  About me and who I'd like to date 
    My life is perfect right now, except it's lacking some adventure. I love books and learning new things, perhaps to an extreme, so you can't think it's a character defect to diagram Plato's logic or to worry about how Bottom's Pyramus and Thisbe mirrors falling in love. I like doing all kinds of things, from watching football on Sunday afternoon to a night at the opera, but right now I'm focusing on getting back outside after four years in snowy, flat Chicago (hiking, running, and exploring all top my current list). I like volunteering and am very friendly. I can be pretty sarcastic, and I think big words are funny (how can you not laugh at "lugubrious"?).

I'm looking for someone who knows how to recognize truly good people. Whether I count or not, that's what the people I love all have in common. They're also socially adept enough to make good use of their judgment. You don't have to be a nerd yourself, but you do have to admire the amount of useless knowledge some people can accrue.
