Who I'd like to meet

I'm down to meet anyone, but preferably sociable, kind, intelligent, funny people who understand bodies are natural and nothing to be ashamed of. I'm also interested in those who are sex-positive and generally to the left of the political isle. I'd also be interested in meeting other Trekkies, D&D enthusiasts, and people of the Jewish faith. (I'm a Jewish atheist, myself).

My Interests

I love to read and to write, and am currently outlining and rewriting things. I enjoy spas and the occasional trip to the bar, but mainly I enjoy quality time with friends. We don't have to even do anything: companionable silence is perfectly fine with me. That being said, I absolutely love badminton and bowling, so if you know of a naturist group and a place to go, let me know. I've been bowling since I was four, and the first birthday party I can remember was at a bowling alley. I also love to swim.

Movies

My favorite movies change with the tides. I'm just going to list 30 films I enjoy immensely in no particular order. If it doesn't appear on this list, it doesn't mean I don't like it. I'm a huge film guy as well. So, here goes: Dead Poets Society, Inglorious Basterds, The Shawshank Redemption, 12 Angry Men, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Green Mile, Blazing Saddles, Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back, The Breakfast Club, Airplane!, The Princess Bride, The Prince of Egypt, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Aliens, The Incredibles, Die Hard, The Silence of the Lambs, Star War (1977), Rocky II, Jaws, Back to the Future, Scream, Home Alone, Amadeus, Ghostbusters, Good Will Hunting, Batman (1989), The Godfather trilogy, and To Kill a Mockingbird

Music

I'm a huge music guy as well. My father had a massive CD collection with everything from Beethoven to Billy Joel. So as a kid, I listened to a lot of classical from the ages of like 1-5. Then, once I turned 6, I started listening to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Chucky Berry, the Isley Brothers, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, and so on. By the time I was 9 or 10, I was also listening to Blink 182, Nirvana, Weird Al (who was my first concert, by the way), Michael Jackson. and pretty much any rock singer, male or female. I also have a soft spot for 80s synth rock, especially Journey. That said, I also love hip-hop. The Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, NWA, Dr Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Biz Markie were the stuff I grew up on. And I don't mind the occasional country song. I sing and play piano actively now, and have played cello and trumpet in the past. I also like to write music.
