Your Notes
Edit your notesI am affable, introspective, and whimsical.
My Self-Summary
I run with the moose. I can type faster than any animal in the
forest. I sit in front of a computer for 12+ hours a day, but I
usually have dirt under my fingernails. (I do a lot of gardening and I rescue
native
plants from construction sites.)
I'm in love with life and trying to live it to the fullest. I enjoy connecting with self-aware, open-minded people. I love analyzing life, relationships, and interactions. If you enjoy long, deep conversations, I would like to meet you.
I value creativity, humor, honesty, beauty, and joy. I love animals and plants, and I feel a strong connection with nature.
I live in Bellevue with divadespina, my wife and best friend.

What I’m doing with my life
Meaningful, rich connection is far too rare in our society. I've
always felt that lack, and I'm doing what I can to change it, but
I'll probably need help from some of you.
I'm striving to make my life a continual process of learning and personal growth. I have an enormous list of things I want to learn and understand. I'll never get through the list, but I'm giving it my best shot.
I'm also trying to keep my inner child alive. Half the time I think I'm too silly and frivolous, and half the time I wish I were more silly and frivolous.

I’m really good at
Rock, Paper, Scissors. I recently won $3 in prize money for taking
first place at a local RPS tournament! I enjoy RPS (or "The Dance
of Hands") for many reasons: It combines dexterity, subtlety and
quickness of wit, and sheer force of will. Truly the game of kings.
The first things people usually notice about me
If they met me through OkCupid, they notice that I'm not huge.
Apparently my photo makes me look like I'm 6'2", when in reality
I'm of average height. I do have a robotic arm though.

The six things I could never do without

I spend a lot of time thinking about
What constitutes wisdom? How can I attain it?
What is the nature of consciousness? How much free will do we really have? Aren't we just a series of chemical reactions?
Which of my deeply-ingrained assumptions and beliefs are mere cultural baggage that I would rather shed?
What makes great music great?
Other areas of interest include: Classical music, biology, psychology, anthropology, archaeology, film, science fiction, history, art, computers, programming, politics, relationships, polyamory and the poly lifestyle, and many more.

On a typical Friday night I am
Doing something I really love.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I don't think I like eggplant. I've always wanted to like it
because I love the color and shape of a nice eggplant. I finally
got to try it, and I found it was mostly flavorless. That gorgeous
color promises so much... I still get a surge of joy whenever I see
one, even if I don't want to put it in my mouth.
You should message me if
You enjoy analyzing and discussing life, film, literature, or
classical music. Or if you're interested in gardening, landscaping,
or Northwest native plants. Or if you want to for any other
reason!
