Your Notes

Edit your notes

I am weird, geeky, and obsessive.

My Self-Summary

I am an incredibly boring & uninteresting scifi reading, photograph taking, RPG gaming, polyamourous, odd car obsessing, steampunk costume making, punning, bicycle rebuilding, LEGO building, autocross racing, diner hunting, weirdo with a penchant for odd turns of brain.

I exist online in website, livejournal and flickr forms.

To avoid any confusion or surprises, I am polyamorous and happily involved with Auntiemame67 on a pretty serious basis. She is not only aware of this profile, but sitting next to me while I write it. So being at least friendly/polite with her would be a requirement for getting involved with me.

What I’m doing with my life

I sold out to a desk job for less stress and better pay, but corporate america lied to me and gave me lots of stress and not much better pay. And now my job is going off to India in July to find itself and leaving me behind. So I am being thrust grudgingly back into job hunting. India and my job are having relationship issues that mean I'm still employed through the end of the year.

On my own time I jump randomly between restoring my '62 Mercury Comet "emily", autocrossing in a very improbable vehicle, hunting down diners & ghost signs, rebuilding (and hopefully soon camping in) my vintage aluminum trailer, playing with Legos, etc.


I'm stuck somewhere between enjoying being a grownup, and still feeling like a kid who can now buy the coolest toys ever. This causes situations like having a bedroom with nice old furniture, and a huge collection of LEGOs in the corner.



Just recently I've fully realized that the combination of a desk job and turning 30 was doing nothing good for my health. So I'm trying to at least be more aware of how badly I'm eating, and am going to the gym a few times a week.

I’m really good at

I'm great at coming up with insane ideas, but mediocre on the follow through. Mostly due to a tendency to be distracted by another bright shiny idea.

The first things people usually notice about me

For years it was probably a tossup between the saying on my t-shirt or the 2ft+ braided rattail down my back.

Lately my day-to-day wardrobe has gotten more boring due to and office job, while my fun wardrobe has gotten more interesting due to my increased interest in steampunk.

I have often been accused of being weird or having a bizarre sense of humor, and I am inclined to agree.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: I love SF including Spider Robinson, Lois McMaster Bujold, Robert Heinlein, Neal Gaiman Terry Pratchett, Neal Stephenson, and William Gibson. I also love Robert B Parker's Spenser novels, and John MacDonald. I am trying to find the missing books to complete my collection of Tom Swift Jr & Rick Brant boy's adventure books from the 50's.

Movies: I love bad movies, the cheesier the better. As such I'm a huge MST3K fan. I also have a Car Chase Movie Night at my place every other Wednesday where we hang out and watch vaguely car-related movies, this is often combined with snarky comments and takeout.

Music: My tastes vary from Ani Difranco to Johnathan Coulton, Great Big Sea to Voltaire, Jimmy Buffett to Moxie Fruvous. I also have a disturbing fondness for really wrong covers, if you spend enough time around me you'll end up hearing lounge versions of punk songs, punk versions of Celine Dion, or an Ani Difranco-Jackie Chan duet.

Food: Sadly spicy food and I don't get along at all. I do love Thai, Chinese, and Sushi, but nothing beats breakfast served all day at a real diner.

On a typical Friday night I am

Generally girlfriend is over here or I am over there. Friday is often a combination of relaxing from the week and packing/planning for the weekend. We're not so good at the just doing nothing.

On the 2nd Friday of the month I'm usually at the Western MA Poly group diner meetup(rte9 Diner in Hadley, 7pm, come hang out!).

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm really shy, and try to hide it by being as outgoing as possible.

I can be rather neurotic sometimes, it's a hobby of mine.



If I've shown up on your stalkers list and not messaged you it is because I am no good at making the first move on here. But if you write me I promise to write back.

You should message me if

What you read interested you, and you live within about 100 miles of me and/or in the Boston metro area (as I like visiting up there). The same sadly can not be said of the NYC metro area.

I'm looking for some combination of: significant others, sweeties, um-friends, snuggle partners, friends, partners-in-crime, or just more people to be social with in the area.

Also, I'm polyamorous and am not interested in being in a monogamous relationship. No, this doesn't mean I want you to sleep with my girlfriend. :)
