I am charming, slanted, and enchanted.
My Self-Summary
One of my favorite outfits consists of jeans and a black t-shirt. I
have a drawer full of black t-shirts (with matching black
underwear). Not that I don't have some style, I just wear black
t-shirts because they're easy. Yet somehow I manage to get
toothpaste on them all the time. I blame it on my fancy-pants
Sonicare toothbrush. That pretty much sums me up. I like black
t-shirts. Yet I will sacrifice them for dental hygiene.
Really, I think self-summaries are pretty silly. It's like at an
interview or bad date: "So, tell me about yourself." Uh, like what
should I tell you? It's a bit vague, don't you think?
What I’m doing with my life
Watching people and trying to figure out what they're
thinking.
I'm an artist, because, well, now that I think about it, I guess
there's no good reason to be an artist. And I have a little
business.
I’m really good at
making strangers (and people I know) laugh
giving (though not necessarily taking) good advice
wiggling my ears (one at a time!)
teaching myself to do creative things
walking fast
misusing grammar intentionally
bantering wittily
giving little gifts
debating
cuddling
knowing random things
analyzing stuff and making sense of it
and scrapbooking. Actually, I've never done any scrapbooking, but I
find something perversely fascinating about it.
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyelashes, I guess. Which are right next to my eyes. So people
probably notice my eyes, too. When I was a baby, people always
thought I was a girl. But I'm not.

You do creative stuff.
You can teach me something.
You want to trade mix tapes.

You want to know what's on my mind grapes.
Or you're bored. Don't be shy! I really am looking to meet people.
