suggest the subject "Citizens Rejoice as Cloned Dinosaurs Ravage Parliament".

Going for a walk and telling stories has long been my favourite way to make an introduction, but I'm open to other suggestions. I'm a saver, so free activities would be preferred.

Let's start as strangers, become friends, and progress from there, depending on the chemistry. It's like the way gorillas welcome others into their groups.
