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.
