Being asked to summarize myself makes my skin crawl, not because I am ineffable but because I'm shit at it. Instead, have some random facts. My interests include nerdy quiet time activities like crossword puzzles and the interweb. I am big on social justice and activism and have a very specific politics that I will try to explain to you but probably fail to capture.

Most of my demographic information can't really be captured by OkCupid's options so here's a corrective. I am queer, not bisexual, and I am into folks of all genders. Also I'm genderqueer, and don't really identify with any of the male/female man/woman stuff. Basically I will fuck up your gold star.

Putting more of my energy than is probably healthy into my job.

Contradicting myself. Living inside my own head. Vegan baking, and I'm not too shabby at food in general.

This question was a lot easier to answer when I had a hot pink mohawk.

I need basic human survival things and a bit of stability, but beyond that there isn't much I could never do without. Admittedly a computer with a decent internet connection (which I suppose entails a lot of other creature comforts) would be rather difficult to give up.

Doing something mindless to recover from the week, which typically entails fueling my WoW addiction.

You feel like it. You are comfortable with silence. You have awesome politics. You find my complete lack of charm charming.

I visited your profile and didn't message you because I am shy but you picked up my thought waves asking you to do it.
