I am intelligent, optimistic, and imaginative.

My Self-Summary

I like roleplaying games, movies, and square dancing, among many other activities. I think Burning Man and WorldCon are two of the best events ever. I like a lot of different kinds of music, from Mozart to Madonna,and from country western to rap, and am particularly enchanted by tuned wind chimes, carillon choirs, and barbershop harmony. I'm Libertarian and agnostic; apatheist, really. I tend to think the best of people, and I can hold a grudge for about fifteen minutes.

I'm polyamorous but not a swinger; I'm not in any primary relationship but would like to find one -- I'd like to be first on someone's list and vice-versa for a change, though I realize that chemistry doesn't grow on trees and don't have to jump in the deep end (how's that for a mixed metaphor?).

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a Roving Do-Gooder. Retired on disability -- stable, ambulatory MS (multiple sclerosis); reasonable disability payments from Sun Microsystems so I'm not destitute; helping wherever I can.

I’m really good at

Spelling and the English language in general -- its musical qualities as well as its structure and usage. Please let me proofread for you; the spell checker hasn't been written that does better, and it helps me feel useful (see "Roving Do-Gooder" above). QA (quality assurance) -- it used to be a job; now it's an avocation -- it always was, I guess. Interrupt me if I start trying to fix something that's not broken enough to bother. Singing, or so some people tell me (at least when I'm in voice); I know an impressive number of song lyrics -- a huge library with no card catalog. Thinking of innovative solutions to problems.

The first things people usually notice about me

Before I open my mouth? Standard stuff -- gender, race, height, dress (casual/comfortable), hair (not as long as fashionable, and often disheveled). As soon as I start talking, I'm told it takes about three sentences to notice friendly, intelligent, outgoing, and opinionated (it may take a few more to suss out that I'm not wed to most of my opinions and am actually quite open-minded). Oh, and I give really good hug.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Just a few of each, randomly selected: Favorite books (A): A Wrinkle In Time, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress. Favorite movies (B): Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, 1776, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Favorite music (C): Enya, Madonna, and Kool Moe Dee. Favorite foods (D): pizza, cheesecake, and oatmeal with brown sugar. Many more of each, and I love to try new things.

The six things I could never do without

Besides food, clothing, shelter, air. water, and light: physical things -- my MacBook Pro, ComCast broadband Internet, my Camry wagon, my Treo 650 (I may want an Android soon), Netflix, and my Garmin Nuvo 660 GPS; non-physical things -- love, laughter, affection, friendship, compassion, and the ability to challenge arbitrarily imposed limits.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

the future. Relationships and communication. How I can make or fix things. Email -- it takes me a long time to write, not just because I type slowly, but because I rewrite and rewrite, doing my best to eliminate sources of misunderstanding/ambiguity that crop up when handicapped by lack of sensory feedback. I fight perfectionism -- stop me before I tweak again!

On a typical Friday night I am

at a party, at a movie, or at home relaxing with my laptop or a video, alone or with a friend. If I'm alone and someone calls or writes with a better offer -- I can get downright spontaneous. Contact me!

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Even though MS is a real pain, I'm sometimes glad of the excuse not to push myself harder (sometimes I do anyway). And the disabled placard is handy for parking and not having to stand in line at the amusement park.

You should message me if

you still want to get to know me better after seeing my home page (kennita dot com) -- it needs updating, but it's basically right.
