I'm Tiger from Fievel Goes West. I'm Ok Go's album Oh No. I'm contradictions and simplifications. Only person that can judge me is my mom and I take everything she says with a BIG grain of salt. I dance in Starbucks and people avoid me on the bus.

That all being said, I'm amazingly gentle and bring that aspect of myself into all parts of my life. Whether I'm working on a car, stabbing someone with a needle, or playing with a puppy, I never use more force than needed and try to make it a lighthearted experience. I'm ridiculously cute, shy, and friendly.

I'm working on getting married! My fiancee and I have been dating for over a year now and are looking forward to tying the knot so we can get back to our regular, daily lives.

I'm currently working as a piercer and tattoo artist in the
greater Seattle area. I love my job. I get to meet interesting
people and draw pretty pictures for a living. Yes, I'm an artist,
and I pay my bills. How fucking cool is that?

Other than that, I'm going to the dog park, hanging out with my
fiance, knitting, and spending time with my wonderful housemates
and plethora of animals. Right now we're up to 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 7 chickens. Probably adding in a snake and another chicken sometime soon.

Piercing, massage, tattooing, eating, cooking, conversation, math, singing, drawing, opera, getting tattooed, "bulldogging", playing guitar, researching, cleaning, dancing (tango, east/west coast swing, and salsa), finding odd music, making others laugh, writing, fixing computers, typing (yes, I'm a bit of a spelling/grammar nazi, but I won't point it out), Jhonen Vasquez quotes, being compassionate, debating, sex, and some other things, supposedly.

Hair, tattoos, piercings, or tits... It's a bit much to take in all at once. I've gotten fairly used to being stared at constantly, but it still catches me off guard at times.

Books: Depending on when you check in, I'll either be reading 15 different things or none. Right now I'm just finished up 1984 and The Name of the Wind and am currently working on A Midsummer's Night Dream and The Time Traveler's Wife. Then The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss and a biography on Einstein.

Movies/TV: I love dark humor to Disney. Everything Is Illuminated, Mary Poppins, Death to Smoochy, The Jacket, Tin Man, Law & Order: SVU, Donnie Darko, Wall-E, Amadeus, The Seven Samurai, Glee, Little Miss Sunshine, Bambi, Daria, Firefly, Requiem for a Dream, House, The Pianist, Battlestar Galactica, Paprika, Howl's Moving Castle, The Antichrist, The Machinist, and anything in between. I hate Saw, I love Se7en.

Music: Yes, please. I tend to wander in styles based on how I'm feeling. This can encompass artists like Sufjan Stevens, Phoenix, Tune-Yards, Gogol Bordello, Gotan Project, System of a Down, Iron & Wine, Tech N9ne, Robots in Disguise, and plenty of things that I can't think of right now. Right now I'm stuck on Gnarls Barkley, Murs, and Caravan Palace.

Concerts: I've recently become a bit of a concert nut. Recently I've seen Otep, Suicidal Tendencies, The xx, Belle & Sebastian, Stars, Built to Spill, Gwar (two times), The Old 97's, The Decemberists, Yo la Tengo, Tune Yards, and Buke and Gass.

Food: Thai, Italian, Ethiopian, sushi, pho, Mexican, greasy American, hot wings, bi bim bap, and just about anything else. I tried sea urchin recently... I didn't like it. FYI.

I could talk about basic human survival, but that wouldn't say a lot. With that said...

Family, artistic expression, friends, analytical thought, music, being touched.

Work in it's many forms: Tattooing, drawing, cleaning, piercing, house projects, and so forth.

If I'm not consciously working on those things, then I may try to be productive and plan out other things, but I like to let my mind wander and think about simple daily life. How can I re-set the turquoise my grandfather gave me, wouldn't it be nice to be down to 120 lbs again, and musing over tattoo ideas for myself.

My current thought project is figuring out when the right time to get my knuckles tattooed is. I've figured out what I want and what font, but it's a very, very big commitment.

It's strange to me that I now work until 9pm on Fridays. It's wonderful... but strange. I'm used to working until 2am and going home to just collapse. Now I leave work on Fridays and I'm able to hang out with friends, watch some TV, play with the animals, and have a beer before heading to bed. I still have to work on Saturday, but it's so nice to have some relaxation time.

I'm bipolar 2. I'm currently on very good drugs, but it's still something that I want to be upfront with because I know it can freak people out. I'm not crazy (okay, a little), I'm not disabled, I'm just myself.

You want to talk, hang out, or whatever. I'm generally open minded and over committed. I am very committed to my fiance, so I'm not looking for anything monogamous. It's good if you're also ridiculously busy.
