I am funny, sarcastic, and intelligent.

My Self-Summary

I've spent a long time being sober and serious (and alliterative), and I'm learning to be less so. I'm cynical, skeptical, and not easily embarrassed. I'm kind of shy when I don't know people, but I love being the center of attention. I feel like this is the point in the profile that I'm supposed to toss in some small, unexpected fact to make it clear that I don't take this too seriously, so, here goes: I've never had a cavity, but that isn't because I'm fanatically devoted to oral hygiene. I'm just lucky.
Now in Welsh
Nawr te, dw i ddim yn credu bod lot o bobl ar OkCupid yn gallu darllen Cymraeg, ond maen nhw'n eisiau i mi ysgrifennu rhywbeth yma. Wel, man a man. Rw i'n gallu siarad Cymraeg achos i mi gael gradd ol-raddedig mewn astudiaethau Celtaidd, a Chymraeg oedd fy arbennigrwydd. Roeddwn i'n mynd i ysgrifennu traethawd ar Saunders Lewis, ond penderfynais i taw na hoffais i'r bywyd academaidd. Rw i'n ddeallus a digrif, ac rw i'n chwilio am rhwyun sy'n mwynhau chwerthin. Dw i ddim yn gwrando ar gerdd Celtaidd, ond rw i'n hoffi nofelau Cymraeg. Dw i ddim yn siwr os oes unrhywbeth arall amdana i sy'n pobl yn mynd i ffindio'n ddiddorol achos i mi ddweud popeth yn y rhan Saesneg. Os rwyt ti eisiau cwrdd a rhywun sy'n caru dysgu (ieithoedd yn arbennig), ysgrifennu neges i mi.

What I’m doing with my life

Um, living it? This one is kind of an odd category. I feel like people who have found a purpose for their lives are supposed to put that here, and those who are searching for that purpose are supposed to say so. For people who don't fit into either of those categories, the question seems to encourage a happy-go-lucky, good-time kind of attitude. To be honest, I think it says a lot about me that I've avoided answering this question completely by analyzing what I think its purpose is.

But, if you want a boring answer, here goes: I've been a university administrator for the past 8 years; I like to read British fiction, science books, and books about baseball; and I love hanging out at bars with my friends.

I’m really good at

spelling. I guess there are a few other things I'm good at--word games, board games, listening, public speaking. I'm also good at most intellectual pursuits. I'm really good at learning languages, including learning two of them well enough that native speakers couldn't tell I'm American.

The first things people usually notice about me

One of the first things that people notice about me is my eyes, because they're an unusual shade of blue. Personality-wise, people notice very quickly that I have a sarcastic sense of humor and I know how to put them at ease with it.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Authors: Anthony Burgess, J.R.R. Tolkien, Bill James, Bill Bryson, Dorothy Sayers, Stephen Fry, Alan Moore.

Movies: Vertigo, The Blues Brothers, Rope, Fargo, Star Wars, Down With Love, Harvey.

Music: Bob Dylan, Kirsty MacColl, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Sam Cooke, Keb' Mo'.

Food: Anything without potatoes or pickles.

The six things I could never do without

There aren't six specific things that I can't live without, but three things that pop to mind are Cheerios, my cats, and sex.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

My mind wanders and I think about a lot of different things. When I sleep, I have boring dreams, so I seem to make up for that when I'm awake by trying to make everyone's day a little more surreal. (Bonus points if you know the source of that one.)

On a typical Friday night I am

Generally doing one of three things: hanging out at a bar with friends, working out at the gym, or watching a movie. On rare occasions, I knit. That's kind of hard to do at home because the cats are always trying to "help."

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm a huge fan of "Weird Al" Yankovic.

You should message me if

You want my body and you think I'm sexy; come on, Sugar, let me know! Wait, that's Rod Stewart. OK, you should message me if anything I've said is interesting and you want to have a good conversation, a good time, or both.

You should definitely message me if you know the significance of the numbers in my username. (Sigh. I'm such a nerd.)
