People would describe me as extremely patient (to a fault), mechanically-inclined, and willing to drop whatever I'm doing to help out virtually anyone. I have seriously helped people move within 48 hours of meeting them. That's what I get for not driving a car.

I value honesty, craftsmanship, patience, and enthusiasm. I really appreciate it when someone is very into something. This can be practically anything, even if it wouldn't normally interest me. Someone could be really into model trains, or possess an encyclopedic knowledge of textiles, and I would appreciate their dedication to something, no matter how mundane.

I don't want to come off as overly confrontational, but if you are only interested in someone who's in college, then that's definitely not me. I have been perfectly capable of educating myself.

fixing things. Fabricating, welding, soldering, brazing, drilling, tapping, threading, milling, shearing, broaching, reaming, polishing, boring, turning, spinning, punching, honing, wiring, sealing, etc. Singing folk ballads (really!) Being patient. Listening. Waiting.

Shyness combined with blunt honesty.

How to change the world. How to prevent the world from changing.

At home.

you are interested in getting to know me. I'm really easy to get along with. I have some extreme views, but I am certainly not pushy or forthright with them.

I have no interest in messages from racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, nationalist, etc. people. I'd like to hope that goes without saying, but you never know...
