I am geeky, obsessive, and wonky.
My Self-Summary
I graduated from college a few years ago (with a major in
English and minors
in Women's and Asian Studies, most useless degree ever!) and I'm
scared out of my pants about having to act like a grown-up now.
See, my pants are
all the way over there.
A few words of warning about me and dating ('cause c'mon, no one's
here for the punch & pie): I think
casual dating is silly. I like to be pretty good friends with
people before I have make-outs with them. I'm highly
paranoid about letting new people get to know me. That means that
I do not want to meet you in person. Hard to believe, I'm
sure, but I encourage you to make a belief effort!
You've met me at a very strange time in my life. Be considerate of
that, and I, in turn, will refrain from dispensing nutpunches.
What I’m doing with my life
Editing for a medical journal, missing the kids I knew in Florida,
rocking out in my car, being in an actual relationship for once,
delighting in the weirdness of my friends & family, dreaming of
the day that I'll own furniture not made of particleboard, and
questing for ever-increasing fabulousness.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm not tall, I laugh at everything, and I have the
boobs that ate Manhattan.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I tend to like silly sci-fi & horror, dark comedy, schlock,
clever use of language, genre-bending, gender-bending, and stuff
created by crazy women;
The Fifth Element, Bradbury's
Something Wicked This Way Comes, Beagle's
The Last
Unicorn, the
Silent Hill game series, things published
by
Vertigo
comics,
Buffy & most other things
Whedon,
The Big Lebowski,
Moulin Rouge, and
Titus are a few of my favorite
things. I also dig musicals and old cookbooks, have been known to
rock out to stuff
by artists like Fiona Apple and Flogging Molly, and am an absolute
fiend for
pad
thai, berries (including tomatoes and eggplants), and most
other edible things that are fresh and tasty.
Currently obsessing over:
The
Coming Storm, Buffy Season 8, and Sex and the City. p.s. I am
NOT a Charlotte kthx.
The six things I could never do without
Caffeine, food every three hours or so, intraweb access, friends to
squee over dorky stuff with, dorky stuff, notebook & pen
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Zombies, sex,
finances,
baked
goods, how totally awesome light is, characters who argue with
each other a lot secretly boinking behind the scenes.
On a typical Friday night I am
Grabbing dinner & drinks somewhere, catching a movie, and/or
generally geeking out with friends. Possibly even sleeping! Under
ideal circumstances I'd be playing
Halo or pretending to be able to dance at
an
80's
night.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Occasionally I'm an alien being called HYPERCOLR! (the exclamation
point is an important part of the name), friend of the
Killer Robots, assistant
to Pleasurebot5000, and promotions extraordinaire.
You should message me if
You're bored? Or if you understand that the world would be awesomer
if it were socially acceptable to use plasma grenades to end
unpleasant conversations, or if you never really grew out of
playing dress-up and are comfortable with that. I dunno. I guess if
you're geeky and looking for a new casual friend.
I turned off woos, suckah. I've got complete faith in you as a
human to have something more interesting to say than "woo."
You probably shouldn't message me if: you're going to
take it personally if I don't happen to feel like
answering/chatting with/hanging out with you zomfg immediantly, or
possibly at all ever. If you can't understand my needing time and
space to myself, OR that answering email from strangers on a social
site probably isn't my super-highest priority in life, you probably
wouldn't like me, and, more pivotally, I really wouldn't like you.
