Hej!

Jag vet inte mycket svenska ännu, men jag försöker lära mig så fort jag kan. Och jag skulle älska att läsa mer från dig.

[*Every* person who doesn't know my age thinks I'm older, so don't use my age as a measure of anything... except maybe how many years I have left to live.]

[Cue disclaimer about written summaries...] You can analyze words forever, but talking for 5 minutes will blow away an hour of reading. Plus it's faster; just message me.

Keating really is my first name, and I use it for everything. I have very little desire for privacy, and odds are, if you see a Keating somewhere else on the tubes, it's me.

I can find any open-minded personality cool, but if I had to choose, right now I'd be most interested in finding someone who's very action/doing oriented and can handle the fact that despite my eagerness and openness, I'm still don't have much confidence at heart.

Figuring out what I'm doing with my life. Looking for where in the world I want to live.

Talking with everyone on the street, telling beautiful (in my own definition) women at gas stations they're beautiful before driving off never to see them again (and to my own anti-sexism satisfaction! just remembered I've given a similar, albeit less extreme, compliment to a guy, too), avoiding writing, writing way too much when I do write (this is a rare exception), playing games, analyzing everything (regrettably), adding ungodly amounts of parentheses (more of this paragraph is actually inside parentheses than out).

If another person noticed something about me first, would I want to make sure everything else does the exact same thing? Nope!

Nah, not relevant enough to personalities.

Nothing spectacularly witty coming to mind...

Scratch that.

Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, photons, electrons.

[but don't worry nuclear physics majors! you can pretend I wrote in gluons and bosons, too]

Everything!
How lazy I'm feeling vs. my desire to cook something hot to eat.
Regretting that I feel uncomfortable not putting periods at the of every line, even though they're just fragments.
Spiting myself anyway
Seeing so many women posting about "don't message me if you're going to be-a-dick/ask-for-pics/send-dick-pics/troll-for-girls/comment-on-my-looks" and getting really frustrated that I need to keep fighting that sterotype.
Realizing that Pandora seems have stopped sending me ads, awesome.
Thinking about whether it's a problem that almost all the games on my computer end in "2".
Putting off putting real sheets on my bed another day.
Homemade mac&cheese or boxed?
Should I get in my car right now and start driving to where I want to be?
Did I just steal this writing style after having read Mips' profile?
Where to pee in the toilet/urinal to minimize splash-back? I mean come on, you've gotta look at angle of impact, piss velocity at impact; and if you go for a liquid-entry method, what kind of equilibrium the adjacent water-piss mix gets into, or decide if the little sponges they place are an effective shock absorber.
And if you're peeing outside, you have to figure out the best penis-angle to minimize vertical velocity, which is, interestingly enough, always perfectly horizontal, although you also get hit with the maximum horizontal velocity. Of course, if there's a statistically significant amount of wind, aiming straight down will minimize wind shear.

Admit it, you're impressed...

Hopefully anything. Want some?

I have to be completely naked to poop (oh, and I sleep naked, and never wear underwear); right now I masturbate probably a little less than once a day; the type of porn I watch is all natural, nothing staged, basically just from Beautiful Agony and I Feel Myself; I love the smell of my farts; and @ the thermonuclear question, even before Okcupid I'd had conversations about how much simpler and mentally easier my life would be if I was fighting for my survival in a post-apocalyptic world.

Fine, I guess there's a couple things (that reveal my insecurities that I want to change) I can think of that I would probably wait at least a few conversations in before chatting about.

you've gotten this far.

You know what... let's cut out all the tedious messaging, too, just give me a fucking call on Skype: first part "keati", second part "ng_a" (chopped to prevent possible evil bots!)

If you're across the world and want to complain about how you just stepped in dog shit, go for it. If you're a mile away and you want to run away to Madagascar together tonight, hit me up. [anyone get the reference? anyone?] But I would actually be up for that, seriously.
