I prefer the kind of dancing that is more laughing than dancing. I eat almond butter out of the jar with a knife. I sometimes forget that I am tall. Having grown up with an outdoors-man in my family, my teen rebellion took the form of lazing on the couch. I have since learned to love hiking and biking. I am a practiced writer and critical thinker. I am an avoidant anvil. I have a complex, active imagination and lead a rich inner life.

Still in the process of getting settled into East Bay life, I'm mostly interested in finding friends, co-adventurers, and casual sex partners. I look for accountability and communication in all my relationships regardless.

I am queer, sex positive, trans ally.

I moved to Berkeley in the fall. I'm back in school after two years of working full-time for a national project that supports community-based media and technology organizations.

Using gerunds, commas, and conjunctions.

Self reflection and building an instinct for compassion.

Making my own fun and making fun of myself.

On Halloween I won a costume dance competition. (Yesssss.) My prize was a bottle of Stoli Wild Cherry. (Noooo.)

"Nice beard. How's the weather up there?"

I fill my head with culture, I give myself an ulcer.

Let's approach this from the opposite end. If I were to start eliminating things from my life one at a time to arrive at the six most important, where would I begin? The benefits of silverware are negligible. They would be the first to go.

How can I educate myself and motivate other white folks to be better allies to people of color?

How does the internet know?

Can literature help us to be happier humans while living in an environment that is inherently unhappy-making and dehumanizing?

Can the subaltern speak?

When is Aaliyah releasing her posthumous album already?

Hanging with my friends, pumping ourselves up to go out (or not) by listening to Janet Jackson's entire oeuvre.

I make myself laugh. All the time.

You want to go to gay boy parties with me and be partners in dance crime. You want to build community and need help makin' it happen. You hold your friends accountable for their words and actions; you are kind and patient but also demanding. You are a master communicator. You are male-identified, confidant, handsome, and want to have steamy hot tub sex. You want to challenge me at Street Fighter. You own a monofin.
