What should I put in a self-summary? How about something weird and obscure. Someone has said that a correctly-framed question carries its answer like a shell its egg. I seriously doubt that.

Alright, I'm driven by curiosity, very non-domestic, and like to invent about 50 solutions at a problem, one after the other. I highly value my independence.

I am outgoing and absolutely love people's stories (and many are very worth hearing). Interested in other cultures, especially disappearing ones. Enjoy writing, art, and building D/s toys and furniture, reading, and independent and foreign films.

I am understanding, independent, and helpful

Getting educated and launching a home business.

Opening my damn mouth when I'm going to regret it later. Starting new projects.

My cruel and domineering attitude (relax, I'm joking).

Books: Half of a Yellow Sun (Ngozie), My Life and Hard Times (Thurber), The Sleep Book (Seuss).

Movies: Underground (Emir Kusturica, 1995) Ah, Lamour! and Rejected (Don Hertzfeldt)

Music: Mostly random.

Food: Cantonese (Fish With X-O Sauce!), Southern Barbecue (Brisket!)

Intense new experiences. Civil rights, including freedom of speech. The feeling that things are not at an all-time low and might actually be get better someday. Good tea. Affection.

Current enthusiams and projects.

Working on something creative, watching a movie, or recovering from the last few days.

God, I love Tests!

You think independently, and are opeminded.

Or you would like to meet an old-fashioned, demure, delicate little flower. (that's sarcasm).

You are in or near Rochester, NY. Or from some really cool far-away exotic-type place. Like Belfast or New Jersey.

Or just want to know which place in Rochester is the "in" place to watch trains and discuss what's going on with Track 4.
