Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?

About Me

I'm a cynical, disillusioned, musical person. I'm fairly reserved, but I can be funny and outgoing if the other person is friendly and interesting. People have described me as intense. I have a dark and sarcastic sense of humor. I like to hang out with friends whether it's going out and having fun or just chatting about our various woes over dinner. My passions revolve around reading/buying/collecting/hoarding books and music. In addition to my science job, I play violin in several symphonies and other freelance work. I'm also a geek; I love things like Star Trek, scifi conventions, and my favorite book genre is fantasy/sci-fi.

My Interests

science, music, chamber music, orchestra, animals, books, reading, sleeping, shopping for books, cold weather, dining out, DragonCon, going to the symphony, outdoors (when it's 70 F degrees or below), nature, photography, hanging out with friends, traveling, winter, autumn, sarcasm, intelligence

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who values respect, trust, honesty, and loyalty in all relationships. Someone who understands and accepts me for who I am. Musicians who love music for music's sake and not because they have to do it for a living, scientists, and sci-fi fans who are interesting. People who like to read, and I mean reading REAL BOOKS, not tabloids or trashy celebrity magazines. People who like to eat real seafood which does not include fish sticks or canned tuna. Fun, funny, intelligent, creative, cultured, sarcastic people.
Here's a list of people I DO NOT want to meet. I don't like people who think they are being cute and clever, but who actually come off being ignorant, idiotic, and immature. I will not tolerate stupidity, cockiness, game players, wishy-washy natures, lack of ambition, loudness, narrow-mindedness, people who waste my time, people who think they're the shit but are big fish in little ponds, people who talk but have nothing to say, people who don't listen, bullshitters, liars, backstabbers, turncoats, fair weather friends, cowards, two-faces, and people who ignore all of the above and still proceed to contact me.
