About Me
For a point- I just finished up my grad school ecological research in Saskatoon, and have recently moved back to Guelph to spend some time with my family until the next adventure. I've been in two long term relationships and never really "dated" much before. The one exception to this is a girl a met a couple months ago on meetville. She was my first meetville experience and it went really well until I moved back to Guelph, so I'm not sure why everyone complains about their experiences on this site.I think one of my favourite things to do is experience the high that comes with bridging gaps in communication. Sitting with someone that doesn't speak your language and trying to communicate ideas using any means necessary can be thrilling and rewarding. As such, I have backpacked much of Asia, and intend to explore South America next. Having grown up with access to a grandparent's cottage and experiencing the joys of camping, I also have dreams to canoe across the country before I get much older.Though I can't dance for beans, and I wouldn't recommend trying to force me, I have been known to dance around the kitchen while cooking to some Jethro Tull. I love music and the power it has to move people, emotionally and physically. I can occasionally be moved myself, but only under the right conditions.Am learning Mandarin (still a long way to go) and French, and it's somewhat cliche, but I want a labrador retriever. I have a python-esque sense of humor, love the absurd and can be overly sarcastic at times. I don't have and don't want a car. Sure it'd be useful every now and then, but I love a good walk, especially the aimless ones. Though I won't shy from intimacy, I'm not particularly forward, and actually appreciate that quality in a woman. I doubt I'll be sending many first contact messages here, as I tend to be attracted to those who are attracted to me. That said, if you've found yourself on my favourites list (I find this whole "shopping for people" thing kinda weird - somewhat creepy), you can probably expect a message at some point, as I'm working on actually pursuing what I want (in all aspects of life), rather than just waiting for it to come to me. It just might take me some time to get around to messaging you, as I'm fairly busy at the moment and my written creativity is at an all-time low. And finally, the best part of the sales pitch: I am unemployed and living with my parents. Seriously. Yep, seriously. But it's only for a month or two while I help my mother get set up in a new house and cope with my father with Alzheimer's. I've just finished school (yet again) and I'm looking for a good job somewhere within a few hours driving distance of Guelph, so as to be able to visit occasionally.Here are some other tidbits that might make me unique;-compost (second try)No back-hair to speak ofIn fact, no back-hair whatsoeverSurvived a Pakistani hotel room police raidLove dogsAchieved a record number of detentions in grade 4 French class ***Never dyed my hairNever been arrested for treasonNever yelled at a girlfriendForgot lines during grade 5 speech and ran out of room cryingReviled by service staff everywhere for lousy tippingOwn a boat....licenseHaven't owned a TV for years and don't intend to - however I do enjoy an episode or two of most space related showsNever been in a real fightBeen humbled by nature on countless occasionsFed greasy pan fish bits to an ancient lake turtleSuffer from occasional beard envyLove hugsNever seen a walrusFlail around awkwardly on a dance floorMake tacos and homemade spaghetti sauce more often than is good for me I've also often wondered what a date would be like in 100% silence...and not one of those awkward silences; but an agreed upon set of rules, whereby the only communication allowed would be through gestures, actions and facial expressions. Never done it, and it might be a disaster, but it could also be fun and exciting.
