I never really know what to write for these things or how to describe myself. I tend to be somewhat geeky. I enjoy books, video games and anime. One of my major highlights each year is going to Otakon, a huge anime convention. I love making my own costumes for it, and would love to have someone to cosplay with.

I'm not just a geek, however. I also study martial arts and enjoy a lot of physical activities. I enjoy the outdoors, and camping, hiking or kayaking. I don't really watch sports, but I enjoy playing them from time to time, even if it's just frisbee on the beach.

I'm generally pretty open to trying new things. I may not always like it, but I'll give most things a shot. I'm also not usually shy, I'm not afraid to get out there and have the spotlight on me at times. I often do things just to laugh at the reactions I get from other people.

I am somewhat involved in the historical world, working with a local volunteer archaeology group. I do enjoy museums, but I'm not as passionate about it as some of my other family members. It's an interesting hobby, but I'm not obsessive about it.

I've also had a lot of very varied experiences in my life. For example, I've met (and been photographed with) one former president and several other politicians from all levels. I've appeared on tv several times. I've modeled for two sculptures, one painting and a book. I've been in the newspapers, including the New York Times. And I've seen and done a lot of things that most people never get the chance to.

I'm looking for someone who I can have fun with, but also someone that I can enjoy quiet times with. I can be very wild and playful at times, but I also have a quiet side and serious sides and philosophical sides. I also tend to be very physically affectionate. Even if it is just a touch, or holding hands, I like to make contact. I can be romantic as well. I often send little gifts or messages to let you know I'm thinking of you. For instance, if I hear a song on the radio that I think you'd like or that makes me think of you I'll find it and send you a copy. Or I'll send flowers just because I thought you needed a smile.

Loyalty is a big thing for me, along with trust. I would never cheat, and could not be with someone who does. I'd have to trust you and you'd have to trust me to make things work.

I'm trying to find a long term or permanent relationship. My last relationship lasted 6 years. We parted as friends because we both had dreams we were following and they took us too far away from one another to make things work. I'd like to find something like that again, but have little luck meeting girls. I'm not in to one night stands. Sex is an incredibly intimate act, and not something I would share with someone I did not love and care about.
