I like reading, writing and travel. I make all kinds of computer art. I study foreign languages. I'm a health buff. I have an undergrad degree in Biotech, but I'm making computer games instead. I love learning anything. I'm not judgemental about drinking or drug use, but I don't like noisy bars or wild parties. I'm loyal and honest to the point of bluntness, but loving.


I'm really good at:
writing, wasting time, learning what friends want or need before they say it, rock climbing, identifying wild plants\Botany\taxonomy and knowing how they can be used (I'm better at the midwestern habitats where I grew up than the local desert, though.
My favorite books include:

(a) Lord of the Rings\LOTR(J.R.R. Tolkien), Contact (Carl Sagan), American Gods (Neil Gaimen), From the Soil\Rural China (Fei Xiaotong), The Bridge Across Forever, One (Richard Bach), Small Gods (Terry Pratchet), Peterson's Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants, various myths, Asimov's non-fiction essays, The Evolution of Infectious Diseases (Paul Ewald), Extinction (David Raup), The Princess Bride (William Goldman), At Home in Universe ( the Autobiography of Buckminster Fuller), Player Piano, Palm Sunday, Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons, (Kurt Vonnegut), Getting to Yes (The Harvard Negotiaton Project), The Mismeasure of Man (Stephen Jay Gould) (b) Groundhog Day, Lord of the Rings, Real Genius

Share a common interest?

I'm looking for friends as much as dates.

I just want to find some of those intelligent, unusual people that don't congregate in any place in particular.
