I'm a dreamer with a short attention span. I like music, contemporary art, nerdy boys and new friends. Let's go have an adventure.

I live on Capitol Hill. If you do, too, you get 3.5 bonus points. If you live in Renton, you get 8.7 demerits. It's not a judgement of your character. I would just rather not ride a bus for two hours to hang out. You understand.

I'm currently in an awesome open relationship. What that means to you, oh profile reader, is that I'm not looking for a happily ever after or any other kind of boring monogamous action. However, I'd love to make a new friend with benefits who understands that the best FWBs put equal emphasis on both the F and B parts of the relationship.

I'm an artist. Photography is my first love, though my degree is in sculpture and I really enjoy assemblages and collages as well. Something about creating beauty (or at least interest) from discarded items really appeals to me. I also curate and organize art events, which is SO MUCH FUN.

My nine to five is working in a porn shop. I love it. I'm now on my third store in three years and probably some day I'll own my own little shop. I'm very much into sex education, and helping people to embrace their sexuality. When I get drunk, I usually end up telling off-color stories about hilarious porn store hijinks. So, you know, don't get me drunk around your grandma.

Answering sex-related questions, road trips, having great ideas (but not following through on them), kicking ass and taking names in Katamari and Scrabble, and photographing pretty girls.

I think the most noticeable thing about me is that my hair is always a bright, silly color. It's usually hot pink, but sometimes I mix it up a little.

Instead of overwhelming you with lists, I'm just going to put the last five of each category that I've eaten/read/seen/listened to. No, wait. After careful consideration, I think that's only going to work for the books and movies sections.

BOOKS:
Love 'em. Have hundreds. Last 5: "Interface" Neal Stephenson + J. Frederick George; "The Difference Engine" William Gibson + Bruce Sterling; "Rum Punch" Elmore Leonard; "Resistance" Anita Shreve; "Neverwhere" Neil Gaiman

MOVIES:
Grandma's Boy (cracks me UP! nerdy boys + pot humor = win), The Chances of the World Changing, Superfly, Black Snake Moan, Disney Earth (like Planet Earth, but sappier)

MUSIC:
I'm always up to learn about new bands!! I like almost all genres of popular music, but have never been able to appreciate classical, which makes me feel dumb. All time faves: Bauhaus, Skinny Puppy, The Toadies, The Cure, Bow Wow Wow, The Pixies, Leadbelly, Jesus and Mary Chain, Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Black Keys, Blondie. I know I'm stuck in the 80's, feel free to mock me for it. My overly wrought Robert Smith-esque black eyeliner provides an anti-mock force field so it just bounces back off. Just kidding. I can love the Cure without wearing that much eyeliner.

FOOD:
Food is great! I love veggie sushi (fish is kind of gross), Indian and Thai cuisine, and big, crazy salads. I'm not a vegetarian, but could be mistaken for one. I will almost always choose tofu over red meat and my all time favorite restaurant (In the Bowl!) is totally vegan.

down blankets (sooooo soft...)
good music and the dancing that comes with it
ridiculously large quantities of iced tea
super geeks that are enthusiastic about learning
the internets!
my fabulous furry feisty pet gerbil

You know why I'm really an active OKC user? Because there's a marked absence of magic in my life lately. What I really want is long walks through dark woods, strange sex in candle-lit rooms, road trips with no destination, intense conversations balanced by time spent enjoying the silence...

I do appreciate ambitious, smart people with their heads on straight who have a great sense of humor and mad make-out skills. That's just not who I'm pining for right now.

Every Friday is a new opportunity for fun, so they're rarely typical. Popular options include: Drinking and people watching at the Mercury or the Crescent, going for aimless meanders through the city, seeing a good show (art, burlesque, or music), or curling up on the couch and watching a movie.

It seems like the people I'm highly matched with on here are also members of Fetlife. Small world, huh?

... you are a player short for your next Scrabble night.

... you think I'm cute. Really, you should let me know because that just never gets old.

... you're in the market for a new friend who's interesting, interested, and won't embarrass you in public too often.

NOTE: I don't do the whole "someone gave you five stars!" thing on here. It never works right. If you think I'm rad, wink at or message me. If I think you're rad, I'll write back. Isn't that so much easier?
