I've lived in England, Hungary, Japan and a handful of US states. Been in Boston for several years now. Not much for image management. I'd rather look silly having fun than look cool being bored. People tell me I march to the beat of a different drummer, etc., which is something I never really set out to do, as I am certainly not the confrontational outlaw rebel. (In fact, I usually find those people reeeally boring at their core.) I mostly like feeling like I'm connecting with people rather than playing at human interaction like it's a game to determine social standing. Also, I'm crazy about stories... from the Epic of Gilgamesh onwards to the modern TV serial.

Been working in a typical office job for a few years (textbook publishing) and let the corporate mindset creep in a little too much. Trying now to jumpstart my creative projects which is where my real passion lies. 3/4 of the way through a first novel. Yikes!

Making conversation that will be remembered at the end of the day.

The lively and goofy sense of humor. Unless they first meet me in a library or something because you're kind of supposed to be quiet there.

Enjoy serialized cable dramas like Breaking Bad, Homeland, and Game of Thrones. My favorite comedies are usually too clever their own good and get canceled after a couple seasons, e.g. Arrested Development, Community. I'm amazed How I Met Your Mother escaped this curse. Also, I love Adventure Time. I can't imagine not loving it.

Movies is too big a topic to really dig into here so I'll just say favorite directors include the Coen brothers, Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino, and Joss Whedon.

For reading I prefer all sorts of genre stuff (but hopefully with a brain.) I particularly enjoy Phillip K Dick and Terry Pratchett.

Musical taste runs towards critics' darlings of all genres. All time favorites include Nick Cave, The Clash, and The Cure. (And I love dancing to cheeseball 80s music.)

Storytelling.
Interesting ideas.
Dancing.
Working with my hands.
Movie night get togethers.
Pond walks.

Big picture, daydream type questions. When I was four and didn't really know what a brain was how did I already think of my mind (or "me") as being located in my head? (I think it's because that's where all the visual and auditory input is received.)

Drinks with friends, catch a play, or see a show at my local rock club. If I'm at home I'm probably mainlining narrative in some form or other.

I'm a dealer in limited edition movie posters. It's pretty nerdy.

You want to talk to me. Uh, duhhhhh...
