Currently taken. You snooze you lose. (6/27/2008)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been told that I need to be more of an a**hole with women. Not going to happen. So if you're into jerks, just go ahead and click the next profile.
Still with me?
I don't take myself - or much of anything - too seriously. I try to let the little things slide and I don't worry about appearances. Given the option of looking good or having fun, I'll choose fun every time.
Always up for an adventure, especially if I have company. Road trip to Virginia? Pillow fight in Union Square? Munich for Oktoberfest? Yes, yes and hells yeah. I tried hiking the whole Appalachian Trail after college... but that 110-mile debacle is a story for another time. Still, the outdoors fix is key and I'll usually spend one of my vacation weeks safely out of cell range. The canyonlands are a favorite.
I'm an intellectual at heart, but never a snob (or so I hope). A conversation with my friends will range from philosophy to trash TV to history to physics to zombie apocalypse survival strategies, peppered with obscure pop culture references and occasionally shattering world records for geekdom (cf. xkcd). I like having fun with language and I treasure people who challenge me with new ideas and/or good banter. I'm a fan of the sarcastic arts and it puzzles me when people talk about it like a degenerative medical condition: "Just to warn you, I have stage 4 sarcasm. Please love me anyway."
Who I'm looking for: You can laugh at yourself, and at life in general. You're kind, generous and smart. You have lots of crazy ideas and want an enthusiastic partner in crime. You read this far and you're not afraid to say hi.
Something low-key and quiet so we can talk. Shooting pool. A walk in the park. Coffee. Skee ball. A baseball game. Something fun and simple where we can maybe forget that we're on a FIRST DATE and just enjoy getting to know each other.
