Looking for friends first or light dating, not so much the one-time hookups or going hardcore into finding a life partner. I'm open to stumbling into a relationship-grade gentleman, though. Having an exceptional sense of wit is key, and masculine is good. I tend to get along well with the intellectual, slightly nerdy types around my age (give or take five years, usually).

I did the SFU thing and got my BA in English/Publishing. Now I work in graphic design for print, which includes catalogues, packaging, and store display materials.

Just a bit on my interests. My official hobby is karaoke; almost every week I hit my regular spot and do a new tune, taking on the latest indie favorites, or the 80s hits that actually hold up, or even the painfully 90s rock or dance crap that you can't believe you remember. That's a hefty chunk of my creative outlet, which also includes drawing (whether physically or digitally) and experimenting with cooking.

I live in Coquitlam, but it's the good kind of Coquitlam, where it's practically Burnaby and not too far from all the fun stuff in Vancouver. While I greatly value living alone, and am the kind of person who needs quiet solo time, sometimes it would be nice to have a guy to fall asleep next to on the couch.

Pretty chill in this area. A simple dinner + dessert are always a good choice. Some say movies are a bad idea early on, but I like them if they're not too long and there's ample conversation about it afterward. Maybe see a concert — I've always wanted to catch one of those has-been bands reduced to playing their greatest hits in a casino theater. That might be a bit much, though, so some club gig would more than suffice. Wandering through stores just to make fun of the merchandise makes me smile.
