My father had a skin condition which caused him to have odd, scaly skin. I believe it was called "being a giant goddamn lizard."

You should go to schnitzelandsiopao.com to see things which are simply delicious, even if the idea of German-Asian fusion sounds a bit odd.

I study German and would like to meet German people or people who speak German or who are interested in German things.

I would like to have a pet echidna.

I am terribly fond of interesting ideas and off-kilter thinking.

I have all of my bones replaced every five years or thirty thousand miles, whichever comes first.

Joking about tragedy in that period commonly known as "too soon."

Planning photoshoots.

Cooking. schnitzelandsiopao.com. It's the only German-Asian fusion cooking blog I've ever heard of, and the things I make are surprisingly delicious.

experimenting. for instance, i found out that if you change your "looking for" criteria to suggest that you're only interested in casual sex with geriatrics, you may end up encountering strange people.

I do like encountering strange people - but perhaps not exactly that sort of strange.

in the OKC dating advice forum i help people learn to think about themselves as though they're the interesting, engaging sort of people they themselves would like to date.

and if that doesn't work, i call them dumbheads and go phtbtbtbt.

making self-aggrandizing and difficult-to-substantiate claims about my own talents in matters intellectual, emotional, and sexual when given the option by online forms.

occasionally, subverting expectations.

i make really good pork adobo.

i've got all the usual parts. most of them are synthetic, but they're there.

i'm sure whatever you like is fine. i read more than is probably healthy, love all sorts of music, and enjoy cooking.

i tend toward magical realism. borges, calvino, murakami, and that. franz kafka is my favorite author, and i'm more than a bit fond of lovecraft and philip k. dick.

i like songs and books that people suggest to me.

lately i'm listening to a polish band called riverside. they're nice to fall asleep to, usually.

TED talks.

lately they're all soy sauce or some variation on something fermented in soy sauce.

a good chef's knife is always knife to have.

i'd be lost without my cameras.

due to some youthful indiscretions on the part of my dear mother, i am roughly half cephalopod.

the Law, the essence of the societally-engendered inhumane.

lately, going out to eat and visit with friends, location scouting, that manner of thing.

ich moechte ein Eisbaer sein.

please message me if you speak german and would like to do so with me.

i am confident in your ability to capitalize all of the words that i do not.

du moechtest meine brieffreunde werden.

you enjoy creative pursuits and collaboration.

ALSO if we are 90% enemy or higher i would like us to become best friends.

if you're weird and interesting. actually so - not the thing where you can't follow a conversation, reflexively mention monkeys, describe yourself as 'random' and are incredibly tedious, but actually interesting. if you don't know whether you qualify, give it a shot.
