I'm a geek. I'm online 24/7. I spend a lot of time making computers do boring things, and a small amount of time making them to cool things. I play video games when I have time, with lots of Dance Dance Revolution.

I'm also a bit of a contradiction. I have a degree in Choreography and Dance, though you wouldn't know it to look at me. I read a lot, split evenly between scientific non-fiction like Dawkins and SciFi/Fantasy.

I love music, I've always got something playing. I always want to hear new things, mashups being my latest craze. It seems the word eclectic gets overused, so I'll use 'gallamaufry' to describe my music collection. I'm I'm not sure what mood I'm in I can change from VNV Nation to Ani DiFranco to The Orchestra of The Sun King to Yann Tiersen in 5 minutes.

I am also studying Energy Healing: Reiki and other forms of healing the body by working with the energies that compose it. The wonderful thing about being a healer (though I can barely call myself that, just now), is that every time I heal others, I heal myself. As ever, it returns thrice.

I am shy, jolly, and intelligent.

My 10 year plan includes having fun building websites for a few years until I have enough money to become a healer. I've been doing the web programming thing for 15 years. I'm I get a lot of satisfaction from it, and still do it in my free time. It's best summed up by this quote:

"The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination"
--Fred Brooks

JavaScript, cats, why I don't blog more, online communities, issues my friends need help with, food combinations likely to cause nausea (Red Bull and Baileys!), Chakras, sex, sex and more sex.

Dinner with friends, maybe a movie, or reading boingboing.net in bed with my sweetie. Yes, this rockstar life will kill me.

I polyamorous, that is, I can be in multiple long-term committed relationships at one time. I've been with my partner for the last 9 years, and I expect the next 90. Love is not finite, loving one more does not diminish my love for others.
