I am passionate, insightful, and deliciously fun.

My Self-Summary

Debauchery. Wit. Charm. Coffee. If these words interest you, read on...

I was a student, a drop-out, a drop-in, and am now excited to be beginning a new journey into academia... I am a poet who has stopped writing poetry, an embracer of revelry, and someone smart enough to know how stupid I can be... Right now I write for money when I'm lucky, and read obnoxiously intellectual writing about enjoying low brow pleasures. When I'm not writing, I engage in such diversions as flirtation, caffeine, and stronger drink besides. I love indulging in passion, intimacy, and the company of good friends...

Be bold and write me.

Also, I realize this area is supposed to be a SELF-summary, but my dear friend grace_too would like to jump in for just a moment to inform you that I'm big in Japan. It's true. ;)

What I’m doing with my life

I'm hunting down the American Dream with my lawyer friend. Oh, wait. That was a movie I saw. I'm excited about the possibilities of academia and a life of the mind instead of grinding it out at a shitty day job. I get to have fun with some wonderful friends between trying to hit my deadlines for writing geeky articles and the like.

I’m really good at

Coming up with a great idea; talking about nearly anything; having fun; giving people insights about the people in their life; putting words together nice; and speaking of nice, nice shoes...

The first things people usually notice about me

I would imagine this would completely depend on what people tend to perceive. I, for example, notice hair, walk, and talk. Maybe they'll notice my personable attitude or my sarcasm. Maybe my bold glasses or my ass. Who knows?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Favorite books? How about authors? Milan Kundera, Andrew Vachss, Orson Scott Card, and Carol Queen come to mind.

Movies? Good lord. Why not just ask me about which organs are my favorites? (Though, to be fair, Shortbus manages to embody parts of my version of utopia...)

Music? Well, last.fm tells me that my most listened to music of this year is, in order: Bishop Allen, PJ Harvey, Nine Inch Nails, Tom Waits, Ani DiFranco, Heavy Vegetable, Pinback, Faith No More, Liz Phair, Pixies, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, RJD2, Screamin' Cyn Cyn and the Pons, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, mc chris, UGK, King Missle, Sage Francis, Self.

Food? See movies. I do enjoy me a nice Pad Thai, though...

The six things I could never do without

Having a home (in the sense of 'where the heart is'), the company I keep, my computer, cards, pen, paper, and my wits...

I spend a lot of time thinking about

What I would be able to accomplish if procrastination wasn't so hard-wired into me. And lately, hoping to excel in grad school. Ah, stupid thinking... why must I always be thinking?

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with friends playing cards, out in a bar, lazing in bed with good food and a movie... basically anywhere where one might find good company...

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

My AIM nick is HedonistPoet as well.

Also, I once was mistakenly believed to be a secret agent, and had adventures that ranged from the UN Building in NYC to Mount Rushmore. Oh, wait... That was a movie I saw, nevermind.

You should message me if

Your excellent knowledge of social rules let's you know just how to break them. You are the kind of person that views yourself as a stand-out. You are smart and can be challenging without being obstinate. You like to spend time pleasing yourself in any number of ways. You don't expect getting involved with someone means that planning a marriage is in the cards. You don't assume that something fun and casual can't also be rich and deep. Queer-identified is a huge plus. And if you rock, that is a good reason as well...

Special Bonus insight into Me section!

Looking for:

- strong guts (that act) - warm heart (that feels) - bright eyes (that see) - sharp mind (that whirrs) - hot loins (that need)

Hopefully, all in the same package. (others may apply...)
