amused, warm, and eclectic

My self-summary Propose an edit

hmmmmm.....darn they won't let me escape with a short summary. Well hi, how are you? How are you doing? hmmm...still not enough...okay then..

Yes I am amused at these boxes. Then again, life is full of many amusements both beautiful and ironic.

Why am I here? to see who's out there...chat with interesting people, and see what happens.

I like to meet interesting people. I get intrigued and tend to want to know more. Thus, you'll probably get lots of questions. That amused curiosity has gotten me to try to understand and appreciate that which is around me. I tend to be very accepting and easy going....in many aspects (take that as you like).

I have the mind of a scientist, always wanting to know more. Experimenting and practicing at things till I figure it out.

I tend to be an affectionate person with friends and partners (okay the partner part would be obvious...otherwise, it'd be kind of boring)

I love to be able to swim at the ocean/beach. I love warm places...does not mean they have to be physically warm (MDRF as an example...fun place to be that feels good to be there).

I used to do archery, fencing, wallyball, and duelo.

I love to take pictures and to look at various different types of artwork. I've gone to places, seen movies, or perused art books just for the artistic beauty/style. I started writing poetry when I was young...and never really stopped.

Sometimes I like pirates and sometimes ninjas.

I am a teacher, scientist, poet, photographer, actor, gamer, friend, and basically human. =)

And, of course, sometimes I just have fun spouting out the first amusing things that come to mind. Support Non Sequitor

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

far too much on many occasions.....

Teaching and constantly learning. Otherwise, where would be the fun.

Not working at the job (yay summer), working on the house, having fun with friends, trying out new experiences, planning trips...

....and anything else that strikes my fancy.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

well this seems like a big ego section. =)

But okay, I'll go with what people have said lately. Only some of these do I agree with.

I'm: a good hugger; good at photography (but always learning); being a sarcastic bastard; a good listener (I like to know about people); good at vocal impersonations (some); good at all sorts of games (not mind...I don't get into or do them); being funny...not to me but then again I can walk into a room and people laugh without me saying anything...hmmm is that a good thing? and anything else that I've been told that for whatever reason isn't coming to mind. =)

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My eyes seem to attract people and I have been told people like the sound quality of my natural voice....too many years singing had some affect there I'm sure.

..and my sense of humor and mind shortly afterwards.

I've been told I'm an insufferable flirt. -- and no not in a bad way.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Friends (they are there for you when you need them, and hopefully I'm there for them when they need me)

A camera(there are far too many beautiful things out there to appreciate)

Computer (I suffer from days without it, but survive)

Books (thousands of worlds and tales both real and fantasy)

Music (what else will I listen too while reading)

Games (doesn't really matter of the type, I just love games)

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Friends (who I care for deeply)

Past (what has led me to be the person I am today)

Future (what I need to do to become the person I want to be)

Present (when I'm just enjoying being me with the people I want to spend time with)

....why coconuts are migratory? and how?

.....and 42?

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Out with friends...dinner, movie, games, clubs

In relaxing...dinner, movies, games, TV, reading a good book and suddenly realizing it's 2 in the morning.

Mostly just relaxing and enjoying the beginning to the weekend.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

hmmmm........too many comments. =)

Hmm....I'm an insufferable flirt -- wait it says private thing. hmmm...

Okay, even when meeting an attractive woman, I actually do look at the eyes and smile first. I find that I can learn so much more about a person by looking at their face and hopefully admiring what I see there. Yes, I know that's probably weird for guys...but So Be It.

Poetry writing often seems to come easily to me and I'm not always sure why. I write what I feel and then read over it once I'm done and am often surprised by what I come up with...sometimes good, sometimes not.

Pretty much, if you ask...I will tell. I don't tend to be shy with questions, and I always give only honest answers...even when it might not be in my best interests, I would rather be honest.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You are amused by reading this, and want to chat and maybe more. Basically, if in reading this something here intrigues you and you want to know more.
