People tend to describe me with words like "eccentric" and "eclectic" and "bohemian". I think that means they have no idea what I'm talking about.

All things considered, I'm decidedly unambitious. Mostly I just like enjoying myself. I think people waste a lot of time trying to achieve questionable goals.

I'm passably good at a lot of things, but I'm not an expert at anything. My strongest suit is creativity, but my attention is torn between various media. Music, writing, design, photography, knitting, style--there's too much exciting stuff out there to focus on any one thing.

Unknown. People are shallow, so they probably notice me physically first. I'm fat and I dress well.

After that, they likely notice my sense of humor, which alternates between very dry and very silly.

Before long, they start asking me how to spell things.

Oh jeez, OKCupid. Asking the tough questions.

My favorite book is a pretty easy one, actually. The Dogs of Babel, by Carolyn Parkhurst, is the best work of fiction I've ever read. I adore it. My favorite book of poetry is Delights and Shadows, by Ted Kooser, who does things in poetry that most poets can only dream about.

Favorite movie: Definitely impossible. This varies widely depending on my mood. My taste in film is extremely broad. Lately I've been interested in escapism.

Favorite music: Again, my tastes are extremely inclusive. The genres that are least represented in my collection are rap and R&B, but I do have some of those, as well. Right now I'm mostly listening to German and Italian Baroque music. Oh, and new French Musette. And American Folk-Punk stuff. I have somewhat recently gotten over my distaste for Beethoven.

Favorite food: This depends largely on my mood. Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, American, Thai, whatever. Right now I could really go for some excellent Pad Thai.

My computer, an internet connection, good headphones, sarcasm, the Oxford comma, and inspiration.

EVERYTHING. I can't help it. My mind is a very busy place.

Either at a friend's house, or at a restaurant or theatre, or at home doing something.

That would hardly be private, would it?

If you feel the desire to, I suppose.
