I am quirky, cuddly, and communicative.
My Self-Summary
***DISCLAIMER: I found a match already, so please only contact me
for friendship or networking***
A musician of the voice, composing melodies and lyrical metaphors,
a performer of the stage, in all variations.
When it comes to romance, I live by this quote:
"My love is unconditional, my company is not."
Who I'd like to meet:
Someone honest, with themselves, with me. Someone who hugs...REALLY
hugs, not just a whimpy "I'm afraid to let anyone in my personal
space" kind of hug, a full hug-you-to-your core kind of hug.
Someone who is ready to talk and equally ready to listen. Someone
who likes themselves. Someone who likes me. Someone who can express
themselves creatively.
What I’m doing with my life
I like to be in several rock bands at once. Only my solo project is
active right now. You can find some of my music here:
1) A "cinematic electronic music" project called "Terran Spiral"
(http://terranspiral.com)
2) An improvisational jam band "Scaffolding" with an electric
cellist (http://www.myspace.com/scaffolded)
3) An alternative folk acoustic duo "A Thousand Young" that I
started when I was sixteen (http://akyoung.zeet.net)
4)my solo musical project "Polyestherogen"
(http://www.myspace.com/polyeg).
If this sounds like a lot of work, I assure you it's quite easy to
be a lazy rock star, and I am no exception.
My day job is a typical and boring customer service position with
the state, but I find ways of making it more interesting. For
instance, I teach a choir as one of the employee "wellness classes"
and it's the highlight of my week. If you ask me about it, I'll
show you the DVD. It's really quite adorable.
I’m really good at
1) Singing. And it took me a long time to admit this.
2) Breaking up with people, though I haven't done this in years.
I've been heartbroken enough to be a kind and considerate
heartbreaker. My rule of thumb is "Give it a week" when considering
whether to end a relationship.
3) Being tolerant and respectful of other beliefs while maintaining
my super-liberal-pansexual-commie-vegetarian beliefs. This is
actually very hard, because soap boxes are so easy to climb
upon.
4) Conversational marathons. I was blessed/cursed with the "gift of
gab." Thank goodness I know how to listen too!
The first things people usually notice about me
I seem outgoing. And I smile. Actually, some people think I'm too
serious and some people think I'm just silly. Most people agree
that I think too much. Also, I dress in a weird way, but I make it
work.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
My favorite authors are
Douglas Adams and
Terry Pratchett.
My favorite bands/artists are
Abney Park,
Tori Amos, and
They Might Be Giants.
My favorite food is
cheese, any kind. Which is the only
reason that I'm not
vegan.
My favorite genre of movies is the
romantic comedy, but I like
anything that's clever.
The six things I could never do without
1) Genuine Compliments (I like to give and receive them)
2) An eclectic wardrobe
3) Cheese
4) Hugs & Kisses
5) What little structure my life already has
I spend a lot of time thinking about
myself. I'm pretty narcissistic, and so when I imagine my wedding
day, I ask "Is it necessary to have a groom? Sure, it would be
nice, but there's no law against wearing a fluffy white gown and
throwing a fantastic party."
On a typical Friday night I am
I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that my answer
would be pathetically uninteresting. I do take the bus to Seattle
quite frequently, a habit that started when I was in a long
distance relationship. We broke up months ago, but I still love
Seattle.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm not an extrovert. I'm an
ambivert. I constantly have introverted
thoughts about my extroverted activities.
You should message me if
You keep in mind that I'm already in a monogamous
relationship.
Message me if you would like to start a rock band or a friendship.
And you like hugging. And you like talking.
You should NOT message me if you like drinking excessively, getting
high, blacking out, and/or collecting guns.
