Easy-going. Easily pleased. Easy to chat with. Snuggly.
Art lover. Music lover. Book lover.
I'm curious, and to my own consternation, I might break some social rule to dig into your brain some, but it is only because people are interesting and I can't stop myself. Every once in a while people are disappointing, but always always interesting. I'm curious about everything besides people too.
This self-summary seems like an awfully narcissistic undertaking; it makes me feel like a "Me Monster". Don't know what that is? Enjoy the free education found here with some Brian Regan stand-up:

Well, I am admittedly under-achieving at present, even though no one would suspect or accuse me of it. I have my kids, my teaching, my painting, my just-researching Masters programs in the works....but I am such a rock star and over-achiever destined for inevitable quasi-greatness in my own fantasies, that my very full life can seem a little lackluster by comparison. I don't yet actually have the ten degrees and/or careers I fully intend to pursue in this Earth life, so I'm just warming up. And I went to gifted (read:nerd) school, so my former classmates are the real movers and shakers that can make your self-esteem dip a little when you play catch up with them. But if you hang on til my senior years, you will have seen that I have been places!
Not really very obsessed with over-achievement at all actually even though I try to pursue good goals.....I don't care so much for knowledge as I do for wisdom in life, and I want a Ph. D in Happy Relationships with a Kindness emphasis.

1. Scrabble (see nerd admission/disclosure statement above).
2. Making breakfast. But ONLY breakfast. I mean, I have never seen such a wide divide in a person's culinary proficiencies than the tragedies that are my dinner attempts and my terrific breakfasts. This is why "breakfast for dinner" is a no-brainer 'round these parts.
3. Encouragement and validation. I see the best in people and am super happy when I'm supporting people. My broken record: Dooooo it. Especially your creative stuff. Make it. Write it. Sing it. Whatever your thing is, do it. Nothing is cooler to me than an individual making their mark on the world. It's why we're here. No one remembers the clock-puncher stuff you have to get done at the end of things. Make time for the important stuff says I.
4. Talking you into liking a painting or a song I happen to be obsessing about at the time. I get results. I win converts.
5. Staring out the window or at the ceiling and thinking. This is a time-waster by most people's standards, but I have done and enjoyed it so often that I prefer to think of it as a noble endeavor by now.

Well, this is just weird to answer about yourself.
By sight? I guess I would say I usually have a stack of books with me everywhere I go. They're in my car, my bag, my hands, and overtaking my nightstand (despite my heartfelt devotion to minimalist interiors). I have a couple feet of long blond hair (which can be in any wild state or configuration), a smile for most anyone, and sometimes a too-long stare if you're new to me. I have curbed that last one to the best of my ability, but I sneak-stare in public and hope I don't get caught.
Personality? I am interested in all kinds of things so I guess I am easy to talk to. However, with me, you'll have to watch out for an oh-so nonchalant but inevitable steering of the conversation towards the art and music you fancy.

This is the money question. I think about these things all day long, and wait/save up to talk about exactly this. I surely don't have room for all my contenders, but a few favorite genres will suffice.
Food: All, but lately Greek and Thai. Last year it was thin-crust pizza varieties and Cheetos Puffs. I'm truly remorseful about the Cheetos fiasco. They are space food, created in some NASA lab with an airgun to be sure, and they have no discernible origin. But within them, mad lab scientists embedded my kryptonite.
Shows: Anything art and design based. And bad-A action shows like "24" and "Prison Break" (still mourning the end of those two series). And "20/20" and Sunday morning political round-tables like the seniors watch.
Movies: Three examples, that I think characterize the flavor. "Midnight in Paris", "The Count of Monte Cristo", and "The Brothers Bloom". Anything with Edward Norton, Paul Bettany, or Owen Wilson. My platonic girl crushes are Eva Mendes, Cameron Diaz, and Natalie Portman (although she's slippin' I gotta say.... "Thor" what?) And Holocaust and Civil Rights movies. Because you just gotta.
Books: All philosophy, religion, art and psychology books. Let's talk titles sometime.
Muuuuusic: My true love. Nearly everything. Mostly indie and singer/songwriter stuff. Give me a worthwhile thing to say in the simplest way. But a representative fantasy mix would include the Avett Brothers, Gold Panda, Feist, Buena Vista Social Club, Ben Howard, Local Natives, Wyclef Jean, Matt and Kim, the XX, JVM, David Grisman, Tricky, Fiona Apple, Yuna, The Cure, The White Stripes, something bluegrass and an old African spiritual. Everything. I want to know about it if it's good, so cough up the recommendations.

Esoteric Six: People. Art (if pressed, I would choose colors). Music. Religion. Nature. Learning.
Tangible Six: Hooded sweatshirts. Art and design magazines. iPod tunes. Vintage furniture items/upcycling. Educational institutions: art museums, libraries, colleges, movies and the internet. Chocolate - the good expensive kind - gas station chocolate makes me depressed.

Thinking. Meta-cognition is an ever-present concern.
How migrating birds fly in unison and know what to do without some bird choreographer. * Update! Someone messaged me on here, and told me exactly why they do that, so no more wondering..I already have my proverbial OK Cupid money back for just that issue alone getting resolved. Thanks dude!
How it can be that Eminem is such a good rap artist, despite the whiteness - props.
Why it is that everything that feels the most real and important to me in life is invisible: relationships (an entirely real "thing" - invisible!), souls, thoughts, emotions, music, air, space/expanse/room, truth, love..... it freaks me out to think about for too long. Must be why negative space is one of my favorite elements in art. It's not "there", but it sooooo is.
Jesus Christ and what a beautiful and difficult life He lived, and the complexity/simplicity in each of His teachings.
Loathing bad architecture and interior design, despite my commitment to open-mindedness. I try to not feel superior in this one respect, but I can pretty much guarantee I can improve 98 % of rooms/buildings I have been in. It's a curse and a gift.
If Tupac is alive and well somewhere (for my sister's sake, she really wants to know).
Why we aren't kinder and more gentle with ourselves and each other.
Avoiding aforementioned Cheetos and expensive chocolate. Impressive and endearing traits in people.

Plotting and planning to cook up my perfect night recipe of:
1. out with friends some
2. in with family some
3. alone with books/art/music/myself some

Aww man. I used to (might still) sing "Time after Time" by Cyndi Lauper over and over again with near-tears.

you like friends... If you are your own good friend.... If you want to tell me about your friends.... Your real friends want you to make some more friends....If your imaginary friend is bugging you at present.
