Richmond, british_columbia vegetarians, vegans and raw foodist events and singles dating

Why do they charge in order for us to message each other on this site?  Advertisement revenue isn't enough?  Also, we aren't allowed to include other contact information without paying a fee.  It really feels like we're being held hostage here.

I was born into life as a Narwhal in the Montréal Aquarium, but when it shut down in 1991, I was sold to some cunning young med students at McGill University for their research project, where they surgically transformed me into the handsome male human you see before you today. I settled in Vancouver, grew up (kind of), did a bit of partying and experimentation/adventuring. After first studying psychology and philosophy, I finished a degree in Fine Arts, and spent a chunk of my life making work, travelling, and showing in galleries. I worked as a set designer for puppet shows in New York for a while, and recently spent some time working at an arts centre in East Africa, teaching people how to edit their own videos. But I always end up returning to Vancouver. I think it's my appetite for all the fantastic (and affordable!) restaurants we have here, especially vegetarian sushi and curry.

I'm the kind of person who is interested in everything, and as such I am constantly developing new hobbies and interests. Archery is the newest example of this, and I can feel a passion for kayaking and long distance cycling by trail may lurk somewhere on the horizon. On a more academic level, my interests in international relations and medicine have really grown over the last four years. I'm especially interested in disaster management and global health, where these two fields converge, and am currently pursuing a masters degree and medical fellowship in this area.

As far as temperament is concerned, I believe I am generally quite laid back and open minded. I definitely speak up when necessary, but I don't go around yelling all the time. That would be silly. I'm an animal lover and life long vegetarian, and love food but seldom have the time, space or excuse to cook. I love bicycling (both road, and on trails), current events, learning new languages, camping, swimming, hiking, early science fiction from the 20's-50's, and cheesy VHS horror from the 80's.

Humans are complicated creatures, and from reading the very narrow, and simplified descriptions the majority of people here post of themselves, it's hard to get a sense of what people are actually like. I really don't think you can get to know someone just by music and dietary interests, so I've tried to be a bit more introspective with my anwers. If you think I sound interesting, please don't hesitate to message me. Perhaps you could start by answering one of the following questions about yourself: Where are you from? What d you think of Vancouver? Do you like tomatoes? Would you rather live blind or deaf? Are you in school? Working? Both? Something else? Maybe riding unicorns or a professional toast-butterer?

I'm Eli....just trying this out, wanna see what's happening.
