I am outgoing, fearless, and geeky.

My Self-Summary

I keep a backup auxiliary brain in a jar. I have nine covers of Video Killed The Radio Star. I own a feral pet rock. My other car is made of meat. Some of my external hard drives don't contain porn.

I'm an outgoing, self-confidant entrepreneur who enjoys the heck out of being around people. I love elbowing my way to the very front of the crowd during fireworks so I'm close enough to feel shrapnel on my face, but I also enjoy the heck out of a quiet night at home playing boardgames with a couple of friends. Basically, I'm the kind of extrovert who can also enjoy quiet time with great people.

There are a ton of neat things to do here in Louisville. I'm looking for someone to explore the city with me. Failing that, I'm content to explore someone else's city for awhile. After all, I've lived in over a dozen of the darn things.

What I’m doing with my life

I've reached that very special point in every girl's life where she has to ask used car dealers if she can fit a portable jail cell in the back seat.

This is because I own a small event planning business that brings random coolness into my life on a weekly basis. There's nothing like coming home to find a ginormous box of 100 three-foot long foam Wolverine Claws waiting on your front porch.

I tend to gush about my events because I really, genuinely love what I do. It's awesome. My business is also the reason my most recent photos are costume-o-riffic.

I know it makes me sound like a pimp, but go on baby, ask me about the Talk Like A Pirate Day Party, the Victorian Spiked Leather Tea Party or It's A Wonderful Drinking Party.

I’m really good at

I have a talent for bringing groups of people together. I didn't know a soul when I moved to Louisville, so I started 3 clubs. Five years later, the largest has over 200 members and a monthly attendance of 40+.

I've also been accused of starting a cult.

Despite being a pretty social, outgoing person, I also have a real talent for translating geekspeak into English thanks to some wonderful uncles who built my 1st computer from spare parts left over from their own upgrades. Folks were genuinely shocked I didn't end up a coder...though I will grudgingly admit I've done a little time in the pink collar HTML mines. I was young. I needed the money. We all do thinks we're ashamed of!

The first things people usually notice about me

My laugh carries across a room.

Up close, people also notice the subtle streaks of green highlighting my otherwise brunette locks.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I love ethnic food. Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, Indian, Cuban, Persian, and Thai are among my favorites.

Hey, you don't get out of grad school without a love of reading. My personal favorite nonfiction authors include Bill Bryson and Dan Savage, for entirely different reasons.

In Fiction, I enjoy C.J. Cherryh, Christopher Moore, Terry Pratchett, Charles Stross, Robert Sawyer, older John Varley, Robert Charles Wilson and a couple guilty pleasures in the form of Janet Evanovich and Charlaine Harris.

My webcomics of choice are Girl Genius, Least I Could Do and XKCD. I'm always open to new recommendations!

My TV tastes lean heavily towards the geeky. Eureka, Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse, Chuck and Mythbusters as well as the Showtime-O-Rama of Dexter, Weeds & Penn and Teller's Bullshit.

I've seen They Might Be Giants live 5 times. Lately, I've discovered a lot of music through Pandora. My tastes gravitate heavily towards Cake, Duran Duran, Jonathan Coulton, Great Big Sea and Reel Big Fish.

As for my favorite movie, tragically, I have to confess an inexplicable love for David Lynch's "Dune."

The six things I could never do without

World conquest, loyal minions, narrow air ducts, genetically engineered Army Ants, heroes who pontificate when they should shoot, Amazon.com deliveries to my lair. After all, it's hard to find Celestial Seasoning's Cold Brew Peach Tea at the base of a nearly extinct volcano.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Are brass goggles are a hat or a necklace? I've never seen anyone wear them for eye protection.

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with friends.

I enjoy the heck out of cooking. Friday nights are a great excuse to get friends together for a big meal then spend the rest of the night enjoying a couple bottles of wine and some boardgames.

I'm also unduly fond of excessively cheezy karaoke.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Gentlemen, nothing is sexier than good grammar.

Yes, I will judge you based on punctuation and spelling. Luckily, this means you have the world's cheapest and easiest opportunity to impress a woman. To heck with flowers or chocolates! Impress me with a well written paragraph online and I'll cheerfully join you for drinks offline.

You should message me if

You are a criminal mastermind seeking a partner in crime.

Tonight, while I sip wine from a teacup in my lair and manouver my Roomba through a knife fight with the neighbor's cat, a plan is quietly hatching. Louisville will wake up tomorrow completely unsuspecting.

But you, sir, have a unique opportunity to learn why I need to freeze 80 gallons of jello, inflate a bouncy castle, and acquire seven pounds of assorted sized gears.

Reply to this ad with your plans for world domination, your ideal lair, or what you're looking for in a partner in crime.

If I like what I see, we can meet incognito to discuss future plans and work on our maniacal laughs.
