I am honest, outspoken, and overly flattering.

My Self-Summary

Just so y'all know, I'm dating a lovely lady, so I'm only here to find new friends (and to take quizzes, of course).

In short, I'm an office drone whose first love is classical music. I generally follow Tibetan Buddhism, but don't let religion rule my life. I'm also a very political socialist feminist who happens to work for a credit card company. Irony rules supreme.

I am forever running into things and finding small scrapes and bruises of unknown origin. I enjoy running through open fields and clambering through the woods (which may explain some of the scrapes and bruises), and also dancing and sitting in trendy bars (which may explain some of the other scrapes and bruises).

I have a blog (who doesn't?) and two cats, read lots of books, fight a never-ending battle against clutter in my apartment, and like to plan vacations to far-off places. I enjoy being quiet and being loud, and I'm always looking to learn new things. I've been told that the way I dress is "artsy," and I'm not exactly sure how to take that.

What I’m doing with my life

Working for The Man, earning money to travel or eventually go to grad school. I sing in a big ol' choir that I love and read pretentious books to make myself feel smart. When I'm not doing that, I'm corraling friends to find fun new ways to populate Facebook with embarrassing pictures.

I’m really good at

Singing; being a wine snob; speaking in depth on subjects about which I actually know very little; embarrassing myself; learning foreign languages (collect them all!); spouting off about astrology at the drop of a hat

The first things people usually notice about me

My hair; my posh professor speak riddled with profanities; and Scorpios tend to notice my eyes.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

a) The Book of Disquietude by Fernando Pessoa feels like it could have been written just for me, and thus wins the prize as my favorite book. Apart from that, I love non-genre-specific literature (think Chabon, Atwood, and Wilde) and non-fiction books about politics, science, and religion;

b) could never pick, but a quick perusal of my DVD collection and wish list yields Hot Fuzz, GalaxyQuest, Amadeus, Dr. Strangelove, Frida, No Country For Old Men, The Iron Giant, Logan's Run, Duel, The Royal Tenenbaums, La Vie En Rose, Spellbound, Tootsie, Tron, and Wallace and Gromit;

c) could never ever pick, but I like a little bit of everything;

d) Vietnamese, Thai, Greek, Indian, Japanese, Ethiopian, Persian, and just about everything but Italian or Chinese. (Though I won't turn it down if it's offered.)

The six things I could never do without

1) My sense of sight; 2) music; 3) something to read; 4) access to the New York Times; 5) my friends; 6) privacy.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Morality, ethics, and economics; my NaNoWriMo plot; where I want to travel when I have money; social justice; whoever the current crush is.

On a typical Friday night I am

Out with friends embarrassing myself, having friends over for dinner & drinks, or beating back the clutter in my home with a chair and a whip. (Kinky.)

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am the best person to have on your trivia team. I'm a walking almanac.

You should message me if

You know the difference between "it's" and "its" and when to use each. You hold strong opinions, or can at least pretend you do. Words like "productivity" or "synergy" give you hives, but words like "perspicacity" and "boobies" make you smile. You generally dislike the whiff of conservativism. You can talk with me without getting either soapboxes or horses--high or otherwise--involved.

If you've read this far and haven't been scared off, then lob a message my way.
