I'm a computer programmer with a really busy life full of lots of wonderful people. I have lots of crafty/artsy hobbies. And I'm polyamorous. I'm currently in a committed open relationship and a long term casual relationship, but you may consider me available and date-able if you wish (although my actual time availability varies, sometimes my schedule just doesn't have room for any new people). I pride myself on being an honest and direct communicator.

I'm trying to expand my social network (and succeeding). I've met a lot of really wonderful people since moving to Vancouver in 2007 and I'm grateful to have them in my life.

I'm trying to keep myself motivated at work and make sure not to be too much of a slacker. I like my job, but career is not the main focus of my life right now. (If you want to know what IS the main focus, you should read my journal post called My Life Priorities).

I teach felting part time at a local wool store (yes, they exist!). I sell stuff that I make on Etsy just for fun (or sometimes I trade with other artists).

I always make sure that I have one or two nights per week to spend alone in my apartment, doing things just for me (e.g. take a hot bath, watch bad movies). Having a sense of home is very important to me, so I make sure not to let my social life take over every single night. Sometimes I just like to bond with my apartment.

playing pool, drawing, hugging, computers, teaching, telling stories

People tend to quickly notice my intelligence despite my best efforts.

I'm also told I have a wonderful smile.

I can be a bit competitive and flirtatious.

I confess I do not read very much, though I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just too busy with other things. My friends like to tease me about it.

Movies:
-I'm a big fan of horror and science fiction movies (or movies about the apocalypse). I especially like vampires, zombies, and space movies.. (not necessarily all in the same movie)
-I also like thought-provoking movies like Shawshank Redemption, the Butterfly Effect, etc
-Dark comedies like The Adams Family and Clue...
-LOTR, X-men, Princess Bride, Fight Club, 10th Kingdom (bonus points if you've even heard of it), the Alien movies, the Matrix movies, Jurassic park...

What can you tell about someone by their movie tastes anyway? If you don't like the same movies I'll watch them with someone else, no biggie.

Music: I like alternative, metal, pop, rock, country.. quite a wide range. The band with the most number of songs in my itunes is Metallica.

Food: Wide variety, I'm pretty open-minded. Sushi, Italian, French, Chinese, Indian.. I like spicy food.

and chocolate. What woman doesn't like chocolate?

I also like beer, wine, coffee, tea... my favorite beverage is chai tea latte (or, on some days, bubble tea).

love, hugs, expression through art, rain, communication, laughter

sex, work, complex relationships between friends, how my mind is going to work when I get old

cuddling with one of my loves watching a funny tv show or curled up on the couch alone with my sketchpad.

I will admit to just about anything (but not somewhere that my mom may someday see it!)

I suppose you'll have to start a conversation with me to get these answers.

Personal questions are not a problem.

You think I'm date-able and don't have a problem with polyamory.
