I am not the most beautiful person you'll ever meet. I am both good at meeting people and ridiculously awkward. I wish that people came to me more often when they wanted to talk about stuff, but I also don't always know how best to respond to other peoples' problems. I am a very tactile person but I rarely get the physical contact I crave. I'm extremely insecure about much of my physical appearance but am learning to take compliments, even if I'm not yet gracious about it. I am a total physical klutz, except when I'm dancing, which I hardly do at all these days. I can be very immature, but rest assured, I am probably yelling at myself for it immediately afterwards. I find grammar amusing, and am a stickler about punctuation as well, but still need to be corrected on occasion by my even more anal friends. I envy people more accomplished than I am, and yet have little true ambition to succeed since I feel like I cannot.

That's a start, at least.

I am tactile, ready for a nap, and semicolon

(Yes, I know they got rid of the adjectives, but I don't care. I like mine.)

Finally learning to enjoy it.

Finding reasons that if I am good at something, it has very little to do with me.

Purple hair.

I tend to enjoy fantasy books, sci-fi tv and movies, a large variety of music that includes classical, musical theatre, and glam rock, and most food that doesn't have mushrooms or too much spice in it. Honestly, though, I'm just too lazy to list it all.

Music, books, the smell of bread, physical comfort, interesting conversation, time to myself.

Where I'd like to live someday. Here's a hint - it's across the pond from where I live now. Here's another hint - I think I'll be an excellent ex-pat.

On my computer, watching or playing things.

I keep pictures on my computer of my "list" of celebrities for when I need to be cheered up by pretty. Also, I read fanfic on occasion. Sometimes more frequently than that.

You're at least a little bit geeky; preferably, more than a little bit. I also do not recommend that you message me unless you are also a feminist, and believe that more sensitivity to others' needs, views, and feelings, rather than less, is needed in our culture. Please don't message me to ask what feminism means in this day and age - I am not your encyclopedia. The internet is there for that.

Finally, I tend to be drawn to relationship people; this is unfortunate (for me) because I am not one. However, if you're normally a relationship person but aren't currently looking for a relationship, have read this far and, for some bizarre reason, want to message me, by all means go for it. I have almost never met anyone from OkCupid in real life but am trying to keep an open mind about it.

Also, I am more than a little bit of a sucker for British accents. And musicians - you're well on your way if you can play a mean jazz lick.
