I am salty, sweet, and sometimes sour.

My Self-Summary

I'm a new Portlander, fresh from a couple of decades back east. I work for a small progressive nonprofit. As a child reader of reference books, the Age of Google is in some ways a paradise to me. I'm very fond of cats.

What I’m doing with my life

Trying to contribute to building a just society, which is difficult when there are so many institutions around screwing things up. Global warming makes me fairly pessimistic about life after about fifty years from now, but it'll probably be okay inside the climate-controlled corporate enclaves. People like me will be out in the Sprawl, I guess, but maybe we'll have good pot and homemade liquor and stuff.

I’m really good at

left-brain things: numbers, spelling, remembering rules, figuring out how to break rules in the most effective and authentic ways.

The first things people usually notice about me

Bleached blond hair on a non-blond-looking head.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Vonnegut, Oliver Sacks, Didion, Fernand Braudel, anything good about green architecture and/or antique buildings, cyberpunk, Marge Piercy, Mary Renault, anything about the Middle Ages or the Renaissance or ancient Rome, 60s sci-fi, anything about early 20c Britain. Movies: see my handle; noir in general, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen (early, funny), Heathers and Bueller and Dead Again. Music: melodic, 60s, novelty; Incense and Peppermints, Runaway, The Vatican Rag, Brubeck. Food: meat, mostly.

The six things I could never do without

Books, games, exercise, shorts, cats, lots of sleep.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

how to have more fun. There's someone who's sort of become a role model for me in how to have more fun--strangely enough, I don't think she actually has any more fun than I do, but she seems to want it a lot more, or want to act on it more, or something. Anyway, I know I want to have more fun--go out more, walk around the city, go hiking, do more exciting and wonderful and brilliant things. I'm new here and want to find people to do them with.

On a typical Friday night I am

working, unfortunately.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Aliens have infiltrated my couch cushions and are plotting to take over my neighbor's house. I made a deal with them where I won't tell her if they agree to keep the cat entertained.

You should message me if

you're new here too or you work or live in nearby SE or you want to play Scrabble or you think you may have known me in a past life (or you think you will know me in a future life) or you're feeling particularly alienated and don't care who knows it.
