I sew/craft; I like dressing up in costumes all the time. I dance like I want to break all my bones; I'm unorganized but I micromanage. my back is half-broken.

I'm ambitious. I wish I had the industry of a man at the turn of the last century. "Golden Reconstruction" through "Edwardian." I wish I could meet Teddy Roosevelt. I love that man. I have many hobbies. I'm willing to try _______.I like lavish dinner affairs. I wear little old timey hats almost every day.

I sleep whenever I'm feeling freaked out or nervous that I might make a bad decision. "let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be"

I am not to be flexed with

I like having a lot of skill sets. I dabble and do deeds and designs. I just taught myself to embroider. I'd like to paint more. I'd like to silk screen those offensive shirts jeremy and I made up. I crochet. I do millinary. I can make craft based costumes like fake leather/metal and prosthetic skin and animal body parts and masks. I like to take apart broken (sometimes not broken. oops) electronic equipment and make things with the parts. See: Bedouin costume picture. I can wrangle cats. I can cook, mostly bake. I can arrange things very nicely, and pack like tetris. I work with colors very well. I make jewelry. I collect things; fabric scraps, broken machinery, odds'n'ends, hats, antique clothes I can never wear but I hold and touch them, pictures of women, old photographs, old gold-papered books, terrifying toys. I am a hoarder. so life will get harder.

this section is lame, I feel bad dignifying it with a decent answer. I feel like the above section says all that this section wants.

but I learnt to pack a tobaccy pipe in no time flat. go me.

non sequitur: I've left my home of 16 years. its the first grown up step I've taken. it going fairly well. but I miss west virginia. I more miss what it was like 3 or more years ago. its a beautiful state, a weird state, a forgotten state, but I'm proud of my state. I got a tattoo of a raccoon battling the Cass railroad in the shape of the state with snow and coal dust swirling around and "montani semper liberi" off to one side. there are no pictures of it and I'm not posting one. so don't ask. I have a deep attachment to the hills and the animals and the history and rhythm of the people and the subtle cultural differences and the pepperoni rolls. its one of those places that stay with you even when you know you will never go back.

yuckers on this and the above section. I'll bet they notice my clothes. I do tend to wear them. and little hats.

I like stretching. I don't like people who are described as nice. I hate games. especially ice breakers. I can't deal with electricity. I can barely operate anything with it. everyone says I have some sort of electricity disease. I think I do. and I think there is a name for it. I like making up words. I like touching. I'm a sub. I am told I am "overwhelming," "brassy," "anxious and crude," "terrifying."

I notice other people's clothes. I think about how much I know about them because of their clothes. I think about where the design comes from, why they wear it, how they were feeling when they put it on, what they want to say with their look. I wonder what they think they know about me when they see my clothes.

A)I go through phases where I'll read 15 books a month and then have a 3 month dryspell.

B)Titus is prolly my favorite movie. I love Blue Velvet, too. and McCabe and Mrs Miller. Indiana Jones. Metropolis. Wild at Heart. period dramas. natural born killers. anything with zombies. Harold and Maude. MST3K. Blade Runner. Mad Max. Barbarella. The fifth element, drop dead gorgeous, aliens, and hook are my most re-watchable movies. i watch about 3 movies a week, so listing favorites is hard. I don't have TVs but I'm in love with Deadwood, sifl and ollie, Mad Men and the Maryland PBS (tho I never get to watch it)

paul said to me, "geniuses talk about ideas. average joes talk about events. and dunces talk about other people" I think about that a lot.

"Smellers color great!"

I spend a gargantuous amount of time thinking about "plans," the psychology of dress, and history of costume, connectedness, monism, maturity, the apocalypse, how people of old got so much done, why can't I calm down, why is the future coming so fast, why don't people notice how bad it is, the future is going to kill me, why am I not getting things done, how did the baby boomer generation or the depression era generation affect me and why are we a part of the slacker culture, can I escape the slacker culture, I like sitting on my porch, how can I get things done while sitting on the porch and not get called a slacker.

I think it is as important to know the worst about someone as it is to know the best. I say, "put your worst foot forward. that way the shoe never drops." There needs to be a balance to really know whats going on.

spontaneity is key. for other people.

usually I watch movies and make things. or participate in extravagantly planned events. I like dressing up more than actually going out. but I got freaky ways. I can shake ass for days. I can kick it in 69 different ways.

My Name is ___________ and I have Lots of Love to Give.

I often have the impulse to snarl and gnash. Equally, I have the impulse to violently cuddle and bury into people. Neither of these things I do as often as I like. and no, I would not like some paltry comment on how you'd violently cuddle with me anytime. I am stress embodied.

I'm not a big fan of spelling. I am embarrassed and frustrated that I can't do it very well. I like that Ben Franklin said anyone who sticks to the "correct" way of spelling things is uncreative. I have a problem with words and English. When I was in elementary school I hated the French for a while because they put a bunch of their goofily spelled words in our language and it didn't make sense why we had language rules but every single one is broken. I thought the French bastardized our language. I didn't use those words, but I shook my fist all the same. I admire the Germans because they were like "we've got this system for putting characters together that make sounds which we identify as ideas and things and all that. So lets make some rules to make it as easy as possible to spell things even if it makes them long because everyone knows spelling is a waste of time to think about." Still, I tend to think anyone that spells worse than me is more stupid. oh well.

do whatever you want. I don't care. Just don't expect me to message back. I'll know if I want to talk to you, but I won't know until you message me.

I like people older than me. I like facial hair. I like someone who can keep up with me. I like dancers. There is a small handful of girls I've crushed on; everytime they happen to be straight. but there's one that happens to work. she appears to be straight but it turns out she sometimes likes girls too. and that sometime is now and that girl she likes is me. she's my fagbo. my little bean

I don't like eager to please, overly sincere. gotta have the smarts. sarcasm. love of the terrible. the horribly wonderful. philosophy over religion. in fact, no religion at all. lax morals. managed manic depression. willing to put their hands on my back. will stay calm in my situations. wordplay. the banjo would be nice.

a combination of these are helpful.
