Love in a Time of H1N1/Cholera:

In my spare time I immerse myself in theater, music, film and literature. I also write the occasional run-on sentence-- but I spell traveling like that, not travelling like this, like a lot of you.

I'm passionate about philosophy, news/current events, and sports. I enjoy working out and trying new sports-- soccer and ultimate most recently. I'm looking forward to trying yoga and skiing soon.

I care about what goes on in the world and how I engage with it. I am an ambitious person with an indomitable spirit. I also consider myself a non-materialistic person, but I do enjoy records and a lot of books. Honesty, humility, and authenticity are all important parts of me.

With music, 90s indie stuff generally feels most like home to me: Pavement, Pixies, The Replacements, Guided By Voices... I like blues, classical, jazz, reggae and a little opera as well. I love seeing shows, and am always down for a road trip.

I'm intelligent and funny, but these sorts of things are better proven than stated.

I'm either the dying breed of or the beginning of a breed of ethnic-hippies.

I'm looking for people with similar interests and ideologies, so if this resonates, give me a shout. Like a lot of us I look forward to meeting new friends... and maybe even a real dandy lass.

*** I'm not into UFC, video games or dragon books. I don't own a sword or any other weaponry. I don't watch wrestling. I don't have clothing with shiny skulls. I haven't been in a fight since grade 6, when Brandon Peters and I briefly scuffled. I tend not to flash the bird in photos, and have never entered the World of Warcraft. I am my own worst critic, I.
