MARRIED!

Just to let you know, that it can not be mistaken: I'm married.

Okaythanks. Now, if you still want to know me, we'll start with the nickname....

The '83 Dodge Aries, K-series is a temperamental machine, wired completely backwards, a mechanical nightmare that saved lots of asses (specifically, Chrystler,from out of financial ruin)...short on horsepower but got where it was going...quite a dodge, it was....never been much seen in a long time. Temperamental little bitch she was, too - worked prettymuch when it wanted to, though was great for A to B and reliable in its own right...

C'est moi. Temperamental, yet reliable. Short on power but long on saving peoples' backsides when called for. And yes, quite a dodge :P

Yes, I've a quirky sense of humor,but wait; there's more:

My interests are:

Light - from glow in the dark stickies to 225mW 660nm lasers, and most shiny things in-between :D

Special Needs Education.

Activism.

Music.

Cats.

I am married , odd, and eccentric. Oh yeah, I mentioned being married. Sorry about that. I've also a short attention span - perhaps comparable to gnats on crack - but I mean well. Honest.

I first wandered in here a long time ago, playing quizlets with a few friends. It's rather interesting to see how a person perceives the world around them, through both the answers offered and through the questions, themselves.

Long ago, I actively decided to live each moment as if it were my last. I work. I play. I actively try to discover something new every day, if I can.

"Your life is an occasion, rise to it!"
"Everything in excess. To enjoy the full flavor of life, take big bites Moderation is for monks."

Bonus points to those who know the origins of those two quotes. Google doesn't count.

working with others, putting in both solid knowledge and creative effort.

the ability to grok.

Now: if only I were good at self-descriptions...

Books: I've not had, nor made any time, for sitting still long enough to read a novel -- not even a graphic novel. I have an esoteric collection - from Heinlein to Eugenides to Yayoi - a wide range of what-have-you. Yeah...not much you can gather from that. Okay.

Okay, that's all my poor brain can think of...make of it what you will...and no, I don't need the number of a psychotrickerist...my marbles are lined up nicely, thanQ

My family, my cats, my near and dear friends, music [for when nothing else makes sense], high-speed internet, caffeine.

Life, laughter, and the exhilaration of cruising down the cross section of a mobius strip after evading a citation for double parking in a parallel universe at a tailgate party, where participants often dine on mental fodder with a fine flavor of absurd, sage - seasoned with added thyme.

plugged on the computer filling out silly profiles with profoundly meaningless words lovingly sorted through a cuisinart.

I'm quick to be friendly but slow to make friends.

Actually, as this site is primarily a dating site, I wouldn't recommend it: I'm married, and will try to tactfully dodge.

Still and all, if you seek a friendship with someone whose first travels in life began at ten degrees from normal, and whose journeys have, since inception, continued on the same trajectory ...well...it's all good.

Congratulations on surviving the verbosity resilience portion on acquaintanceship with me. Proceed at your own risk.
