I am a bi, poly human of hobbitish tastes (comfort, good food, friends). I passionately believe in asking for what you want, though I'm shy enough that it is sometimes a challenge for me.

Openness, honesty, and communication are essential to my friendly and romantic relationships. Drama is best only when fictional and limited to around 2 hours or less, otherwise I find it tiresome.

I value both autonomy and interdependence. I believe love is an infinite-sum game. I make up songs to sing along with my kitchen appliances. I believe that even casual sex is not really casual, that if you share real delight with a person even briefly, you've brought more love into the world.

I have grand dreams of a life filled with love, with many lovers, many friends, abundance, happiness, challenges and delights for all. I believe this to be actually possible.

And when I say my religion is "Judaism, and laughing about it," that's only because OKCupid does not have a choice for "Judeo-Pagan Taoist, laughing about it in a sincerely reverent way."

The things that make us happy make us wise.

I'm working, playing ukulele, saz and concertina, living, loving. Knitting. Crocheting. Playing games. Growing herbs on the deck. Paddling dragon boats. Sharing my life with a wonderful primary partner, but delighting in sharing with others as well.

Learning anything I set my mind to, finding answers to questions, making wry comments, appreciating people for who they are.

Cooking chili, or fried rice.

Fixing bugs in code.

Playing games (though not of the head variety).

From SacredStorm:

Laughing! He says he makes wry comments, but really they're usually extremely funny and often silly things that make everyone giggle.

Another thing my dear rhythmic_lemur excels at is loving people--tenderly and passionately and thoroughly. I know this from first hand experience! *grinning happily*

My hair, my humor, and my heart.

(A) Little, Big, LOTR, Pronoia, Tom Robbins, RGB Mars (B) LOTR, Being There, POTC, I Heart Huckabees, Stardust -- but some of my favorite things to watch are actually TV shows (on DVD; hate commercials) - Buffy, Firefly, Six Feet Under (C) Joan Osborne, Dead Can Dance, Trans Global Underground, Latif Bolat, Celia Cruz, Bela Fleck, Sheila Chandra, Steeleye Span (D) Indian cuisine

Friends. Music. Games. The internet. Love. Laughter.

Okay, I could live without the internet. But it would be like losing part of my brain.

Love. This fragile Earth. The wonders and pains of existence. Sex. How to end corporatist tyranny in America.

How to fill my life (and others') with as much love and delight as I possibly can, in the time I have.

Having a yummy dinner at home. Playing games, making music or listening to others do the same. Watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer or some other Joss Whedon masterpiece.

From the Chuang Tzu:

Four men got in a discussion. Each one said: "Who knows how to have the Void for his head, to have Life as his backbone and Death for his tail? He shall be my friend!"

At this they all looked at one another, saw they agreed, burst out laughing and became friends.

If this makes you burst out laughing as well, then you should message me.
