My name is Daniel Copeland. I was born in February 1978, in Christchurch, New Zealand; I grew up, and still live, in Dunedin.

I am a nudist and Celtic enthusiast, and I have Asperger's syndrome. This profile used to be a lot longer, but if you make them too long you have to keep coming back and changing the bits that aren't true any more, and I don't visit OKCupid much these days at all.

I am intellectual, quiet, and naked

You tell me, and we'll both know. I'm on the dole (Americans: that means "on welfare"), and pursuing a vague dream of being some sort of artist. (Yeah. It's that vague.) What I'm doing with my days is mostly going on the internet; I've got my own website at http://nakedcelt.zoomshare.com/, a blog at http://www.livejournal.com/users/nakedcelt/, and, well, let's just say my hotmail address is on the same general theme.

Singing, drawing, writing, researching obscure facts, and web programming.

My bare feet, long hair and large full beard.

(a): Lord of the Rings; the Harry Potter and Discworld series; and a frightening amount of non-fiction, mostly either books to help my drawing or books that help me understand what being human means, and by that I mean biology and anthropology, not religion (except insofar as that falls under "anthropology"). Oh, and I forgot -- The Light of Other Days, by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter.

(b): Lord of the Rings. Sex and Luc�a. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Serenity.

(c): Traditional Celtic folk -- both "diddly" and deep-and-meaningful. Traditional English songs about getting pissed and/or laid (there are quite a lot). Anything that DOESN'T INVOLVE A DRUM-KIT if only for the novelty value in this noise-ridden future-obsessed modern world! And by "drum-kit" I mean anything that goes THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

ahem...

(d): Chocolate. I don't have a very sweet tooth except for chocolate. Peanut butter and hazelnut spreads. Hmmm... those are the only ones I'd be really stuck without...

Politics -- how to break the stranglehold of the corporations.

you want to talk. I'm now in a relationship and not looking for sex partners, and I very, very seldom visit OKCupid. But you can still talk to me if you like.
