Too many activities and hobbies fascinate me.
Favorite Songs:
I honestly enjoy most music, from indie to classic rock to experimental to jazz to classical symphonies to mainstream top hits to 80s music, you name it...but I've had a difficult time easing my way into liking country music. I can, however, respect it.
Favorite Band: Radiohead and Depeche Mode

Also, I used to watch Anime (Japanese with English subtitles are the best)
Craziest Thing I've Ever Done:
--Perhaps some of the exciting and sexual stuff I've done through MFC.
--Rock-climbing in Utah horizontally, (yes, horizontally --not vertically) while noticing many viper snake holes every which way.
--Basically riding any of the insane but thrilling rides in Vienna's Prater Amusement Park -- these rides are out of this world (or at least, outside the realm of the United States).
--Riding in a fast-moving bus on the cliffs in northern Philippines on an extremely narrow and dangerous road while other vehicles sped by us like it was nothing.
--Climbing up the narrow Notre Dame spiral stairs to see a wondrous, panoramic view of Paris.
--Climbing up the narrow Blarney Castle stairs that holds the Blarney Stone (holds the gift of gab which I couldn't stomach to kiss because I was being a germophobe at the time, haha).
So, I guess I haven't done anything "too crazy" but I like to write, so I figured I'd mention some of the above in my profile. If you want to know about any wild sexual encounters I've experienced, private message me.
If I Could Be Anywhere Right Now:
Well, I try to live in the now, in the present... while being content and humble, whether I'm in the worst or best of a situation. And yes, that can be more difficult than imaginable.
Hobbies:
--Eating (oh, wait -- you already knew that)
--Sleeping (trying not to take too many naps, but boy, does it feel good unless you have one of those naps where you wake up and feel like someone knocked you out)
--Reading (fiction but mostly nonfiction -- credible articles is a favorite of mine as well)
--Driving and/or taking road trips (listening to music while driving is so therapeutic -- so in that sense, it's not just about the destination, wink)
--Being a history and trivia buff
--Being a glutton for punishment by watching politics
--Traveling (the history, food, architecture, culture - oh, my!)
--Running/jogging in scenic areas while listening to music
--Hiking (I especially love Acadia National Park in Maine)
--Cooking (making food from scratch and following recipes to the T is so rewarding -- organic and natural ingredients is a bonus)
--Watching a movie at an actual movie theater and/or enjoying a concert (I adore the energy and feeling of everyone being focused on the same thing)
--Volunteering and fostering dogs (need to do it more than just pondering about it though!)
--Shoveling snow (so therapeutic)
--Smiling at strangers (why not, right?)
--Eating breakfast at midnight
--Periodically checking Twitter and media outlets to be in the know
--Watching shooting stars/meteorites
--Enjoying being a Sagittarius because Sag characteristics fit me more than I like to admit
--Adding items to my online cart and then closing my browser before purchasing anything
--Anticipating and watching the summer Olympics, the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers (well, mostly when Polamalu was on the team - those times) games, Tennis Grand Slams (Del Potro!), used to be into the Philadelphia Flyers' NHL games (Wayne Simmonds!). So, I mostly stick to tennis and golf now.
...I tend to stay away from detrimental activities nowadays, including reality TV filled with drama or anything that is unnecessarily distracting.
The list could go on, so basically, I could continue to mention endless hobbies to this list, but I wont. You probably get the gist of it all, haha. Definitely get to know me through conversing!
Oh, and one more thing - I like teasing and making guys explode.
Talents:
I can blow bubbles out of my mouth (it's not that gross, I promise, haha)
I'm looking into getting a dancing pole. They're sexy, elegant, and physically beneficial -- hopefully someone will get me one as a gift, hehe -- so be on the look-out for me using one in the future. :)
Perfect Mate:
Someone that treats their waiter with respect. That kind of person. Also, someone I can have an intelligent and enlightening conversation with no matter the topic.
Perfect Date:
I'm pretty easy-going and adventurous! So, if my date is a gentleman and enjoys the simple things life has to offer in whichever activity we do (and neither of us wind up in the hospital or murdered by the end of the date), I'll consider that a perfect date, haha. It helps to have a lot of the same interest, hobbies and views, but I love discussing different viewpoints, of course!
Turn Ons/Offs:
Turn offs: Those that do not have respect for all lives and nature. Oh, and those that litter.
Turn ons: Those that stop at a stop sign and look both ways.
Best Reason to Get to Know Me:
My DSL, of course -- haha, I kid! But honestly, to tackle this section, all I have to say is:
That's a matter of perspective. Find out and let me know. :)
