About Me

I like to sleep -- a lot; sleep is very important to me. I go out a lot, too, used to be every night of the week, but these days I'm old and boring, so it's down to 3-4 nights. I'd like to expand my repertoire of both cool places to go and cool people to go there with. I'm an atheist, but I'm not evangelically so. I'm not photogenic, these are the only pictures I can find that I don't completely hate (and I pretty much hate them too). I'm not from here, and probably won't stay here forever, but it's home for now. I am more likely to shop at Barney's than at REI. I do not like describing myself. I wish my friends did not charge so much for positive testimonials. I will never, ever, ever wear a trucker hat.

My Interests

travel, reading, vodka, beer, teasing Canadians (but I love you guys--really), bitching, downloading porn on other people's computers, sarcasm, touching girls who let me

I'd like to meet:

I'm not really hoping to find anything in particular on here, since my life is reasonably fulfilling as it is right now. But getting to know some cool new people is always nice. How to tell if I want to meet you... You're smart; you know things, and you want to know more things. (Exception: Annoying trivia buffs. You already know too much.) You don't need to drink, but you need to accept the demon alcohol as a part of my social life. You read, or at least know how to (see above) -- not necessarily the same things I do, because that could be boring, but _something_ (even if I think it's crap, feel free to convince me I'm wrong). And cute. Oh yeah, cute. (Well, at least for those looking for a date!) You like going out to clubs and shows and bars, possibly on short notice. You like going other places possibly on short notice, too, like Vancouver, Vegas (baby) or other V- places. Did I mention smart already? How about cute? Yeah, I guess that covers it. (Where _are_ all those people looking for dumb ugly losers? Other than Pioneer Square, I mean.)I welcome email from anyone who wants to chat, but please don't presume to add me as a friend if I don't know you. Also: No Bush voters. (Really.)
