About Me

more pictures at www.penpen.ca :)
i'm a transplant to seattle since sept 05, to work for some unnamed software giant in the puget sound area. life is alright out here, and i'm slowly starting to put roots down as i meet more people. i'm leary about doing so, as my heart is still back home in toronto, but i know that some of the friendships i've made here will outlast wherever it is that my wanderer's ways will take me :)
besides being a nerd by trade, i love trying new things, adrenaline and adventure. hobbies i am more recently passionate about include my cars and my bikes. i enjoy working on these and tracking them. snowboarding is good in the winter when i can't do these, though :) i've done stuff from snorkeling to skydiving, rock climbing to canoe tripping, and hope to continue to broaden my experiences.
in my down time i've taken to going to the gym and yoga, chilling with friends, cooking, and killing orchids (i may have a black thumb :( but i love gardening!).
i'm actually kinda shy too. sociable, but shy. you'll never catch me dancing on the bar drunk. i act like a big dork as well. what have i got to lose, eh :)
i think that's all.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

let me tell you who i DON'T want to meet first:
myspace DJs, spammers and friend whores, no. people who aren't local unless i know you.. really, what's the point? at least say hi or something first. and other random folk unless i see an obvious link between mutual friends... please have the courtesy to drop me a line first.

who i do want to meet?
people who can carry a conversation, people to ride with that aren't complete jacknobs, more canucks down souf of the border eh, girls who are into cars and bikes (and not just sitting pretty on 'em), and plain ol' good peoples. you know the kind.

i like down to earth people who are also adventurous and like to fly by the seat of their pants :)

life is short. sleep when you're dead!
