Seizing the daybed. Trying to seize the day, but it runs contrary to my nature.

I don't mind being alone- I amuse myself readily, but I really believe that men and women are meant to be together, to annoy, confuse and emotionally cripple one another. Naturally, I would prefer to take time to find the perfect person for the job. I don't know what I want or what form the details will take, but I know I don't want just a physical buddy. Details can be worked out later. I'm flexible.

Update- I have a snuggle honey now. Looking for friends.

I am cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and washable

Looking for the manual. Smelling the flowers. Letting life happen. Embracing the bitter and the sweet. Being a cynical optimist.

I'm considering a career in cat toy research and development.

Making shiny metal objects. I make "stuff". Or make the tools to make the stuff. I'm a machinist- a modern Homo habilis . We have better stones now, though, with microprocessors, servos, and buttons. I press the buttons. My power tools are the best. In fact, my high-horsepower power tools made your power tools. Suck it, manly men, and your wimpy so-called tools.

I really like to program computers, but that usually is a conversation killer, so I won't go on about it. Just expect to see me staring at rune-like incantations on the screen often. It's like playing one of those on-line role-playing games, I suppose, but with less human interaction. I spend a lot of time connected to the matrix but I don't mind an occasional red pill.

My sequined codpiece.

I like all genres of music. There is no bad music style; just bad songs, poorly done.

I like all types of foods, and consider it a joy to find new ethnic styles and dishes. I have a hard time eating mammal internal organs- but I'm working on it.

I don't really watch TV much. It's kind of noisy and obnoxious to my quiescent brain state. I prefer the computer- It's quieter, and I am in control, sort of.

Rephrased: What are six non-essential things that make life more worth living for me?

Art, music, philosophy-Like, poetry that life inspires, man.

"The unexamined life is not worth living for a human being." I'm with you, Soc, man.

My village, and the important people and creatures in it. Like, love, man, you know?

Enjoyable work. Dig, it, man.

Spice and variety- not just in food. You know, like everything, like.

An attitude that enables me to suck all that in. I'm working on it, man.

How I can make life a more memorable experience. How I can find excitement in all manners of things. How things work-people, machines, life. Whatever strikes my fancy that day.

Sometimes I think I shouldn't think so much.

Digging up fresh graves or crochet. Ha-- just kidding- I don't do crochet.

I save spiders from certain doom from porcelain bathroom fixtures. My spider reincarnation karma is topped off. Somebody has to love the life sucking arachnids. Ticks, mites, etc- you are on your own, I'm afraid.

You are kind, intelligent, wholesome, and loose after a couple glasses of wine.
