My self-summary
Rules follow me. I can stay within them without feeling restricted.
This has led to the most excellently surreal of adventures.
We take too few breaths to worry about not causing an uproar...

I haven't been able to understand people who condemn those walking off the beaten path. Untold possibilities fail because too many either can't look past first impressions, important as they may (not) be, or strive to denounce differences instead of embracing and fostering our common human element.

Infinitely and unconventionally curious.
I think outside the box for its own sake + to quickly learn how to work inside the box.

I'm composed of words, dreams, and flames. Antiquity and tomorrow alike dwell within my realm. My spirit is indestructible and I would share its empathic warmth with you.

Liege to none and all, the shaman of blessings meant to heal those he has never met. Sans religion, a disciple of human potential, nurturing, and understanding.

Totally open to questions on how I think and live. If this isn't funny enough, you are entitled to a refund.
What I’m doing with my life
Learning major things about myself and the blue marble I find myself on, enough since college that it's not just assumed and enough to mention here.

Always wanted to create. Explains my chemistry degree, desire to write random whatnots, and entrepreneurial itch.

Teaching - independent lessons + part-time GRE tutoring. There's always something to freelance; the best stories come from unconventional sources of income.
The goal is full-time plus part-time to further more than one career at once, or a full-time substitute composed of tons of fun little gigs - this is the age for experimentation, after all.

Being over-aware. Not caring so much about my surroundings as long as I'm at peace with myself.

I've given casual pyrotechnics advice and may be interested in researching products I could use to found a new special-effects endeavor.

Wanting to dress in powdered wigs and full 17th/18th century regalia, followed by cruising around and blasting classical music. That's not weird at all.
I’m really good at
Unpredictable thought and philosophy. Thinking about efficiency - it's possible to relentlessly, hilariously, scientifically, and artistically optimize just about anything. Occasionally coming up with poetry that uses too many Greek or Latin words.

Demon hunting. Getting everything on the Costco shopping list in record time while the Mario Kart 64 'Starman' theme plays in my head. Being both visible and invisible in crowds.
The first things people usually notice about me
Audacious and/or tactful.
A goal of my style is to have a bit of everyday formality.

Often moving way too fast or unpredictably for my surroundings.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Reggae, (smooth) jazz, disco, techno/electronica of all sorts.
I'd try whatever listening you'd recommend.

Pasta, pizza, calzones, chocolate. Pulled pork sandwiches, cheese-steaks. Soft pretzels.

Malcolm Gladwell's books, Stuart Little, The Phantom Tollbooth.
The six things I could never do without
Real:
Love, freedom, amusement, knowledge and wisdom, prudence with money/resources, and a nice scarf.

Fun:
Backwards long jumping in Mario 64, fire in a variety of colors, those scooping things that make snowballs for you, jumpkicks, and music that does not take itself seriously. Also, parentheses.

Surrealist:
The avatar-essence of mediocre frozen yogurt, Dark Montague, a bullet that fires guns, a picture of myself from 10 years before I was born, The Deceitful Tea Party from Beyond Physics, and discount vulgar frog™ toothpaste.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What the world would be like with more corrupted politicians, in the sense of 'software error' instead of 'self-serving and greedy'.

(False) etymologies. Words in general.
On a typical Friday night I am
Challenging the sun to a nuclear fusion contest.

Regular game/move night is Saturday, so this one is pretty much a crapshoot.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
Heteronormative expectations are nasty.

"Haters gonna hate" is a surprisingly useful phrase.

Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier.

I'm related to a famous folk singer and an infamous televangelist.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 20–25
  • Near me
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners, long-distance penpals
You should message me if
Perusing self-describing boxes < real word-tennis.
Write something unexpected. 'You'll never know unless you try' is hackneyed and will never stop being true.

You want to work together to discern new things about how we perceive our world.

Give me a thumbs up or serve me a warm plate of 'Why do you think these evil thoughts?'

However often this happens, I don't know who people who 'upvote' me on Quickmatch are, so just stop by and say hi.
