I'm a geek gamer chick. I'm tall. I'm
open-minded. I have bodyart. I want more. I have intensely
blue eyes. I love karaoke. I love analog RPGs. I go to GenCon and Nuke-Con. I play Ticket to Ride,
Settlers of
Catan, Empire Builder, Apples to Apples, and
other seemingly geek-niche games. I love hackysack, but can never find enough
people with whom to kick. I'm a named hasher (look "Hash House Harriers" up on
Wikipedia for info about that). I'm in Amtgard. You bet your sweet ass I
am a turtle. I have the
coolest stuffed plush Cthulhu. I create and sell geek
bumper
stickers, primarily referencing World of Warcraft. I have a
cat named Xander. I'm intelligent. I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar. I grew up in
NYC. I'm an avid reader. I
know
where my towel is. I am wry and acerbic. I'm passionate. I'm
adventurous. I practice ethical non-monogamy (aka
polyamory). I'm
bisexual. I'm overweight, but I'm told I'm sexy as hell. I am
aggressive. I don't have time for people who aren't well suited to
my personality because I'd rather invest it in the people who
are.
I have a blog, a website, a myspace profile, a flickr account with
lots more photos, IM handles, and lots of other stuff. Get to know
me better, and I'll share them.

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
My desire is to one day be rich enough to own my own sushi chef and have a
tap that dispenses hot lobster bisque. Yes, most of my
ambitions are centered around eating.
I'm also working on being as ethical as I possibly can be in my hedonism. Being motivated almost entirely by the pursuit of enjoyment is not an inherently bad thing, so long as one is mindful of one's responsibilities.

I'm really good at
Objective analysis.
Most of my friends know that if they ask my opinion of whatever is going wrong in their lives, that I will supply a no-nonsense summary of what the problem is as I see it, what can be done to fix it, and what I believe will actually occur. For some reason, they occasionally keep asking my opinion. Either I'm doing something right, I have masochistic friends, or I'm in complete denial about the exchange rate for my two cents.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
Personality trait - my sarcasm.
Physical traits - either my Jewish hair, my Jewish nose, my icy blue eyes, or maybe my big rack (though it's not as big as it used to be, alas).

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Authors: Kurt
Vonnegut (the man for whom the term "lovable curmudgeon" was
created), Steven
Brust (the Vlad Taltos series is well worth reading), Robin Hobb (one of the
best fantasy authors out there), Augusten Burroughs (I only
recently discovered him, and he's my kind of crazy), Robert Jordan (though
I knew he was going to kick off before finishing the Wheel of Time series
- I swear that man was the written-word equivalent of George Lucas
- great ideas; but clumsy, overblown execution. Gah!), Roger Zelazny (but
stay away from the stuff other people have written based in his
world - ickypoo), Douglas Adams (42, damnit),
Dorothy
Parker (snarky!), Terry Pratchett (Read.
Discworld. Now.), Laurell K. Hamilton (and
what type of preternatural creature won't Anita screw??),
J.K.
Rowling (Best children's writer since Madeline L'Engle),
Dave Duncan
(the series The Great Game was a really enjoyable read, and
there were a bunch of other titles I read repeatedly when I was a
teenager), J.R.R. Tolkien (not for
style, but out of respect for a pioneer), Jean M. Auel (whose main
character single-handedly came up with every innovation, ever...
and had a lot of sex), Neal Stephenson (except for the
Baroque bullshit), and George R. R. Martin (if
only for his copious use of the word 'cunt', which will forever and
always be my favorite swear word. It's one of the only two that
still make people shudder, and I'd get my ass kicked for using the
other.)
Movies: Office Space, Super Troopers, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Real Genius, PCU, Idiocracy, A Hard Day's Night, 50 First Dates, Down With Love, The Guru, Boondock Saints, Run Lola Run, The Italian Job, Ocean's Eleven (both versions), Orgazmo, any Kevin Smith movie, any Coen brothers movie, assorted musicals, National Treasure (surprisingly enjoyable), Serenity, and my all-time fave - The Princess Bride. Oh yeah, and Soylent Green is people!
Television: 24; Lost; House; Bones; Battlestar Galactica (the new version); Firefly (the best of Joss Whedon's work, and one of the best shows ever on television); Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I absolutely love the style of the dialogue, and often find myself talking like that. Plus, Willow is t3h h0ttx0rz); Angel; Chuck; Extreme Makeover, Home Edition (it makes me cry like an infant); Drawn Together (I love irreverent, offensive humor); Venture Brothers; Sealab 2021; Law and Order (any incarnation, but the original is the best); No Reservations (Anthony Bourdain is strangely sexy in a goofy-snarky way); Project Runway, Top Chef, and Supernanny (I'm so ashamed. I used to dislike reality TV immensely, but it's got the hypnotic power of a bug zapper. Since the writer's strike began, it's slowly and insidiously sucked me in. If I could use a smaller font for the reality shows, I would.); and others I'll get around to adding to the list eventually.
Music: Moxy Fruvous, Great Big Sea, TMBG, Flight of the Conchords, Cake, Cowboy Mouth, Pink Floyd, Tenacious D, Flogging Molly, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Muckafurgason, BNL, The Bobs, Weird Al, Showtunes, Tom Lehrer, 80s stuff
Foods: Sushi, lobster (and lobster bisque, of course), raw oysters, Ipswitch steamer clams, salmon (I now begin to wonder if moving to a land-locked state was a smart idea), fried calamari (especially if it has the scary yummy tentacle bits), bun cha gio thit nuong, dim sum, and Godiva dark chocolate dessert cups.

The six things I could never do without
A book to read, cats to cuddle, chocolate, soap and water, a
broadband internet connection and a computer on which to use it,
and occasional privacy. Yeah, technically the pairs make it greater
than six things, but if there were a "6 items or fewer" lane in the
supermarket, I'd have the chutzpa to go through it with these
items.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Stuff... and things, too. For instance:
Do anemic people have trouble being ironic?
People talk about "cooking light." How would one prepare light? Would it be a good or bad idea to use pyrex?

On a typical Friday night I am
Unfortunately, my hours at work changed to M-F 3:30-Midnight. This
has caused my social life to change drastically. Therefore my
"Friday Nights" typically start at 12:30ish Saturday AM. Still many
of the items from my list below still apply despite the change in
hours:
Reading a book and getting so engrossed that I forget that I have had to pee for the last 6 chapters, or cuddling with my kitty and marveling over how unconditionally he loves me, or running my little workers ragged by making them collect resources for my empire in Ikariam.org, or singing karaoke and trying to find new songs to add to my repertoire, or playing a board game, or wishing that there were an Omaha chapter of Improv Everywhere so I could go on their awesome missions, or working on regaining top score in my Wii Fit games (the only way to keep me exercising regularly is to make it social and/or competitive. I have my friends use my Wii Fit and give me scores to shoot for.), or browsing the web with StumbleUpon, or hanging out with my awesome friends, or surfing through OkCupid and very occasionally collecting a new friend, or updating my auctions (when I am not too lazy to do so) and wishing I were actually making a profit instead of barely breaking even.
I was considering getting into swing dancing, but since the first time I tried (what an exercise in humility!) the gumption meter hasn't reached the correct level for me to actually go and do it again.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I drink olive juice right out of the jar and love it, and I'm the
one who stunk up the bathroom.
You should message me if
...you read my profile instead of just looking at the
pictures
...you're an intelligent, literate, funny, emotionally self-sufficient neophile
...you understand and accept that I am not, and never will be, monogamous
...you understand and accept that "non-monogamous" does not equal "easy" and you're not looking for a quick score
...you think geek chicks are hawt
...you also work mids and are looking for someone to hang out with in the wee hours when sane people are asleep
...(and only if) you're not a moron.
