I'm a self-taught philosopher, computer programer & artist. I'm humorous, imaginative, and I don't fit the mold. I'm shy at first, but friendly. People find me intelligent, well read, and intellectual. I sometimes have a student I am tutoring in programming.

I am seeking emotional, sexual, and intellectual companionship, an independent/imaginative thinker with her own passions, interests, and ambitions, someone who can share a love for music or arts or literature.

I want to be listened to, understood, accepted, and loved, as I strive to listen to, understand, accept, and love others.

My passions include computer programming, classical music, and art (including photography). My hobbies include reading science fiction and playing piano.

I usually have a programming project I'm working on. My largest / longest-term project is writing an interactive fiction game/simulation (text adventure) in the Haskell programming langugage, applying a number of techniques from Artificial Intelligence.

My straight-forwardness, and humor.

OKCupid thinks I'm somehow less sexually driven, but I'm as sex crazed as anybody -- I'm just not willing to answer too many of those intimate sexual questions publicly. I'm far more willing to discuss sex in person, at least if I think you're genuinely (not pruriently) interested.

You've got any questions, or you'd like to meet an interesting person and see if we hit it off, as friends or better.
