I'm a very open person and want to be around people who both share and appreciate that quality.

Moved to SF in September '07. I'm an outgoing, adventurous feminist who loves to learn, play and engage in friendly debate. I adore being outdoors,eclectic and live music, conceptual art, photography, fun, NPR, costumes, falafel, travel, whisperlight stoves, good beer, surfing, skiing, anthropology, museums, dive bars, burlesque dancing, burning man, fireplaces (although I don't have one) and grapefruit. I love learning. Try everything is my mantra.

Did I mention I love fun? I'm really good at having spontaneous, silly, costumed (or not), messy, musical fun.

If you don't appreciate Metalocalypse it's probably not going to work.

I wish I were a [mad] scientist.

I want to travel in space.

I love life.

I eat crackers in bed.

Turning oxygen into carbon dioxide.
Bringing energy wherever I go.
Working at a high tech startup in Silicon Valley yet living in SF.

Having fun, laughing out loud when I'm alone or with company. Traveling the world on a whim, learning new things, social theory, starting dance parties, setting off fireworks, drinking tasty beer, making costumes, empathizing, touching my toes, wasting time on the internet, making people around me feel comfortable, talking to strangers, athletics, having crazy dreams, breaking/losing my phone, getting pictured in local periodicals, being 5-9 minutes late, giving warm, enthusiastic greetings, hugs and massages.

That I'm really, really enthusiastic and smile a lot.

I'm wearing a costume.

I had to wear an eye patch on and for a few months because of a necessary surgery and it was certainly an attention grabber. I'm fairly confident that I was able to make the eye-patch sexy.

The intertubes.
In terms of fiction I really like Tom Robbins, Chuck Palahniuck, Vonnegut of course, Alan Moore. I love reading social theory such as Foucault, Bourdieu, Durkheim and many others. I tend to be in the middle of about 5 books at once of very different styles and topics and read them according to my mood. I've recently gotten really into Scifi: Hyperion, and the Quantum Thief are two of my favorites.

Mostly just polka. If I happen to not be listening to polka it might be no wave, or world music. Here is a randomish list: Bowie, Ministry, Secret Chiefs, Dave Douglas, The Cramps, Boredoms, Skinny Puppy, Talking Heads, Pelican, Twin Shadow, The Knife, Mr. Bungle, Russian Circles, Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Parenthetical Girls, Father John Misty, Mogwai, Stereolab, Patti Smith, of montreal, White Zombie holds a special place in my heart, experimental stuff and much more. I love live and eclectic music and I'm probably the happiest industrial music fan ever. Also, dancy dancy funky goodness.

Also, I tore my ACL to Ministry... at Burning Man.

Falafel, cheese, grapefruits, hummus, indian food, spicy stuff w/ a beer, fresh produce, veggie burritos, and food that I don't cook. Please cook for me.

Netflix, Metropolis, Naked Lunch and all Cronenberg, Zardoz, all Herzog films, Repo Man, Journey Reel 8, The Birdcage, Un Chien Andalou, Moon, From Beyond, Children of Men, Koyaanisqatsi, The Fantastic Planet, Little Otik, This Is England, 28 Days Later, Man with a Movie Camera, The Parent Trap, Chinatown, 4, Kung Fu Hustle, Abre los ojo, Battlestar Gallactica, Arrested Development, Twin Peaks, Breaking Bad, Futurama, Human Planet, TNG

new information, humor- the dark kind, music, travel, a reusable waterbottle, steamy skilled make-outs, exercise . Also, enthusiasm. Yes, that is eight things. I'm so glad you can count.

Power structures, making things happen, how lasers are to kittens what teflon is to eggs, how much cooler I would be if I played the accordion or better yet if I could train a snake to play one.

You'll find me at a dive bar drinking beer, spending far too long
picking out the perfect songs to listen to on the jukebox, maybe at
a gallery opening, starting a dance party, riding my bike, at a
concert, or other interesting event going on in the city. Or
maybe sitting in a tent in the woods. All entail having fun and
smiling. Any could be experienced in costume.

I eat food off the ground, various grounds. I've eaten out of the trash.

I love popping zits, not just mine.

As much as I love my parts (and believe me I do), I have penis envy. God, I just want a day with one!

You're smart, warm, spontaneous, fun, comfortable with yourself and have diverse interests. Also please have lots of energy and don't be afraid to share your thoughts, vulnerabilities or dinner.

You see and appreciate shades of gray, not just black and white.

You're a burner.

Sexy people very welcomed, provided that you hit all my other points. I really like smart people.

I pretty much love beards. Though, totally not a requirement.

Please be able to be open with your mind and feelings.

People who are super duper organized, intense neat-freaks weird me out a bit. That is, of course, unless they want to help me organize my closet, life, everything... then, they're awesome!

Also let it be known that I often forget about this site and get busy, you know, living life. I'm not super into long internet communication, and would rather get a beer quickly if I think you seem interesting.
