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.
