My self-summary Propose an edit

I am in the middle of a master's mark mission in music. I like theory, thrifting, and thoroughly alliterating all allegories.

I'm not a bar-goer all that much, though a quiet place where there are "regulars" and sophisticated lighting would be ideal to spend my evenings. Cafe Soriah would be perfect if it weren't so full of tempting, expensive foods. I dance argentine tango, which is just about the sexiest thing a person can do in public without incurring/earning a citation. I also like coffee shops because they give you coffee.

I am a bisexual female, and when I say bisexual, I mean I am open to romantic relationships with both sexes. I'm not bisexual in the "I only make out with girls at parties" way, nor am I bisexual in the "I want to be able to see girls while I'm with a boyfriend" way.

I don't think about religion much. It's not that I don't have any, I just choose not to organize it. I feel something greater than myself in everything I see, but to attempt to describe it would alter it significantly, so I live with the comfort that it's there, and go about my life.

I'm very passionate about everything I choose to do, which includes tango, school, and knitting. I am very stubborn when it comes to finishing things, like master's degrees or three-voice fugues, tasty as they may be.

By the way, I'm lacysleeves on ravelry. Anyone who knows what that is gets bonus points. :)

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Mastering the art of music theory. Then I'm going to doctor music theory to my tastes. Then I'm going to sit in a classroom and teach others how to do the same.

Perhaps, some day, I'll change the world using only my intellect and a teaspoon. That day is not today.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Well, the new IQ test on here says I'm 150 good at spatial IQ.

I'm also pretty good at tango, knowing practical things, early music performance practice, pronouncing languages I don't know how to speak, receiving backrubs, sewing things together, knitting mostly useless objects, reading journal articles for fun, and making cosmopolitans.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I have hair on my head. My hair is red. What more be said?

One of the last things people notice is my subtle and dry wit. It's usually given away by my alternating smiles and deadpan delivery. No, really. :-) Really.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

My voice, tango shoes, a medium-full pillow, the internet, a way to get my hair out of my face when I want it, and a good pair of scissors.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

I think about why my life has turned out the way it has, and why I don't have anyone to share it with.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Usually, I worry about being bored until I call a bunch of people, and then get called back by a whole bunch of them at once, only to find that I had forgotten about plans I had made already.

Sometimes, though, I just sleep.

My ideal would be snuggling alternated with a heated game of Scrabble.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I love the way that gasoline smells.

Also, I'm addicted to tango shoes.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You SHOULDN'T message me if sex is more important to you than love.

That being said, you should message me if I stalked you, if only to satisfy your curiosity. Why did I click on your name, you might be thinking? It might have been a whim. It might be because I think you're totally hot. Who knows.
