A few vaguely relevant factoids about me: I'm introverted, a bit Goth, little Geeky and my Myers-Briggs Personality Type is INTJ.

Some people consider me to be shy when they meet me, some have found me a little stand-offish and distant but occasionally people have met me and thought I was sociable and talkative. It all depends how well I 'click' with a person and what we are talking about. :o)

I try to be positive about life and prefer people who are the same. I like to make the most of life and to enjoy myself as much as possible. If I am happy I want to enjoy it and if I am sad I want to be in a happy atmosphere to cheer myself up. It seems natural to be down every now and then but I don't think it's good to dwell endlessly on problems that can't be fixed or to not make the most of bad situations.

I am also polyamorous; I date and develop romantic relationships with more than one person at a time under the mutual agreement that they can do the same.

Feel free to check out my website - http://www.skeletalroses.co.uk/. It doesn't have a lot on it, but it does have links to my other profiles, photo galleries, and journals.

I graduated from a philosophy degree at Southampton University back in 2007. I've not been doing anything particularly special or interesting work-wise since then... just doing temp work and trying to earn enough money to maintain my lifestyle whilst saving at the same time :o)

In my spare time I enjoy a lot of different things. As well as the usual nights in with friends, parties and nightclubs I also enjoy LAN parties, board games, roleplay-games and wargames :o)

I spend the vast majority of my free time with Myzari.

I'm not very good at waving my own flag; I'd rather show off by demonstration rather than idle boasting. That way you can make your own mind up. Humility is something I like in other people too.

I like to think I'm quite intelligent. I'm not always a top marks student (only achieved a 2.i (hons) at university) but within my own fields of interests I do well. Logic modules at university always seemed easy and I quite enjoy discussing most things (preferably pleasantly rather than in online flame wars though)

There probably are a list of other things that I'm good at, but I'm not really willing to enumerate them, so I will leave this be.

For a lot of people it would be something physical; my long hair or perhaps my dress-sense. Having said that, most people I interact with socially wouldn't see either as much special.

First impressions of me as a person vary depending on how quickly we hit things off. Some people see me as cold when they first see me but others as talkative and confident. Either way I'm told I can be hard to 'read' so there's a definite 'getting to know me' stage when meeting me.

I spend a lot of time lost in thought. This may be idle fantasy, or imagined conversations, or occasionally something more intellectual and/or philosophical.

I spend a lot of time fleshing out sci-fi/fantasy stories in my head; I have a very active imagination and a somewhat rich 'inner-world' that not everyone understands. It's easy to get lost there.

Possibly not surprising that I enjoy roleplay games given the above.

Varies.

Friday nights tend to be nights in with Myzari as I tend to go clubbing on Saturday nights, but it really does depend on what's going on around me.

I'm friend-seeking, so if you're looking to add to your social network, then that's good.

I'm especially interested to get to know anyone who likes to go clubbing at alt music events, especially if they live near me or are likely to travel that way. If that's you, feel free to send me a message :o)

Geeks are very welcome as well. I played a lot more geek games at university but now I just don't know that many people who are eager to sit down and play long games of Risk or Necromunda with me :oP

I'm sure lots of people would prefer to chat with me online before saying hello to me at a club or sitting down to play a board game with me, which is fine and I like doing that as well. If you're looking for something to chat about then any shared interest or hobby is good. I tend to get deeply involved with conversations involving ethics or political philosophy but I can always try to keep it light for the sake of okcupid. :oP

I hate to be negative, but it's worth saying... if you're overtly and unapologetically sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, anti-feminist or anti-PC then it's unlikely that we will get along. (note: I take PC to mean 'avoiding the use of unnecessarily offensive language' or something similar)

I've put up a summary post of my politics for anyone interested. :o)
