My Self-Summary
If you find me on QuickMatch, I'm jlis. Message me directly if you're interested,
I don't do QuickMatch.
Transplanted New Yorker in Seattle. Big on music, art, reading / writing (mostly non-fiction, especially history), photography; in all of these realms, I'm about equally likely to produce as to consume. Also serious about my career, but I try to keep it in balance, and usually succeed.
Single. Looking but not obsessed. Like to travel, but I'm in a bit of a hiatus on that at the moment.
Politically left.
Soltero. Mirando, pero no obsesionado. Me gusta viajar, pero de momento hago un poco de hiatus.
Politicamente a la izquierda.
Am nascut in New York; sunt acum la Seattle. Mi-e place muzica, arta, lectura / scrire (n cea mai mare parte - cum se spune in limba romana? - non-fiction, in special historie), fotografie; in toti, sunt atut de producator cum consumator. Serios de asemenea despre cariera mea, incerc de echilibrz entre cariera si viata, de usual cu reusita.
Singur. Cautand dar nu obsesionat. Mi-e place caletorie, dar sunt in hiatus de moment.
Politica: de stanga (dar stangul american este mai diferite de stangul roman).

In all diesen Bereichen, über die ich gleich zu produzieren als zu konsumieren. Auch ernst meiner Karriere, aber ich versuche, es im Gleichgewicht zu halten, und in der Regel gelingt.
Single. Ich besuche, aber nicht bin besessen. Mag zu reisen, aber ich bin ein bisschen eine Lücke auf, dass in diesem Moment.

What I’m doing with my life
Living in Seattle,
working in computers (software development
management),
doing a lot of life drawing), writing (mostly non-fiction: I'm a
big contributor to Wikipedia) and photography (ditto: Wikimedia Commons),
riding my bicycle,
eating a lot of sushi, and hanging out with my friends.
Now in Spanish
Vivo en Seattle,
trabajo en la informatica (gestion de desarollo de
software). Hago dibujos de la natura),
escribo (por gran
parte no ficcion: soy gran contribuyente a la Wikipedia) y tomo muchos
fotos (de manera
similar: Wikimedia Commons), ando en
bicicleta, como
mucho sushi, y paso
el tiempo con mis amigos.
I’m really good at
Whole
systems thinking, most things intellectual, many things artistic. I write very well (and I'm a
damn good editor).
I'm not a bad guitarist, either.
The first things people usually notice about me
Probably that I'm pretty intense.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: ''Gravity's Rainbow'' by
Thomas
Pynchon, ''Shame'' by Salman Rushdie, ''Lolita'' by Vladimir Nabokov, ''The
Gift'' by Lewis
Hyde, and ''Jazz'' by Toni Morrison
Movies: ''Aguirre, Wrath of God'' (Werner Herzog), ''Children of Paradise'' (Marcel Carné), ''The General'' (Buster Keaton), The ''Saragossa Manuscript'' (Wojciech Has)
Music: Elvis Costello, Kurt Weill, Charles Mingus, techno etc. for dancing.
Food: sushi, more sushi, and a lot of food from around the Mediterranean

The six things I could never do without
Air, water, some food, a roof over my head? Maybe books come before that roof. Friends
and music are right
in there, too. And, unfortunately, my C-PAP (I'm afraid I have to
sleep hooked up to a machine).
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Y'know, I spend a lot of time thinking, but I don't spend a lot of
time keeping track of what it is that I've been thinking about.
On a typical Friday night I am
Either out on the town (music? theater? a movie? art opening?) or at home writing:
it's about 50-50.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm not sure this is a "most private thing" but, weirdly (to my own
thinking) OkCupid types me as RGSM. Yeah, sure, I'm very open (and
honest) about sexuality, and I've had my share of casual
relationships, but I've also had many, many strong friendships
(some erotic, some not); the couple of times I've really been in
love have been the best periods of my life; and anyone I'm more
than halfway serious about had better be damn smart (not exactly a
playboy characteristic). Brains over looks, pretty much any time it
comes down to a choice between the two. Of course, both together is
best.
I think true love is wonderful, but I don't think it can be manufactured, and I don't believe in sitting on the shelf waiting for it. I think a lot of people fuck up their lives trying to create a simulacrum of romantic love.

You should message me if
You want to get to know me well enough to learn the private things
I don't write about on the Internet. Or if you just share my taste
in movies, books, and music.
