I am Artistic, open-minded, and easy-going.
My Self-Summary
I'm 28, completed your standard liberal arts education with a major
in English and a minor in studio art. I enjoy a lot of things, but
am not "Passionate" about anything. Easy-going, I'm generally up
for anything -- but I prefer to follow rather than lead. Both
out-going and shy, depending on my mood. I love laughing and making
others laugh, and learning new, random things. I'm addicted to
horror movies even though they can scare me for days. I love
learning new things, and have been a custom framer, a bookseller, a
barista, worked for a website design company, and a construction
equipment company. I believe firmly that it's not what you're
doing, it's the people you're with and your attitude that makes an
experience good or bad.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm relatively new to the Asheville area, currently living a rather
isolated lifestyle as my friends are scattered in different states,
or countries. Looking to meet new people, as friends or potential
lovers. Currently, I'm trying to stay afloat at work where we're
understaffed, and spending a lot of time reading and writing. I
read and write homoerotic stories, currently not-for-profit, but
hope to begin submitting stories for publication in the near
future.
I’m really good at
I'm really good at writing, or so people tell me. I'm good at
synthesizing -- information or materials -- which is to say I can
combine materials and ideas to create new ones. My best art is
multi-media, my best ideas combine information from various
academic fields.
I'm good at making people laugh, though I generally like to feel I
know someone a little first before I start joking around.
The first things people usually notice about me
I get a lot of comments on my firm handshake.
In all seriousness, I believe people notice one of two things,
depending on my mood. On a good day, they notice I'm outgoing and
self-assured, on a mediocre day they notice I'm reserved and
thoughtful.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books -- There are way too many to name here. An Arrow's flight.
Jane Eyre. American Gods. Cat's Cradle. Survivor. Written on the
body. Herzog. Exquisite corpse. Of Human Bondage. to name a
few..
Movies -- Secretary, labyrinth, catch me if you can, quills, 28
days later, grave of the fireflies, I'm sure I'm forgetting some...
I like horror flicks, as mentioned. I enjoy keeping those awful
sci-fi channel flicks on in the background while reading. Beyond
that, I have very eclectic taste in films.
Music -- entirely too eclectic. I am not someone who listens to
music often -- I don't even keep the radio on in my car. There's a
lot I like, spanning just about every genre, so it's easier to say
I *don't* like most country and most metal. If I can't make out the
lyrics, I'm unlikely to enjoy it.
Food -- asian. Chinese, Japanese, Thai. And Indian. Hands down.
The six things I could never do without
1. literature
2. movies
3. a creative outlet
4. my friends
5. Juice - real, 100% fruit juice.
6. A warm blanket.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Writing. What I want to do with my future, what I need to do to
improve myself personally and professionally.
On a typical Friday night I am
Currently? At home, reading and watching movies. Preferably? Out
with friends/a date at a movie or anything else.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
That I write and read erotica.
You should message me if
If you think I sound interesting. If you're open-minded, like a
variety of activities and have the interest/willingness to teach
them to someone if necessary. If you're funny, and kind but
to-the-point/firm. If you're interested in a friend or real dating,
not just a hook-up.
