My self-summary
NOTE: I am moving to Portland in early April. I need new platonic friends! Especially queer friends! Straight people are okay too I guess.

"Why be happy when you could be interesting?" -Slavoj Žižek

Cynical gin-drinking (former) photographer. Sometimes I'm funny, but other times I'm rude. Probably more of the latter. I can be oddly charming, but only if you "get" me. Whatever that means.

HEY GUYS, HEY GUYS, HEY GUYS: I cut my hair and took out my septum. It's still pretty long though. I'm too lazy to upload new pictures. Deal.
What I’m doing with my life
I don't do photography much anymore. I miss it.

Working at a fashion marketing company. Being a cynic. Being a nerd.

Drinking gin. Drinking whiskey. Drinking scotch.
I’m really good at
Taking pictures. Drinking Gin. Reading a lot. "Understanding" "things". Being rude in an endearing way. Sometimes not in an endearing way.

Lowering gwilliam's productivity.

Forgetting people's preferred pronouns and feeling really bad about it. (really)
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyes.

My crazy hair.

My crazy beard in various states of beard-dom.

It WAS the glass of gin-on-the-rocks that is perpetually in my hand. Although these days, it's mostly scotch.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Books: Anything Vonnegut. Inverted World. Neuromancer. War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning. Regarding the Pain of Others. 4.48 Psychosis. The Picture of Dorian Grey. Against Nature.

Movies: Boys Don't Cry, Serpico, The Battle of Algiers, Blade Runner, Neo Ned, Run Lola Run, Before Sunrise.

Music: Iggy Pop, The Clash, Lou Reed, Iron Maiden, Mika Miko, Neil Young, Bikini Kill, The Cure, Joy Division, Blondie, X-Ray Spex, PJ Harvey, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Suicide, Cold Cave. Too many.

Food: All of it. That's a lie.
The six things I could never do without
My Camera
Gin/Scotch/Whiskey
Depressing Music
Defying Gender Stereotypes
Time spent alone
Eurocentric philosophy.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why it's hard to make money as an artist. Why people find difference so terrifying. Why I like the people I like so much more than I like other people. Why I dislike so many people. Tattoos I should get. Why people are so thoughtless, in general.

The experience of not being able to understand the experiences of others.
On a typical Friday night I am
Totally random. I could be at a show. I could be out drinking. I could be reading a book. I could be out drinking WHILE reading a book.

I really like reading books at loud bars for some reason. I can't concentrate without background noise.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I like girls that look like boys, and boys that look like girls. I also really like people who are androgynous. That's not to say that I don't like feminine girls, but I definitely have a thing for boyish girls and really really really girlish boys.

I still like non-genderqueer or genderfuck or gender-whatever people, so don't let that "secret" scare you off!

NOTE: If you're femme, and you reply to one of my messages saying "so do I look like a man", I will be seriously annoyed. READ PEOPLE! LOOK AT THE PARAGRAPH DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS ONE.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 18–35
  • Near me
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
You're vulgar.

You aren't afraid of alcohol.

You're super weird, in the true meaning of the word, unlike the million people on okcupid who say "OMG I'M SO WEIRD/QUIRKY/NERDY etc etc".

You DO NOT have one of those pictures of you jumping up in the air looking super happy. You know the ones I mean.

You're androgynous/genderqueer/genderfuck.
You're NOT androgynous/genderqueer/genderfuck.

You wan't to.

NOTE: My profile pretty specifically explains my sexuality. I'm not into masculine gay dudes. Straight is just a poor word for what I am. Sorry guys.

P.S. I'm poly. So theres that. If that's not your thing it probably won't work for us.

And NO FUCKING LIBERTARIANS.
