Oh man, well I'm probably not the worst person you've encountered today. Or at least this week.

I try to be kind. I'm an extremely - albeit self-consciously - liberal person. I work a neat, presently demanding, job and try to work in fun things to do when I can.

There, that's probably enough.

I teach at a high school and when it's not stressing the bejesus out of me, I really enjoy it, but also really enjoy drinking coffee and sometimes beer or whiskey lately while discussing things or bobbing my head to some band.

Also, non-monogamy with the lovely and talented LittleLaika.

Coming up with excuses to play episodes of the Simpsons during class.

Beard (needs patching), glasses (need cleaning), hair (needs cutting).

Books on history and science. Fiction sure, but not as much and I wish I read more. A bit of SF, a smattering of comic books. I'm reading a book my friend self-published about mountain climbing.

Coen Brothers, Jarmusch, whatever's good, docs, trashy genre films, Brit Marling.

Some television but it's not a big thing for me right now.

Tom Waits, Silver Jews, Townes Van Zandt, You've Changed Records. I just found out about Howe Gelb and Giant Sand, and I'm really digging that right now.

Most foods. Seeing veggie people motivates me to eat more veggie meals.

You can do without a lot of things.

You know how breathing is a function of the autonomic nervous system and it does it on it's own until you're thinking about it and then you realize you've been holding your breath for the last couple minutes? I mostly think about cool band names.

Surviving a Long Winter.

Due to a childhood obsession, I'm more familiar with many of Weird Al's parodies than the originals.

Exclusivity isn't mandatory in your relationships.

Il serait superbe d'avoir une personne francophone ou quelqu'un(e) qui parle le français assez courrament comme un(e) ami(e). J'ai seulement mes élèves et mes collègues pour converser en français.

Also, my dancecard is getting kinda full. However, I'm definitely open to the odd date if we seemed mutually amazing to one another, and always for new friends.
