About Me

Things I love:
.. autumn .. upper Midwest winters .. the colors green & grey .. cool misty days .. hot sweaty nights .. thunderstorms .. tallgrass prairies in late summer .. rainforests at night .. dark nights & new moons .. sunset .. the darkness before dawn .. dogs & snakes .. college football .. melancholy music .. poetry .. South America .. stained glass .. firelight & candles .. tattoos .. little dive bars .. bourbon straight up .. passionate living ..

I'm a grad student in biology at the University of New Mexico--I study snakes (and NO, that is NOT a euphemism so don't send me creepy messages!).

My Interests

In no particular order....

Writing ... Anything outdoors--hiking in the mountains or the bosque or other neat places (preferably with my dog, Duncan), camping, canoeing/kayaking, etc. ... Playing with my dog ... Anything related to the Iowa Hawkeyes! ... Sports (particularly football and basketball) ... Cooking ... Travelling in Peru ... Biology and nature, especially reptiles and botany ... Spending time with the terrific family I never get to see anymore ... Bailando con mis chicas ... Listening to music (live or otherwise) ... Relaxing with my friends with some good brews (or bourbon, as the case may be!), good music, and good conversation ... Sleeping in on weekends....

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, Hawkeyes, artists, biologists, unique people with something to say...but I am NOT interested in being part of someone's "collection" of MySpace girls. You have something interesting to say, message me--with something other than UR HOT or something equally uncreative--before you friend-request me!
