Bouncy, open, determined, upbeat, ambitious, casual, brilliant, analytical, artistic, downright weird and proud of it, and about as easy to grasp as a hurricane. Posessed of an inner Flaming Queen and prone to bursting randomly into song and dance. Loud, shiny, fast, agile, very outgoing, energy level of an 8 year old - "ADHD". Raised by a Marine and a psychologist in Florida. Deep, complex, cynical, dandy-butchy, ubergeeky, perpetually busy, fantastically lazy little ball of crazy-in-the-good-way. "Thinks too much."

I'm often asked what I mean by "expensive". In my mother's words, that means "if you have to ask, you probably can't afford me".

I'm seeing someone, it's serious and monogamous. You won't get laid here. I just thought I should make that clear so you don't waste your time hoping. I'm serious about being open to new friends though, as long as you're patient.

On October 25, 2005, a fire started in my home office, doing quite a large amount of damage. The most significant thing this has done is lead me to completely re-evaluate my lifestyle. The second most significant thing it did was initiate the hardest year of my entire life thus far.

In, December 2006, I was living in a hobbit-cottage in beautiful historic Old Palo Alto. I've been developing an efficient, simpler, more creative lifestyle. I sold the house, which had finally been reconstructed after the fire, and moved to Seattle!

January 2009, I am performing the most pitifully slow move EVAR (due to distraction by a wild 3-month old Keeshond puppy), from Roosevelt to Phinney to move in with my superawesome boyfriend of >2 years. Yes, it's serious. No, we don't swing or do the poly. Sorry.

Our puppy could use some new friends to chew on, but frankly in all my years of having an OKC account, I've never once been messaged by someone that was still interested in talking to me once I made it clear they were never going to get sex out of me. You won't get sex out of my puppy either, so I don't expect to find either of us any new friends here. And I think that's kinda sad, but what do you expect, it's a sleazy internet dating site with quizzes, right?

P.S. IF I STALKED YOU it's probably because one you stalked one of my friends and she told the girls and we all went to check you out and judge your worthiness. If that makes you insecure, you should turn off the stalking feature thing. It's what girls DO.

Being Angyl.

Hey, it's not as easy as it looks.

My laughter! And bounce, bounce, bounce.

People sometimes think I'm gay, because I'm a butchy sort of androgynous and don't tend to act very interested unless I've specifically made up my mind to do so.

I'm very socially comfortable, and my wit tends to be immediately apparent. I am a "long link" gateway; that is to say, I know a lot of diverse "hub people". I'm one of those people that can pick up the phone or go to my computer and swiftly find a reliable answer to any random question by connecting to the approrpiate expert. Or I can walk into some huge group of seeming strangers and have people going, "Hey Angyl!" and picking me out of the crowd. This is one of my absolute greatest superpowers.

(A) Wow, I need to think about this. I read a great deal, but rarely revisit books the way I do the other items in this query. (B) Directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Terry Gilliam, Kevin Smith, Jan Svankmajer, Darren Aronofsky, Jules Bass, David Cronenberg, Screenwriters such as: Osamu Tezuka, Masakazu Katsura, Charlie Kaufman, musicals, Disney animation. I tend to see actors more like elements of mixed media, and thus I like them when the director uses them well. (C) I have very diverse and eclectic taste in music. Yes, I know everyone says this, but I actually mean it. I am attempting to pare down from ~1500 CDs. The universal response from browsing even whatever happens to be loaded on my iPod at any time consistently results in a reaction of, "OK, I only recognize about 20% of these, and wow when you said you had eclectic taste, you sure meant it didn't you!" (D) Mmm food. I'm a big fan of really fabulous food. I'll do things like eat at every single sushi place in town to find the best. I also like Thai, Greek, pasta, and lots and lots of cheese. I'm a sick sad daily cherry coke addict, and I like to make my own blends of coffee in a french press. Food, like sleep, is one of those things that I enjoy so much in part because I don't seem to need as much of it as most other people.

My constant mental soundtrack, good nutritious food, something to write stuff down on, kickass people, new things to learn, and teh lazyweb!

Yeah, I do.

[I'm taken. Sorry guys. I've flipped all the settings I can in OKC short of deleting my account and it still seems to make me show up on matches and stuff. Yeah, I think you should complain about it too!]

There's such a thing as a typical Friday night?

(Actually, Friday is specifically designated as my non-typical night. I might work late to close up a major project, or stay home and surf the web or watch a movie, or go out drinking on the town with friends, or drive up to the hills and hike around under the moon, or read a book, or work on whatever side project has been exciting me the most lately.)

I really only signed up for the quizzes. I love making new friends, but I don't even really have much time for that unless somebody really catches my attention big time.

Girls are cute and fun to snog too and all, but Relationship-wise, I'm functionally straight.

I find directness and clarity sexy. If there's something you want to know, ask it, and be prepared for an honest answer.

[UPDATE: Currently "off the market." Thanks for playing. JUST HERE FOR THE QUIZZES.]
