I enjoy music, gaming, motor vehicles, collecting, and computers (typical guy stuff). I am an amateur writer and poet. I enjoy beer (including brewing my own) and wine, especially with friends. History, mythology, politics, skepticism, and debating, among others, rock my mind. Religion is also a topic of discussion, I just don't have a need for it personally. (Agnostic Atheist!) I own both a Mac desktop and PC laptop and can survive a trip into Linux-land. I am a staffer of Sakura-Con and enjoy anime/manga; and animation/comics generally. I also host an up and coming podcast, Back 2 Square 1! Currently, I'm back in school at UW-T. As for the raccoon? Well, Curtis T. is there to make random people smile and make their day just a little better. He makes a great conversation piece, too!

If you really wanna know more about me, ask! (That is, write me and say hi.) As for what I am looking for? Well, I'll know her when I see her. That is to say I enjoy a broad range of women, both in body and mind. Should I be picky, I look for someone who is not shy about her intelligence (and perhaps enjoys a good debate/discussion). I enjoy independence without neglect on both ends. Someone who can mix well with my friends and can be my equal. I prefer not to deal with drama whores (though as it is human to error, so too is it human to have [some level of] drama). Someone who can make me smile and likes the same. I don't expect perfection in looks, intellect, or personal life, but I do expect a willingness to make things better than they are.

Honestly, with school being my top priority, and work (and podcasting) taking up most of what is left of my week, I have little time to commit to a serious relationship. If she's willing to put up with my lack of free time, I'll entertain the idea of something more but for now the best relationship might resemble "friends with benefits" than anything (and hence the "dating" label). I am certainly hoping for something better than that but again I'm flexible to an extent. I'd rather not waste a lady's time by promising something I cannot keep.

Movie, Alki, Tully's, Seahawks, Pike Place Market, Marniers, Tap House, Sounders, Daily Grill, Uwajimaya, Starbucks, Cheesecake Factory, The Rock, mall hopping; whatever is cleaver.
