I'm a poly, kinky bi guy who's a science fiction fan and an avid cyclist - so much so that I'll be off the grid from April 11th through May 5th. I love music with great lyrics and can talk about it for hours. I also like word games, both in the "Scrabble" and "Boggle" sense of the word and in the "making cheap puns" cents of the word.

BTW, the site says that I'm "Available" because I'm seeing (several) someones but am also interested in dating. I *don't* have a committed life partner Just so that's clear.

I am quirky, insightful, and independent

Working way too many hours as a computer geek consultnt and seeking enlightenment through careful attention to the cycles of my life (and my bicycle wheels).

Making music compilations, thinking about leftist political theory, living simply, massage, consensual play.

I've got dreadlocks and I wear two differently-colored shoes.

NOTE: if I've read, seen, or listened to almost everything by someone (and am willing to admit it :-) then I've marked them as one of my interests.

d) FOODS!

I'm a vegetarian (but not a picky eater and you don't *have* to be one yourself). I especially like carbs!

Cycling, good friends, making the world a better place, music, alone time, and sex.

what Utopia would look like and how to get there. And how to make a world that works for everyone rather than just a few.

teaching, going out, renting a video, reading a book, killing time on the internet, listening to music, talking to friends on the phone... I don't *have* typical Friday nights :-).

I have over 15 stuffed animals and sleep with some of them (not in that way!). Personal favorites include Opus the Penguin and Max 2 the Clip-On Koala Bear, who lives on my bicycle's right seat stay (and has a velcro seat-belt since Max 1 left me in San Francisco as I bicycled down the coast to Tijuana in 2004).

you think it's a good idea. Or if you think it's a bad idea but want to do it anyway.
