I'm still fairly new to Seattle, having just moved here a few months ago from scenic Bremerton. I'm a music enthusiast (both listening and playing), average cook, and enjoy long, grueling walks in brutal weather conditions.

Working for the man, at the moment. I have a day job performing unnatural acts and committing unspeakable atrocities deep within the Seattle Goodwill complex in the International District. I'm an avid record collector and admirer of vintage detritus, so a certain amount of my free time is spent scouring other thrift stores, garage sales, etc. for items to either enrich my own experience or sell to someone else.

Telling jokes and thumb wrestling. I also give good advice and can manufacture conversation out of nothing.

King Crimson, The Beatles, Wire, The Fall, Roxy Music, Bowie. Lots of stuff. I like Burt Bacharach songs and 60s soul a lot, too.

I don't watch a lot of TV. I enjoy sports and will speak glowingly of early 90s "Simpsons" or MST3K if prompted.

If we're excluding obvious necessities, then I really don't think there's anything I absolutely couldn't do without. Shoes are good, I guess. It's no fun walking around without shoes.

Playing music, out and about, or going back to Bremerton to visit with the lepers there.

I briefly considered having my name legally changed to Chick Patty.

You feel so compelled.
