Thanks to the miracle of twenty-first century social media technology, I can describe myself in a single word. #atheistvegetarianpolyamorousprettycuteforanerd #getatme
Ok, two words.

Likes:
That Taim now has a food truck.
That in order to buy healthy groceries, I get the added bonus of running two miles.
My brother's drunk dials when I'm on a date.
Listening to people with no business complaining, lament things just as easily ignored/eaten.

Dislikes:
That Taim_Mobile has not quite mastered The Twitter.
That in order to buy groceries I have to run two miles.
My brother's drunk dials when I'm on a date.
People with no business complaining, lamenting the vicissitudes of first-world citizenry. All I hear is "I am blind to all the fun right in front of me."

The cutest 1% of girls get 99% of the messages.

My life is a moment to moment oscillation between seriously engaging the inequalities of the real world and haphazardly frolicking in an imaginary one.

To pay the rent I hang out with old blind people and read them their familial correspondence (complete with authoring relative impersonation), mailed ponzi schemes (complete with robotic or used car salesman impersonation), and Lord of the Rings (complete with character impersonations ((my favorite is the Mouth of Sauron, it sort of sounds like someone caught between a life of aristocracy and fronting a black metal band))). And I canvas for LGBT rights in the workplace.

Basically, I live my life as though it is one long episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and I'm on this site to find others to join me. If that's not romance, I don't know what is.

...having a range of facial hair options.
...impersonating pterodactyls. Been practicing since the 4th grade.
...getting people to give me their credit card information on the street.

With any luck it's something like "My, what an uncommon synthesis of good looks, intelligence and humor, I simply must know more!"

More likely: "Is he dancing or running?"
Recently I've begun to enthusiastically (strategic euphemism) listen to EDM while running. I secretly fantasize about dating someone who is also thrilled about running together while listening to a playlist one of us came up with. We'd trade off of course. #feminist

Music: I've been on an EDM kick recently, here's why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BGnUg5QKig

No but seriously, if that song doesn't make you want to dance, I don't know what to do with you. It makes me dance just thinking about it, and I don't even know what dance is.

I have a weakness for good melodies. The genre doesn't seem to matter. See for yourself:

Not really sure where else to put this but...first date idea? We play speed chess at a bar, except instead of clocks, while it's your turn, you have to be drinking. If you finish your drink before checkmating, you lose. Loser buys the next round. I can't tell if this would be awesome or awful.

1. Vegetables. If you play your cards right, I may cook a meal for you that will convince you that you don't need to eat meat.
2. Contraception. I like sex. I'm just not ready to make babies yet. If you play your cards right, maybe we can practice. ;)
3. Situations where I'm pretending to be serious with Person A (who thinks I'm being serious) to amuse Person B (who gets that I'm not being serious). If you play your cards right, perhaps you'll get to enjoy some Person B-dom.
4. Entertaining totally ridiculous hypotheticals. If you play your cards right, I might ask you the Ultimate Hypothetical a friend of mine came up with in high school.
5. Philosophical conversation. If you play your cards right, I may ask you to rationally defend a belief you hold, while intoxicated. Not that you only believe it while intoxicated, but you would have to defend it while intoxicated. Of course, I may ask you to do this even if you play your cards totally wrong. Rationality isn't just for good card players ya bum! IZ FAR EVERYONE
6. That amazing first date experience when you and someone else just click immediately and you find you can open up to them because they feel so comfortable, and you stay up all night laughing at the same things and before you know it you must tear their heart out as an offering to the gods. Hey, the sun isn't going to raise itself. If you play your cards right, your sacrifice will please Huitzilopochtli.

...religious thinking and other popular delusions. I'm constantly thinking about how to create impact during a conversation, especially when you're trying to show someone that they are being irrational. (Never an easy thing to hear.)

...the evolutionary origins of human behaviors. I majored in psychology so I spend a lot of time thinking about people, the cognitive biases that make people behave irrationally, and how we can help each other correct for them.

...the possibility of losing the sense of "I", that is, the feeling that behind my eyes there's a little "thinker" of my thoughts and "experiencer" of my experiences. Many people have claimed to learn how to drop this sense of self through various techniques (meditation) and have been left with really good feelings, compassion for others etc. I am simply interested in whether or not this is possible (for me at least).

...outer space and what must be living on the planets orbiting the 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe. I wish I was 16 years old and lived in the far future when we've surveyed the galaxy and made contact with thousands of extraterrestrial life forms, learning this alien zoology in school, and already involved in romantic relationships.

...if Aubrey de Grey is right and whether or not it is possible to engineer humans to live indefinitely. What's more, I hope this hope is realized in exactly 9 years, because in 9 years I will be 35, and my eternal appearance will be captured at the height of my physical attraction. It would be like highlander. Except instead of fighting with swords, we use rational arguments. My enemies would still be decapitated though. DUH.

...the phrases we use. For example, how did it become the case that the phrase "just sayin" essentially means "I'm not just saying"?

Most friday nights I am eagerly awaiting the next semi-literate pair of tits to sweep me off my feet. #feminist

I love running over the Williamsburg Bridge into the city on Friday nights when everyone is getting all fancy-dancy. It makes me feel like I was not only cool enough to get invited to the party, but I had to run there because I got held up by all the cool shit I was doing in Brooklyn. #laundry

Logging onto Metacritic as the fictitious go-to film critic of a fictitious city newspaper and adding my take on "misunderstood" films. Like how Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is a "surreal tearjerker that ultimately asks more questions than it answers."

Given how prone we are to skimming profiles, I'm hesitant to use any words that rhyme with "rash" or "infection," especially in this section, but I must confess that despite hardly ever using twitter I have developed a serious hashtag addiction. They say admitting that you have a problem is the first step right? What's step two again? Oh, just go look at my pictures.

...you're Elizabeth Warren and you're looking for the Ultimate in Twenty-Something Boy Toy technology.

...you wish to join my new group: Imaginary Nation States Arguing Non Essentials (I.N.S.A.N.E.). To join, please send me a message including the name and brief description of your imaginary nation state such as its population, principle exports and non essential topics for which it's people hold strong opinions. My country is Umadistan? and its main export is its trolls (of which there are 20 million). The people of Umadistan? concern themselves with whether, why and to what degree you are irritated, annoyed and angered.

Ok, you've made it this far, so I think you're entitled to one paragraph approaching sincerity. I'm looking for a woman (or nearest mechanical approximation) with all of the following in her vocabulary (memory banks): social justice, feminism, atheism, fitness (firmware updates) etc. Similar interests are nice, but not necessary. If we have similar outlooks on life, then I'm sure we'll have lots of nerd-fare to exchange (transfer). And that's exciting (effective)! Also, there is special reserved seating in Hell for anyone who fits the description above, looks good in a black leather jacket (or nearest ethical approximation), and does not message me. Just, you know...fair warning.
