***Status update: I am very much in love and with someone whom I adore, and so I am only seeking friendship right now.***

Currently...working in a corporate cul-de-sac, writing bad to mediocre poetry, reading too many books at one time, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and spending quality time with my basset hound.

Being awkward and talking at length about literature, writing, and movies.

Food: Breakfast Food (e.g. eggs, bacon, buttermilk biscuits, potatoes o'brien, pancakes), Sushi, Pizza, Escargots, ...

poetry, books, coffee, notebook/pen, music, my basset hound...I know that this is essentially seven things, but a notebook and a pen need to be together.

Poetry, absurdism, sex, movies, social/wealth inequality in the United States, food, affection, solitude...

writing at a cafe, at dinner with friends, watching a movie, reading, walking my dog, or a combination thereof.

is nothing. I'm pretty open. Just ask.

you enjoy stimulating, intellectual conversation, movies, coffee, books, art, etc.; you can teach me something new and exciting about the world around us; you are ridiculous and goofy; you believe in compassion and kindness and you don't see them as a weakness.

Don't message me: if you fail to understand the difference between sarcasm/wit and cruelty/pettiness; you have a penchant for playing games; and, you are unwilling to put a reciprocal amount of effort into having a meaningful friendship.
