"

What I'm Looking For"

by Isa Nutria 

I'm looking for some puppy love.

Some kitten, gerbil, guinea pig

love. Any kind of 

unconditional love, really.

I'm looking for a place to rest.

Or to recharge, reboot, recoup

myself. A place to

regenerate my heart, really.

I'm looking for propinquity,

Or amity, ardency, affinity

for another. A form of

uncomplicated connection, really.

I'm looking for something else.

Something different, unusual, 

extraordinary. Anything,

anyone but you, really.

Thanks for entering my world, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
