I am opalescent, thoughtful, and interconnected.

My Self-Summary

I'm not looking for a serious relationship right now. I am looking for cool people to hang out with and/or date casually. I've figured out that monogamy doesn't work for me. I am often attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender identity, which technically makes me bi- or pansexual. However, I am not interested in forming any relationships with males for the time being.

I'm open-minded about most things and pretty unconventional. I’m also sensitive and compassionate towards others. I could be described as a hippie. I'm into all types of art and creative expression. Chances are, if it exists as a medium I've probably tried it at least once. Recently, I've been making melted crayon drawings. And if anyone has a pottery wheel, message me NOW.

I'm intellectually-oriented and somewhat nerdy. I enjoy learning about/discussing anti-racism, art, books, biology, cinema, cultures, evolution, feminism, gender, globalization, history, human rights, language, music, parenting, philosophy, prehistoric humans, politics, primatology, privilege and inequality, relationships, physics, sexuality, social issues, sustainable living, spirituality, etc. I also spend equal amounts of time just shooting the shit.

I have pretty strong social/political opinions. Most people would probably call me "liberal". The OKC Politics Test deems me a socialist. I'm really more of a neo-tribalist with left-leaning tendencies. I think civilization has done more bad than good for humanity as a whole, and that we as a species need to seriously re-evaluate the way we've been living since we came up with that pesky thing called sedentary agriculture. Living in tribal societies has worked for us for millions of years...it's the type of social organization that humans are best adapted to, and it's more ecologically sustainable than anything else we've tried so far. I know, I'm an incurable idealist.

I would classify myself as "spiritual" rather than "agnostic." I don't believe in anthropomorphic deities, but I do believe in a higher power. The Force, if you will. I am not particularly religious, but have more respect for egalitarian ideologies than hierarchical, dogmatic ones. I like astrology and the tarot, and although I'm not quite sure how they work, I have found them to be at least somewhat useful and accurate. I'm also interested in yoga/meditation.

What I’m doing with my life

I just finished my Anthropology degree. I plan to attend grad school at some point within the next few years. My ultimate career path will likely consist of one or more of the following elements:

1) teaching
2) writing/other creative endeavors
3) working with children, human-like primates, or disadvantaged groups of people
4) helping to right social wrongs
5) doing some kind of research on some kind of culturally-related topic

I’m really good at

Procrastinating on things I don’t want to do, and concentrating intensely on things that interest me.

The first things people usually notice about me

That I don't look 23. My face is deceptively youthful and innocent, so don't be fooled.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, Middlesex, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Alice In Wonderland, 1984, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, anything by Christopher Pike, Mister Sandman, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and many, many more...I <3 books.

Movies: 28 Days Later, Alice in Wonderland, A Life Less Ordinary, Amadeus, Amelie, American Beauty, Being John Malkovich, Buffalo Soldiers, Dancer In The Dark, Dig!, Donnie Darko, The Doors, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I ♥ Huckabees, Koyaanisqatsi, Love Actually, Me You and Everyone We Know, Night On Earth, Pulp Fiction, Run Lola Run

TV: Arrested Development, Roswell, Twin Peaks, Weeds, Malcolm in the Middle, Jeopardy, the Sopranos, old Nickelodeon shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark, Ren and Stimpy, and Pete and Pete (lol)

Music: The Beatles, Beethoven, The Beta Band, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Ditty Bops, The Doors, The Dresden Dolls, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Modest Mouse, The Moldy Peaches, The Moody Blues, Mozart, Pink Floyd, The Pixies, Radiohead, Rasputina, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Spice Girls, The Velvet Underground, The Who

Food: chicken noodle soup, pesto (on bread, of course), banana with peanut butter, vanilla ice cream with banana, moo goo gai pan, spaghetti, baked potato, tea, Cheez-its, mozzarella sticks, Dark Side of the Moon chocolate cake, cheesecake, baguette, strawberries, grapes, peaches, pineapples...I've become kind of a semi-vegetarian lately.

The six things I could never do without

1) My central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves.)
2) Media (as in works of writing, art, or film, and the instruments used in their creation.)
3) Sex. Well, really.
4) Friends.
5) My baby blankie. I’m sure I’d eventually get over it, but the Blankster and I go way back.
6) Substances that enable my body to continue living, like food and oxygen.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The destruction of our natural habitat and way of life by modern civilization.
Different ways of categorizing and arranging my books.
Hidden layers of meaning in songs, movies, books, etc.
Places I want to go, things I want to do.
What my cats are REALLY thinking.
Future courses I would like to teach.
How my life experiences have made me into the person I am, and what kind of person I want to be in the future.

On a typical Friday night I am

Listening to music
Playing the piano
Watching movies
Communing with Nature
Exploring places
Having long, drunk, pseudo-intellectual conversations
Reading and writing
Art (painting, drawing, sculpture/pottery, photography, etc.)
Finding exciting new uses for all the stuff that accumulates around me
Playing games
Lernin' noo stuf
Gardening
Swimming
Badminton
Yoga
Going on random adventures

You should message me if

For friendship:

you're not a straight white guy (sorry, I know some of you out there are cool, but I'm just not into that mindset. Girls, people of color, trans- and queer folk welcome!)

For dates:

you're not a guy
you're in your twenties or thereabouts
you think we would have incredibly stimulating...conversation
you can teach me something new

Don't be shy. I'm nice, really. :)
