My self-summary
I'm a geek, a musician and give a shit about not being self destructive. Apparently that's a rare combination? I don't get it.

The whole online dating thing is weird to me. I guess the dating scene is in general. The girls I've dated in the past are people I've met through school, work, mutual friends, etc. Things naturally came out of that or they didn't. With singles bars or this site it seems like there's an expectation from the beginning that two people might want to fuck. Which I think leads to a lot of creepiness, clinginess and general badness.

So: I'm looking for people that I have a connection to, that I can be friends with. Anything else that happens or doesn't, happens or doesn't.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm going to a few prep classes before grad school, working on writing fiction, playing/writing music, and running all the time so I can eat all the food.
I’m really good at
being a dork, daydreaming, procrastination, creating things, self deprecation.
The first things people usually notice about me
is that they think they've met me before. I don't know what that's about.

Music
Art
My form of mild insanity
People who aren't afraid to be weird
Water
Air
I spend a lot of time thinking about
the stories I want to write, the things I want to create, the things on that previous list. Well, not air. I don't really think about air.
