I am laughing, curious, and nomadic.
My Self-Summary
I moved back to Seattle from Chicago and wanted to branch out from
the awesome friends I've made already. My goal the last year has
been to see as much of Seattle and the surrounding areas as I can.
When I find a spare minute, I love to hop in the car and see where
I end up. Recent impromptu trips have included Westport, along the
Skykomish river and 101 around the Olympics.
Other recent adventures have included taking a two month long
glassblowing
class this summer, a long
roadtrip through the American West (ID,
MT, WY) and made the dive into buying my first digital
SLR.
I'm a total sucker for magic tricks, cheesy
puns and
tide pools. My degree's in
theatre and
film, and I'm always
up for seeing a show. For those who use it as a gauge, Myers-Briggs
categorizes me as an ENTJ.
Now in Polish

What I’m doing with my life
There's no grand plan yet! I'm enjoying seeing where the winds take
me. In my free time I'm big on seeing as much as I can, hanging out
with friends and generally keeping things low-key. I've made great
friends here, but nobody who really makes my heart flutter.
Professionally, I work for a social media software startup- I love
the challenge of staying sane in a startup and getting to (being
forced to?) learn about all the craziness that's out there on the
internet.
I’m really good at
I'm good at keeping houseplants alive, making banana bread and
giving common sense advice.
I'm really bad at remembering birthdays, keeping my opinion to
myself and making pancakes.
The first things people usually notice about me
I have no idea. Apparently it's that they think I'm trustworthy
and/or their confidant, as people like to divulge deep dark secrets
within hours of meeting me. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it makes
me uncomfortable, mostly I'll just listen and take it in stride.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I'm better at choosing authors-
Colin Thubron sucks me into his
world,
David
Sedaris makes me laugh out loud,
Douglas Adams creates brilliant
worlds and Walter
Moers reminds me of the imagination I had
as a kid. I will say, I just finished
Ender's Game and loved it, even
though it was profoundly disturbing.
I'm a movie addict and I've had a
Netflix account since 2004. Anything but
horror/gore and we're good- I'll give most movies a chance, no
matter how bad or how much hype they get. My Netflix queue swings
from Pixar to documentaries, from action thrillers to
comedies.
My last.fm (http://www.last.fm/user/ihatejazzhands) is usually
pretty up to date, so feel free to judge my (lack of) cool kid
cred. Recent favorites have included:
Owl City,
Al Green,
Blue Scholars,
Ani DiFranco,
Sigur Ros,
Brother Ali,
Iron & Wine and
Ray
LaMontagne.
Now in Polish
Slucham Kaliber 44, Fisz, Golec uOrkiestra i Paktofonika.
The six things I could never do without
In no particular order, substituting "nouns" for "things", and
ignoring all the basic survival requirements:
-
Wikipedia
-Sex and
affection
-
Winter
weather
-Awkward moments
-Naps
-Tide pool exploration
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Similarities between origin myths and folk tales worldwide. I think
there's something connective about the common themes in folk tales
that could give insight into the things that are unique to the
human experience.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have to have my feet uncovered while I sleep and I secretly love
fake tv wrestling.
You should message me if
You think we have something in common, or you just want to tell me
a story/make me laugh.
If you're local I'm probably going to push to meet in-person early
because I'm not looking for an email buddy; pick something you
enjoy and we'll go explore.
I have a weakness for big hands, laugh wrinkles, interesting scars
and scruffy facial hair, so extra points if you have any of
those.
(As a general note on romantic relationships with me, if you're
already married/in a committed relationship/poly, we're probably
not going to work out. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just picky
about sharing so you'll have to stay in the friend zone.)
