I love lists and come up with many a reason to make them. With that:
1. Film. Film. Film.
2. Politics, politics, politics. Study it, did the campaign bit, and will be starting a new job to put Texas in play for democrats.
3. My sense of humor is equal parts self-deprecating, deadpan, and inappropriate. There's a dash of whimsy in there too.
4. I feel compelled to constantly move and learn and create and write.
5. I ardently love to read.
6. I'll take scotch please, and keep it neat.

There's more to me, I'm sure. Probably. Questions are welcome. I'll reciprocate.

Satisfying my urges. Feel free to inquire as to what these are.

(Note: Creeps need not apply.)

I'm back in Austin and very glad about it. If you're proficient in local coffee, independent film, farmers' markets, dive bars, or anything else s'wonderful in the Austin area, let's talk.

Making quiche without a recipe! Also, scones.

Archery. Apparently.

Annotating. I know. It's shocking that I'm single.

I have no idea, though they can probably hear me laughing.

As far as food goes, I'm un-picky and love to try new, foreign things. Also, cheap tacos. Get on my level.

1. Books, books, books.
2. Uni-Ball Vision Elite (Noir). It's a pen. If you have a favorite pen, we'll get along swimmingly.
3. My grandmother's ring.
4. Newspapers.
5. Matches.
6. A good cardigan, maybe with a pocket or two.

Strangers and words; and this and that, really.

It really varies. Last Friday, it was work in the office and then a costume party. Several weeks ago, it was rooftop-hopping and cigars. I'm happy doing just about anything, even if it means just reading.

You mean other than the fact that I have an OKCupid profile?

You're a storyteller, or you've got jokes; if you're passionate about something and love to talk about it to no end; if you're inquisitive and love to learn; if you build things; if you love coffee and the Drafthouse at all hours of the day; if you're an explorer; or if you just want to.

Also, if you're into semicolons. And do please note: Knowledge is hot.

Oh, or if you signed the White House petition to have the national anthem legally changed to R. Kelly's 'Ignition.'
