If I was a girl, people might say I'm sassy. As a guy, I'm usually called a smart-ass instead. As a feminist, that doesn't seem all that fair to me. I also suspect writing this might be significantly easier if I were drunk, so you should check back, maybe on one of those 'typical Friday nights' you'll read about later in my profile.

I'm currently in a great polyamorous (open, but not swingers) relationship with SuperDainty and am very happy. While we date others, even casually, we do not do 1-time one night stand-style sex.

Masochism. I work for a video game company on some pretty crazy shifts. To add to it, I am trying to go to graduate school at the same time. I also enjoy practicing jiu-jitsu, which usually ends up with me being beaten up by a myriad of sweaty guys.

Navigating the Tokyo subway system.

How relieved I am that no one remembers the movie "Powder." Oh, shit...

The story I'm currently working on, the technique I want to work on in jiu-jtsu that night, which book to read next, or something random that I'll feel the need to search on Wikipedia.

After training with the sweaty men mentioned above, I grab a shower and either stay in and relax, or maybe go out with friends. Either way, I generally keep it fairly mellow.

I'm not just willing to go to karaoke, I'm great at it. Crap, that was probably supposed to go somewhere else...

Also, I'm an INTJ, which isn't really private, but I'm willing to admit it. So maybe that counts?

You are comfortable with the fact that I am in a polyamorous relationship.
You think you'd get along with my girlfriend SuperDainty. We are also open to playing with/seeing someone together. If you happen to be into it, she and I wear our handkerchiefs in our right and left pockets, respectively.
You like beards.
You don't judge others on their color, creed, sexual orientation, or the way they express their sexuality (as long as it's consensual).
