Your Notes
Edit your notesI am talking, gesticulating, and sleepy.
My Self-Summary
I like to learn things. Hair in the sink gives me the creeps. I own
about nine hundred books. I write stories, but I'll get to that in the
next section. For some reason I like to tell animals what kind of
animal they are, as in "You're a fish!"
I'm good at a lot of things but meeting new people is not one of them, which is why I'm here.

What I’m doing with my life
I edit copy for a living. I'm also writing a novel and some short
stories. The stories keep my brain limber for the novel, though
sometimes I worry they'll take over. When I write I feel good about
life.
I also draw comics, mostly about a harried little version of myself yelling and flailing and doing all kinds of things I don't really do in life but sometimes feel as if I am doing. Right now I'm in the middle of a series in which I discuss life's profundities with Dr. Walter Freeman, father of the transorbital lobotomy. I can't draw very well, but you can tell it's Walter because I usually draw him holding an ice pick.

I’m really good at
My job. I really love to copyedit. Sometimes I'm pretty good at
writing. I can
come up with good doggerel off the top of my head, and
when I fold origami stars they come out right at least half the
time. I may well have the best deadpan face you will ever see,
which is useful for telling outrageous lies. (Note: I always cop to
my outrageous lies immediately after telling them.) I make a mean
borscht, too.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm not sure. Sometimes I think the first thing they notice is that
I'm trying to be really witty and interesting to impress them. I do
have very nice green eyes, though, that's got to be it at least
some of the time.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I like Virginia
Woolf, George
Eliot, Herman Melville, Beryl Bainbridge,
Sinclair
Lewis, Katharine Anne Porter,
Jessamyn
West, and a whole heck of a lot of other authors. And, since
distaste is important too, I should mention that I hate Kurt
Vonnegut and Cormac McCarthy. (I know that may be a dealbreaker for
some people.) I like me some Kurosawa, especially Sanjuro and Seven
Samurai and Rashomon. Also Citizen Kane and The Seventh Seal, and
those John Ford films in Monument Valley. Lots of stuff! Music:
Warren Zevon,
the Beastie
Boys, the Beatles, all kinds of soulless beep-boop
music like the Orb.
Also I am a glutton, though I am especially partial to black
coffee, roasted
Brussels sprouts, and Bombay Sapphire and tonic.
The six things I could never do without
I'll say coffee, books, human contact, friendly animals, solitude,
and the Internet. Those are all pretty good. My best days have all
six.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My writing. Whatever I'm reading at the moment. Mystery Science
Theater 3000 episodes. Weird animals like the numbat.
On a typical Friday night I am
I am a freelancer and that means the weekend doesn't have the same
meaning for me that it has for people with real jobs. That said, I
am usually either working, or spending a sedate evening with my
more sedate friends, or tearing shit up with my more rambunctious
friends, particularly my cousin, who gets into all kinds of trouble
and is nice enough to let me tag along with him, kind of like a
remora on a shark.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I can't eat animal crackers, because I feel sorry for them. And I
own a unicycle, but I've never learned to ride it.
You should message me if
You're a gregarious loner, like me. You walk fast and talk fast and
do lots of both. You want to chat about Walter Freeman or numbats,
or you want to tell me about the weird things you think about,
preferably over coffee. Heck, you want to chat about stuff
generally. You can teach me how to ride this unicycle.
You just should, is all. I'm sweet as a honeycomb, really.
