Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

**This profile is old and I have to be clear and say I am not currently looking for any dates, relationships, or random sex. It largely still exists so I can keep in contact with friends and take random quizzes to stave off the looming boredom. Sorry! If you just want to chat a bit or tell stories or try to draw an ASCII giraffe, please feel free to message me!**

What? I'm the post-college, pre-career, socially backward, black-wearing, great night auditor of the plains. I don't know why I left my hills and rivers for the vast barren desert they call Kansas, call it reckless impulse. I read a lot, drink a lot of coffee, work third shift, double majored in English and Gender Studies. I have cats. I live in a crummy apartment. When things scare me (like giant moose heads or lobsters) I sing little songs about them. When most people talk to me I have a constant running chorus of shutupshutupshutup in my head. I'm an aspiring folk violist. I have more musical instruments in this house than can account for number of people. I'm not talented with any of them, but music makes me excited. People worry about my taste in music. It's early in the morning and past my bedtime. This whole thing is sounding suspiciously chipper.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Trying to live, trying to make enough money to live, trying to find a real job working with words, playing music with friends, building a network of people I love, searching out a path, remembering what's important to me, finding a soul, looking at the sky, playing in the woods (what woods there are here), going to small, dirty diners, making things matter, singing songs, growing a heart, learning everything I can

I'm really good at Propose an edit

beginnings, being mellow, making people make confused faces, being generally resourceful, cooking, sociological experimentation, looking like a suprised bunny, standing on one foot

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

how long my hair is, that I'm not wearing pants, that I'm halfway through a pounce with hair flying and an unwholesome grin, oh, and that I'm really really really quiet around people I don't know very well. Yeah, mostly the quiet.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

mmmm, Kill Bill or 28 Days Later probably. I haven't seen a lot of movies this year. Who wants to take me to see the new Dawn of the Dead?

Except they changed the question on me. I like Chuck Palaniuk, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Sherman Alexie, Katherine Dunn, Charles Simic, etc. I like movies. I like bloody horror films and tangled existential films. Think Dead Alive through Wings of Desire. Erm, music. I have a lot of that. Nick Cave, Einsturzende Neubauten, Shudder to Think, european folk music, fiddle tunes, smoky gospel, Finntroll, beepy thumpy stuff, ummm... ok, I like too much to list. I hate this list already and I'm not even to food yet. Um. I like Indian food, especially if it has paneer, and I like horchata and papas rellenas, and casserole, and yogurt, and tapioca pudding. Is that enough for you people?

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

adventures, wonder, outside, space, coffee, laughter

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Prague, taming dinosaurs, helmets, clouds, riding giant shopping carts over the plains, the first snow of the year, thunderstorms, fireplaces, good bookshelves, holy oil, disturbing juxtapositions, whatever.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

At the coffeehouse, slamming house brews and doing smart people things. Then I go to work, I almost always work on fridays. Except for now. Now I don't work on Friday nights.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I just washed my face. Ok, ok, I'm also less emotionally giving than most people would imagine. It's hard to crack me open. I'm also a fairly private person. That's all you get.

You should message me if Propose an edit

you feel like it, especially if you've never shouted "wooo" in public or said "wassuuuup?"
