I am intuitive, hard to figure out, and tempting.
My Self-Summary
Rarely urban, although in camouflage can appear so. Difficult to
see in forests. Tends to blend in with arctic "ruska" with
flame-coloured hair and green things on.
Also: Sunnything with sudden changes of mood (Can turn into a goth
when provoked...)
What I’m doing with my life
I mostly divide my life fairly equally between socialising in bars
and playing strange variations of truth-or-dare with the management
in expensive corporate settings in the role of a business
consultant - or a spiritual coach - and a teacher of interaction,
meditation and
how-not-to-hit-your-co-worker-in-the-head-even-when-they-are-purposefully-annoying-the-hell-out-of-you.
The work related latter part includes nearly as many nights out but
in fewer pubs.
I’m really good at
There actually are things that have occasionally gained me
reasonable amounts of respect. I'm sure I'll be able to think of
some in a moment...
I think it's people. Fairly good with them, mostly.
The first things people usually notice about me
My hair. It's red. Very. *ouch* Oh, ok orange, and stop biting my
ear! And a fairly independent entity...
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Lately my reading has been confined to those moments when secondary
tasks like walking, waiting for a bus or attenting meetings keep
only parts of me occupied and leave at least one hand and most of
my attention free for someting more important. Namely reading. I
have to work with my reading-while-washing-the-dishes-technique a
bit more, though. If nothing is available, I read the lists of
ingredients in milk cartons like everyone else.
As for movies, my stubborn refusal to let any TV's anywhere near my
home has made most conversations beginning with "did you see
the...[insert programme/film here]...yesterday" kind of useless.
Mostly my friends get me to watch their favourite films only by
threatening me with blunt instruments. My woeful ignorance having
now been fully recorded, the last I watched without outside
coercion: lotr extendeds, the best ever: Dead Poets Society or
possibly Querelle.
And yes, the compulsory music question just had to be added, right?
No getting around that one, is there? So fine, fine, it's mostly
metal (the kind that actually has music in it), progressive rock,
scandinavian folk and medieval stuff and mostly anything that never
appears on MTV's prime time sessions.
And food's good too.
The six things I could never do without
The moments when you have gotten the fire going, it is so late that
the midnight sun is touching the treetops only, making the colours
deepen into strange shades, the coffee is about to boil and someone
says "you know, I don't rightly recall what brought this to my
mind, but I heard this story..."
That's at least four, right? Open fire, midnight sun, (moon will
also do nicely), nights in the forest, stories... Strangely enough
I can do without coffee even after all this time with drama people
and geeks...
Oh yes. Geeks. People. Couldn't do without. Nor massage. (Or the
other thing people do in various stages of undress, although it
must be said it sometimes seems to be only a slightly diluted
version of a really good, intimate massage...)
And I think I should add at least my mobile (Nokia N-Gage, I'm
sorry to say), most of the books in the world (No, I don't think it
is possible to read them all. Just to know they exist and do ones
best..) and...
there's this thing with boys with long, flowing hair and this
certain kind of smile... (Usually also somewhat younger than I am,
since I very rarely tell my age and people don't usually believe me
even if I do... *tries to look all innocent while having a most
mischievous twinkle in her eyes and not really succeeding at
all...* )
Six things, was it?
On a typical Friday night I am
Probably in front of my mirror having a serious discussion with my
orange friend about whether it would finally suit it to be all set
and done and on our way out or where ever it is our friends have
seen fit to meet some hours ago...
You should message me if
You thought I might be worth sending a one-liner to just to see if
the one-liner I would answer with would be worth maybe one more
one-liner from your part...
Or you were looking for the
shaumbra here in okcupid and wanted to
say hi to each and every one of them :)
