*** currently i'm (we're) mainly looking to date (singles or couples) together, as a couple... see renegade_muse! ***

i like to make things.

i guess i would consider myself an artist, though a specific media eludes me. i dabble in drawing, painting, designing, photography and a lot more. i've spent time doing silver-work, lapidary, stained glass, stone carving. lately i've been trying to focus on creativity and use the time my work schedule gives me to make stuff. as you may have you've noticed, i also have an aversion to capital letters.

my work schedule does not usually complement the things i'd like to do. often my mornings are free, and i tend to spend the last moments of consciousness holding my sugar, renegade_muse.

i listed myself as "bisexual" and i feel the need to clarify that. i prefer the term "heteroflexible"... i think that is much more appropriate. i definitely lean more in one direction... but, in the right situation, with the right person/people, who knows where it might lead.

integrity, confidence, sense of humor, openness, creativity, positivity... these are things i feel strongly about. these are things i want in my life. these are things i aspire to be... or possess, or something like that.
i see myself as shy, but i know i'm a very social being. i enjoy interaction... but i think i respond more than i initiate, and that's part of why i'm here. i need to take more initiative. i need to reach out for what i want and not ride the wave so much.

so, that's a brief summary...

i'm sure i have more to say, but like i already stated, i'm shy.
guess you gotta ask...

trying to live with passion and integrity, wanting to share that passion... for me mostly, but also for those i love.

trying to spend my time and energy on my art
getting away, when i can (not often enough)

i think i'm good at a lot of things...
i like to use my hands alot, and
from what i'm told i have good hands

i guess my hat first.
then, aside from the fact that i'm not the tallest of the bunch, i'm often told about my eyes

books:
devil in the white city - i love chicago history
the wild trees - amazing how recent the science is
american gods - briliant mythology... can't wait for hbo
guns, germs and steel - almost all of the info i knew before, just never put it together that way

music:
flaming lips, andrew bird, beatles, parov stelar, broadcast...
the list goes on...

food:
sushi - need i say more?
calamari - when done right
peanutbutter bacon burgers - again, need i say more?
stuffed portabella - sigh

not necessarily in order...

the ability to express myself
the ability to create
intimacy
affection
integrity
humor

this one's easy...
sex.
other than that...
my art.

i'm also curious what the world would be like if there were no hypothetical questions...

currently, Friday is my Thursday, and since I'm working evenings, there you will find me

it may take time to formulate my answer, but i'm willing to admit anything.
ask me what you want...

Ultimately I/we are looking for low maintenance and self sufficient partners and friends - to hold our hands and our hearts. People who challenge us in the good ways...to push us to be better. Playful friends who wants weekends filled with adventures, passionate kisses, comfortable nights spent wrapped around each other with our books or laptops or journals nearby. Someone(s) who have their own lives and interests but who just wants more. More good, more love, more joy....together.
