I am atheistic, genetically male, come across as straight but am quite pansexual as well as polyamorous, alternative, artistic, book-loving and something of an armchair anthropologist. ENTJ, for the record.

Sadonna is my beautiful lady friend and partner of five years! I'm also quite happy to be seeing UncannyVallyGrl on a serious, long-term basis. Sorry, kids - my dance card's full, but I'm always looking for friends and hangout buddies (and maybe someone up for some snogging/heavy petting...but you gotta be pretty rad).

I have roamed the country and found satisfaction in exploring the liquidity of gender, personal identity and world view. That said, I'm quite happy with who and what I am and am now ready to explore how other people fit in to that.

I find myself mostly attracted to feminine types (girls, girl-like boys, tomboyish girls, other similar things), but have had enjoyable relationships and hookups with men, women and the many other points on the gender scale.

I love to draw, write, read, watch films, cause mayhem, watch mayhem and giggle at adults with imaginary friends. I'm active with a non-profit first amendment rights organization and do what I can to stand up for human rights. I have a powerful compulsion to call "bullshit!" when people try to talk about their creepy imaginary friend Jesus like he actually exists. No gods, no masters and no shitty Ayn Rand novels, please.

I am a very emotionally stable person - I learned the hard way that unless you can enjoy your own company, you'll never be able to contribute in a completely healthy way to any other relationships. I'm also emotionally dynamic, meaning it's pretty much impossible for me to be indifferent about anything.

I grew up in the South, was almost drowned by Religion, thankfully got better and started roving the country while exploring my inner self. I eventually landed here and pretty much found no reason to leave. This is a pretty cool town once you get past the people who are so open-minded their brains have fallen out.

I am not a tree hugger, vegan, vegetarian, green party member or sponge mold rights activist. Many of my friends are some/all/none of those and I'm quite cool with it. However, if you think I should feel bad for eating meat or buying a coke, then I reserve the right to pick on you using traditional pejoratives (lily liver!). I would like to believe that I bring a healthy blend of outlooks with me; I am pro choice, pro gay marriage (I want the term "gay marriage" to be replaced with "marriage," plzkthx - anyone who loves anyone else should be able to be married, not mocked and insulted by the vestiges of idiotic religiously informed law), pro Humanism, pro stem cell research, pro gun, anti theist, anti fascist, anti racist, anti monoculture.

Capitalism can work; so can socialism; so can a blend of the two. I think that every person has a right to own a gun but that every gun owner's license should require 80 hours of training, testing and a thorough background check. Just because someone doesn't have a criminal record doesn't mean they're not a danger/psychopath/dog-brained-person. While we're at it, let's screen people who want to have kids with the same criteria.

I love porn. Not real porn, really, cuz that has stuff like hooker heels and arm bruises and bad makeup and scars and bits of toilet paper stuck to it. No, I love cartoon porn. Western or hentai, I think it's lovely. I greatly enjoy the soft focus of it and very often find myself engaged in text-based role playing with my friends, porny and otherwise. I've helped run a few non-porny text-based games (MUSHes for those of you in the know) and have been playing them for nearly nine years. I adore the opportunities you find for self-exploration and the mutability of will in such environments and suggest that anyone who honors their spell checker and is curious about, well, anything should try it out! I said all this so that if we hook up, you can't later be all surprised and like, "ZAWMG WTF IS TIHS ON UR COMPUTER U PREVERT!1!!!eleven"

I love to watch memes and ideas spread, compete and evolve. The internet is an incredible place and an amazing microcosm in which the currency is words and the pacts are thoughts. Sure, most of it is pablum and juvenile things, but the possibilities still amaze me so thoroughly. There are now free 3D reality simulators in which all content is made by the users. Walls, trees, shoes, cars, dongs, cats, apartment complexes, cities, planets, everything! What an incredible time we live in, when people's internal worlds can be expressed so vividly, projected and shared. In some ways, I think projects like this do more to connect the human consciousness than any silly drug or chant could afford. Huzzah, technology!

I could believe that with enough money, time and boredom I'd probably explore transhumanism. My only concern would be that, as with many who claim the title, I would get distracted with the experiences and lose sight of the goal. The same could be said for the religious, the drug-addled and the adrenaline addicted, yeah?

I can enjoy the outdoors, but I'm not an avid adventurer in the wild. I wanted to be an entomologist as a child, and love insects, nature and all that jazz, but I get grumpy in the cold and it's almost always cold or full of mosquitoes in /real/ nature. Planet Earth and Blue Planet fill me with enough wonder as it is. I can enjoy all that without getting any more envenomations than I've already had (thanks, Texas, for all your awesome killer bees, rattlesnakes, black widows, brown recluses and wasps).

I'm a technophile, though too poor to often support my habit. I am very happy to collaborate or help with any projects and would be especially happy to meet people with artistic inclinations, especially good writers (no, your Kirk/Potter slash does not count), painters and gadgeteers. I have a special spot in my heart for arcade games, too, and thirst for the golden age of tokens and flashing lights. I also recently bought a guitar, so if you're up for talking about that with a *total music newbie*, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Working some days, hanging some days, seeing if I'm still a tabletop gamer, tending my awesome bunny wife's every need (sorry, humans will never be cuter than rabbits), practicing guitar occasionally, writing or drawing, looking for a cuddle/makeout partner or two.

Writing, conversing, providing sound advice, internet role playing, bunny rabbit ownership.

Height, eyes, tattoos (biggun on my left arm), various and often loud laughs.

Internet access, a computer with a telnet client and messenger app (Pidgin ftw!), books, writing/drawing utensil, sketchpad, my fellow nerds!

Working slowly to become a professional author and/or artist. Activism for the separation of church and state, supporting local artists and musicians.

"i just watched Eraserhead what is this i dont even"

Best sentence I've ever read in my life: "Just squeeze a stumpy orange dick and watch fear come yodeling towards you in a pair of fat dancing ghost pants."

Sadonna said, "Monkeys can drink beer if they want to. I bet monkeys would be angry drunks."

UncannyVallyGrl said, "Is that an atheist's worst nightmare in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Dane Cook and Jeff Dunham should be forced to fuck each other till they both die.

If you like me but wouldn't date me because I'm busy/poly/intimidating, please say hello to my friend rantan.

Trying to squeeze in some time for my RL friends or sneaking kisses from one of my sweet girls.

That while I'm completely comfortable internet role-playing as a sixteen year old Jewish mystic who can make her blood into lighting, I find it totally unacceptable for someone to desire being a catgirl.

You want to meet a stable, intelligent, articulate and growing person with a lot of life experience (who didn't wait till their 40th birthday to start gaining it).

Touch 10-sided dice, but judiciously so.

Know what a MUSH is.

Understand that just because vampire story fans are often creepy, it doesn't mean that vampire stories can't still be good.

Have been put on edge out by a well written story (I'm looking at you, Frankenstein!).

Identified more closely with the antagonist.

Read the King James Bible cover to cover, in page order (I tip my hat!); survived the it with your sanity intact (a Lovecraftian challenge in itself).

Know that laughing at everything can mean enjoying life, not cynicism.

Can tolerate use of the word "fat" (usually as a positive).

Call out the use of racist or sexist slurs by anyone you're sure that, if it came down to it, you could sock in the mouth, even if it meant you'd get your ass beat. Principles over safety!

Like bookworms. :3
