About Me

Never mind the other profiles with self-deprecating excuses citing self-indulgence. Unleash the narcisstic Andrea!She is a classical musician who hears the world crescendo in harmonic sonorities, an artistic feminist who tries terribly hard at being an altruistic advocate, a scintillating prosaist who waxes lyrical about being the lover of life and a vivacious hippy who simultaneously swoons at and condemns the concept of a compartmentalised spiritualist.Screw the third-person voice.I pretend to be an imbecile and over-compensate by being a nerdette. And I swear I was born in the wrong decade. For inexplicable reasons, there is an awkward glam to be able to say "I wore SHOULDER PADS" and have, gasp, photos. Or wear goggle-like plastic specs with the 1950s Pleasantville heart on your sleeve. Or to walk out of the house touting satin gloves and feathered hats with a 1920s chic sparkle.History and I play catch-up all the time. We try to keep it away from karma.P/S: Eve Ensler should take a hike.

My Interests

Explaining parallel universes, throwing myself shamelessly at superstring theories and saving money to buy a Holga 120CFN.

I'd like to meet:

Esoteric awareness.
Sarcastic humour.
Convicted artist.
Intellectual conversationalist.
Unflinching confidence.
Child-like sensitivity.
Steadfast honesty.

If you do not possess any of the abovementioned qualities, no worries, bring it on, as long as you are not a "hehe, u r wild n sexy. can b frenz plz" / "I never knew an angel to fly so low" / "you look like you have a lot of fun. I promise you fun. Let's have some fun"* person. Please delete where applicable and yes, I have heard the horror stories. Civil and witty one-liners are all the fad now and forever and ever amen, sweetheart. Not that you would know how to conjure up a decent one anyway. Hur hur hur. Quit being such eager beavers dropping off your e-mail addresses and mobile numbers, horkay. Aight.
