You should check out my old profile for tests and those things. tanukitwc.

READ ME FIRST! (10/16/2012) Working as a PhD student at Colorado School of Mines. What I'm honestly looking for are a couple new friends, since I left all of mine behind in California and New Mexico. I need a tea buddy and a knitting buddy.
I have fallen deeply in love with my soul mate, SirYumYum, and we are married, so I'm only looking for female partners now. Technically, Sir and I are monogamous, but I've been given the okay to see women. It's somewhat complicated, but since I've had a polyamorous past, I would like to find that special ladyfriend out there for me.

Every time I sit down to work on this profile, I always feel inadequate. I wonder if I should answer the questions as they are posed, or try to work in some silly, witty banter with a non-existent audience. I tend to write whatever spontaneously comes to mind and the mood is obviously reflected in the narrative.

Let us go with this:
I am a college student. I try not to let college rule my life and define who I am, but when you are surrounded by perpetually stressed students, equally stressful classroom settings, homework, and exams it is a little bit hard to not be affected by it.

Outside of college, I can be somewhat adventurous (I love spontaneous decisions when asked "What do you want to do?"), though I'm the kind that would prefer to curl up with a hot mug of tea or cocoa, a blanket and a good book or game.

Not to say I am a complete shut in. I do engage in recreation. My main focus right now is billiards, 8 and 9 ball. Lately, I've been picking up swing and blues dancing, but I'm pretty crap at it.

Please do feel free to ask about the number of other activities I enjoy, but rarely find time to do.

I am squishy, protean, and alive

I have currently committed myself to a life of academia. I am a student at Colorado School.of Mines. I have a Materials Engineering degree from New Mexico Tech. I'm working on a PhD in Nuclear Engineering. Feel free to ask me about my research. I'm sure I'll bore you.

I used to want to be a filmmaker. Or rather, I should say, I used to think I could be a filmmaker. I still want to be.

I know a little, (the range being from trivial information to a somewhat in depth working knowledge), about a lot of things. My plan is to be one of those interesting people who know a lot about a few things.

I am good at listening. I always have been. I was the one people went to for advice. It can be frustrating if I want someone to listen to me.

I am good with my hands. I knit, I play video games, I solder, I cook. I play billiards, though it's questionable how good I am at that.
Edit (30/04/2011): I will be heading to the ACUI 9-ball nationals tournament come July...so...yeah, I'm decent at pool!

Probably that I am (choose your favorite): husky, chubby, fat,
curvy, heavy, BBW, plump, Rubenesque, full-figured, plus-sized,
voluptuous, buxom, or my personal favorite, zaftig.

I really do not know how much the above affects other's opinion of
me. I like to think that there is more to me than just my body. I
am working on accepting who I am and how I look.

Perhaps another feature that stands out is my laughter. Or my large
eyes. I can only hazard guesses, but these are probably fairly
accurate.

I wholeheartedly do not like making lists like this, but I feel that this section needs a few key names:

Pratchett, Gaiman, Sedaris, Lovecraft
Kubrick, Coens, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Nolan
Belle & Sebastian, The Shins, Modest Mouse, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Oingo Boingo, Imogen Heap, Talking Heads

Again, this is just a sampling. I am obviously a complex person and I find it hard to express all my tastes here.

The broad list:
1) Music, in all manner of the word
2) Contact with other people, friends or complete strangers
3) Comfort, in any form
4) Learning
5) Love
6) Playing, games or otherwise

The daily routine:
1) Tea
2) Stuffed animals, cthulhu and an octopus named Mephisto from squishable
3) Medicine, headaches are a constant problem
4) Lolcats, what can I say, I am addicted
5) Final Fantasy, I was raised on good video games
6) Cuddles, I love to be hugged or touched. Again, addicted.

I am a worrier, so too much would be the answer to this one.

Often movies with friends, or billiards. Maybe playing a video game, but that has been rare as of late. Definitely not homework, though. (Lately it HAS been homework. Do not go into engineering if you want weekends...)

As much as I love outer space and astronomy, I have a pretty severe phobia of the planet Jupiter.

I really want to learn to play the accordion.

You are in or around Golden or Lafayette and you wanna get a cup of coffee, go fishing, play D&D, something to that effect!

If you are a bisexual or lesbian lady and you would be interested in a date.

If you would like to join my husband and myself for some board/card games (Dominion, Catan, Agricola, Arkham Horror, Cards Against Humanity, etc)
