I am creative, social, and absurd.
My Self-Summary
I'm new to the city and looking to meet people who like more than a
pinch of
repartee
to flavor their
conversations. Someone who likes
to talk for hours on end about absolutely nothing, and yet come
away convinced that some tangential diversion has in fact uncovered
a heretofore undiscovered universal truth. Or has indeed destroyed
universal truth. Or is about what's in Jules' briefcase. Or how
your uncle is a headcase. It doesn't really matter, if you got what
the Brits like to call 'the chat' I'm game.
What I’m doing with my life
I’m really good at
Inclusion. You know that situation where a group of people sort of
stand in a way so that newcomers/awkward people don't feel like
part of the conversation? Closing the circle? I have an uncanny
ability to recognize and rectify that.
Also write songs and play a bunch of instruments, though probably
prouder of the inclusion thing.
The first things people usually notice about me
Gregariousness, and if I'm in my element a
subversive and likely inappropriate
sense of humor
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: sundry non-fiction with a healthy dose of Kundera and
Twist
Movies: huge sucker for anything sufficiently stylized or
irreverent
Music: generally like it if its from the
1970s, has interesting vocal harmonies or
prominent
analog
synthesizers.
Did I just describe the Alan Parsons Project?
Food: once ate a live octopus while living overseas. Here marks the
moment where offended vegans can politely close the tab in Firefox.
It's ok, I deserve it.
The six things I could never do without
Trying new cuisine, epic weekends, inside jokes, empty adverbs
modifying cliche phrases on lists like this, really amazing
friends, counter-intuitive ideas
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how not to make this section what my friend called "the nadir of
your profile." social interactions, namely trying to understand why
people/I don't cut through the bullshit more often.
On a typical Friday night I am
Quixotically trying to co-ordinate 4 or 5 groups of unacquainted
people to meet at some bar not a single of us have been to before,
giving up around 1am, drinking with random hillbillies,
dancing ass off until next
day
hangover is
assured.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I don't have my shit together nearly as well as most people
probably think I do
You should message me if
You are adventurous, a
night-owl, a little to a lot bit
kooky, and prefer
being with people to watching TV by yourself. Unless that show is
It's Always
Sunny In Philadelphia. In which case, message me
immediately.
Bonus points if you have both pretentious tendencies and an uncanny
ability to hide that fact to everyone but your closest confidants.
