I am eccentric, made of jam, and surreal (today).
My Self-Summary
Profile(Me) V 2.0
(revised for brevity and reduced babblement)
Hello and welcome to my profile!
Secondly, and out of order, I went and asked a few friends for good
single words to describe me. They came up with things like
'excessively low drama', 'something between Invader Zim and The
Tick', 'kind of like Eddie Izzard without the great accent and
thing for high heels', 'far more responsible than you'd think, and
'grand-high-poobah-geek-with-social skills'
Note each was several words. My friends follow instructions about
as well as me.
First, and equally out of order, I'm gleefully and eccentrically
attached to
rjoy.
As what I've become aware is a needed clarification, there is
indeed an opening for someone similarly quirky and compatibly
crazy, our dynamic bears little resemblance to an open relationship
or even the more typical variants of polyamory. We're serious and
passionate people and not at all interested romantically in anyone
who doesn't find the other similarly awesome.
Not that we're some bored couple looking to spice things up. We've
both lived in long-term triples (I love that term) and it fits us
The only opening involves someone else being just as happy and
spoiled as we are and a full fledged equal in all respects. We got
together with that intent and we don't do things halfway.
So, if there's any seeking of various smooch-like-activities, it'd
also have to involve
low drama,
bad dancing and singing,
general
dorkiness, and general adoration of the twixt of us, as well as
capacity to be mutually adored and generally loved a lot.
It's weird, but it works if you're similarly quirky :) (and
slightly insane)
On the non-smoochy side, some of the requirements are similar
(mellow and groovy, silly, not prone to taking yourself overly
seriously, never been convicted of a felony, has elbows). I've let
the currently-blissful-like make me lazy about actually going out
and meeting new people, so feel free to wave! But admittedly, the
current life and frequent dialogue is surprisingly fulfilling, so I
don't get out so much anymore.
(yes, this version is shorter)
What I’m doing with my life
Enjoying the heck out of it. Things are generally fantastic and the
days are generally filled with variants of 'happy' punctuated
occasionally with 'work' and 'sleep'
So, I've let my plans to form a cult and take over the world
stagnate for far too long and I'm again looking to put that
together. I'm not looking for a figurehead position though, I'm
more the power-behind-the-throne-who-reaps-all-the-benefits
sort.
Other than that, very little. Enjoying the career (working for
DHFS, feels nice to part of something vaguely noble) Life's at a
great state where nothing's needed but there's plenty of time to
play with
I’m really good at
Using parenthesis (really, haven't I used a lot already?)
Making people laugh, or at least being a catalyst of the same.
Sadly it is frequently at my expense.
Not creating drama. I tend to bull through your typical politics
because it's all horribly complicated, the end result is generally
pretty mellow and stable. . . if kind of atypical.
Creating new words. I have my own dictionary in my head, it works.
If you have any good additions, let me know!
The first things people usually notice about me
Hmm. I'm not sure.
I suppose I could ask people 'what did you notice about me first',
but that kind of comes across as egocentric.
And I suspect the honest responses would be 'You looked like you
were up to no good', 'It was hard to miss, you walked into a wall',
'It's not often somebody walks around the office singing [the
A-team theme], [Springtime for Hitler], [Staying Alive],
[Sha-na-na] quite that badly' or something like that.
This is why I don't ask.
Oh yeah, and some new
tattoo /
scarification work I've been
getting done has been getting poked at a lot. I really need a new
pic!
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Wow, this is going to be a big big list. I'm going to have to go
with snippets.
Books: I seem to lean towards a bit of fantasy (often dark) in my
reading. Not that I mind the occasional contemporary book (my first
copy of 'Fight Club' practically ended up falling apart) but I seem
to devour things like Feist, Gaiman, Lumley, Danielewski, Martin,
Barker, and the like.
Movies: We've got an absurd amount of DVDs here, we love our bad
movie nights. I've ended up loving Shaolin Soccer, the first
Pirates movie, Hero, Infernal Affairs, Kung Fu Hustle, Usual
Suspects, Fight Club, Shaun of the Dead, Princess Bride, Army of
Darkness, The Hunger, and many more. Sometimes it's fun to watch
something genuinely brilliant like Memento. .and sometimes it's
just as fun to catch something enthusiastically bad like Black
Sheep (just saw it. . the one where the sheep get mutated by mad
scientists and go baaaaaad)
Music: A little of everything, with a recent leaning towards 80s
stuff, nerdcore, and other sorts of music that amuse and entertain.
But who knows, in a few weeks I may go through a punkish phase or
one where I listen exclusively to gothy angsty music about how hard
life is and how nobody understands. I'm odd that way.
Food. . Pepperoni Pizza is the food of the gods. I truly believe
that. I also like Chicken. Not just because I find it tasty, but
because I really really hate chickens and enjoy being part of their
demise. I specifically request chicken that suffered horribly
before being prepared for eating, I think that makes them tastier.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How it'd be great to have someone call me 'Sir' without immediately
following with 'you're creating a scene'
You should message me if
(recently added) Since we're happy, lazy bums. . if you're the
hippie equivalent of a pushy Italian mother and know someone beyond
perfect for us.
If you're looking for a good (if strange at times) friend.
If you're terribly funny and want someone to appreciate your
brilliant wittiness.
If me-and-the-wifely-sort are precisely what you're looking for (or
even largely intriguing) from a romantic standpoint.
If you enjoy bad movies and have some particularly delightfully bad
ones to recommend.
And, lastly, if you just enjoy light hearted and witty banter and
fun.
I mean, really, if you're curious say 'hi', I'm about the least
scary person out there (odd, but non-scary) (unless you're one of
those fundamentalist nutjobs in which case perhaps we'd probably
get along terribly. . . unless you're looking for an arch nemesis
or something I suppose)
And on that last point, I've found finding a good Arch Nemesis is a
very difficult thing. I figured I'd try here searching for highest
'enemy' percentages and I ended up horribly disappointed, as I
didn't find anyone I wouldn't be embarrassed to admit was my
Nemesis.
