Ok Cupid worked for me. Ok half assed endorsement but figured I'd make my update quick - down time at work and checked my email and wound up on the site. Living in Redmond (heart of the beast oh well) and madly in love with a sweet, wonderful, goofy, brilliant woman.

-- old summary --

Lets be honest, I like honesty, it doesn't get you much in this world but I like it. I'm looking for love in all the wrong places, since there aren't any right ones, and honestly I don't hold out much hope of finding it. Yet the avenue not tried, opportunity loss, mathematical equations strictly proving 1 in 1,000,000,000 is still greater than 0, and all that.

What I'm looking for, a friend, a partner or companion in artistic crime, and a lover. I value the creative spark greatly in all it's forms; painter, sculptor, modeler, writer, musician, composer, crafter of idea and image, be it in form, pixel, or mind. I hold that a profession is what you do, an art is a vital part of who you are. If you get where I'm coming from with that, that's a big step towards a match right there.

What I'm looking for in an ideal world, a loving geeky artistic gamer girl who can handle some one who's at times proudly proclaimed to be affection incarnate. In the real world I'm still figuring out what items on that list are negotiable. (Said the above to some one just a bit ago and thought it was good enough to add here.)

My arts are those of digital painting, 3D modeling, and writing. I seek a companion, a woman of similar interests, if different skills and passions. One that I might inspire, and be inspired by, that we might compliment and improve each-other in life, love, and art. I must admit a desire for collaboration, but in the end I seek only mutual inspiration, and genuine closeness and love. Too forward, too honest, probably but true none the less, I may be a lover of games, but I have no great patience for 'games.'

I'm a rambler, a thinker, a day dreamer, a romantic, a creature of passion, bursts of energy, but more often than not very laid back. I can be intolerably mature, and hopelessly immature, remember things far to well, forget them all to easily, be tactful to a fault, and thoughtlessly honest. I can go on to no end, have a tendency to want to finish a thought, and far from wanting some one to just listen to me do it, want some one who will return it in kind. I like a good, even heated argument, but detest people getting to emotionally wrapped up in it.

I adore contradictions, which is all fine and good because I swear some times I'm a walking one. Do I sound interesting, boring, too weird, too normal? It's all up to you. I have a (bad?) tendency to be an open book, because pretenses are too much work. Sorry we all have to have our lazy side.

The nick is a long story...well ok it's a very short and boring really but where is the fun in that.

I take everything in life with a few grains of salt, and about as seriously as humorously, joking tendencies aside.

I am loving, artistic, and contrary

Making art for DS and now PSP games.

Photoshop, 3D, rambling, UI Design, figuring people out just enough to get my self into more trouble, and daydreaming about stories.

in real life: that I like to help, and I'm a bit odd but likable

online: that I can't spell my way out of a paper bag, and I'm a bit odd but likable

books)sci-fi and fantasy, nothing so specific as to list except maybe the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

if it's a deal breaker either way I think Harry Potter is good reading, but not the best thing ever ;P

movies)sci-fi, fantasy (rare as they are, rarer still good), romantic comedies, pretty much anything that isn't horror, gore, or people behaving with so little social clue it makes you wish they were subjected to horror and gore, again nothing special to list

music)soft-rock, love songs, and broad ranging eclectic tastes
I like my quiet music loud (some times), and my loud music quiet (usually)

foods)pizza, fast food...I did say I was honest right?

games)Particularly fond of RPGs (console, MMO etc,) am amonst the throngs of WoW addicts presently, Escape Velocity may be a bit aging, but it's been oddly significant in my life, props if you know what it is

In order: art, friends, love, stories, the undo command (curse life for not having one,) pizza

Stories that beg to be written.

The reconciliation of the improbable but true with the unprovable but logical.

That the deserving of most human beings to be loved extends beyond the general and to the romantic. Yet this makes it no easier to form this kind of love.

Why it seems every intelligent witty wonderful woman has been hurt deeply by a minimum of one miserable excuse for dragon excrement that makes me ashamed of my gender.

Why loneliness is an epidemic threatening to destroy the nobler souls of our society.

Whether humans are a failure or a success at creating something balanced between the apes and the angels.

If having a greed for giving makes sense.

Killing shit in WoW with my girlfriend.

I'm vastly too affectionate for my own good.

I also think some people quibble to much over the definition of private on this section, the point isn't to reveal something that actually is private, it's more to see where you draw the line of private and public. Oh dear, I've just over analyzed over analyzing the private thing field!
