Your Notes

Edit your notes

I am philosophical, radical, and easily amused.

My Self-Summary

I'm in my mid-30's, just divorced, with a wonderful baby daughter. I read a lot (no, seriously, a LOT), program computers by day and am currently reinventing myself (patent pending).

I enjoy boardgames, computer games, games in general, reading, programming, hiking, awesome conversation. Discovered pilates a few months back, and enjoying it immensely.

I'm easy-going, undemanding and try and treat people well.

What I’m doing with my life

This is the time of reinvention. By which I mean I'm reinvestigating almost everything. On the dull side, I work week days and tend to be fairly good about being responsible...ish.

I’m really good at

I like to think I'm a good conversationalist and attentive lover. :P

On a less serious note, I hope I'm really good at making computers do what I want them to, (but I think the computers themselves have doubts).

I'm a fantastic person to watch movies/series with, and/or discuss books with.

The first things people usually notice about me

My laugh? My eyes? My noble character? All these and more! Or maybe my sense of irony.

Mrs Dalloway.

Favorite genre:
Sci Fi

Favorite food:
Sushi (sigh, so conventional), meat (I do buy organic and free range whenever possible), fruit, vegetables. I prefer simple, elegant meals to rich concoctions.

Favorite music:
Awesome music - I don't really care what genre. Examples: Modest Mouse, The Shins, Leila, Mr Gelatine, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Cut Copy, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Amy Winehouse, whoever does that "day and night" house track, Lil Wayne, Kanye West.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Politics, the state of the world, literature, movies, family, the future of the human species, the past of the human species, jokes, work, random events that happened decades ago, the last thing I read online, the ideas in whatever sci book I'm currently reading, the genius of dead poets, economics, poker, psychology, and on and on and on.

There are very few things that don't interest me or that I'm not curious about.

On a typical Friday night I am

Having a few drinks at the local or spending the night relaxing with friends. Occasionally I'll be out at a party or a club, or possibly at a braai.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am a non-monogamist and an atheist. In general I'm secretive in public and very open in intimate relationships.

You should message me if

You're funny and non-clingy and hold non-conventional but critically sound points of view. You're not hung up about sex and you're not looking for someone to be your "everything".

If you like literature (in particular science fiction and "classics" like Virginia Woolf and Hemmingway) then I'm your guy. Ditto with moving pictures (series or cinema), or games of any sort.

If you're looking for a rugger bugger or someone who cares about soccer and/or sport in general, then don't expect me to hold up my end of the relationship.
