About Me

as a friend once wrote,

"[loxocele] really likes soy chai. Like, a lot. She also likes bugs. If it has antennae, she's all about it, and would probably cuddle with it, other than the fact that she'd probably squish it (it being a bug, after all). She makes weird noises, and hisses when annoyed.

"Also, she can kill you with her brain."

My Interests

poking the creatures. good food and drink. late-night conversations. smoking on fire escapes. singing arias on silent streets. recreational flirting. other living things. staring at the sea/sky/stars. making love to the universe. making tasty food. making random art. making just about anything. daydreaming as an addiction. writing constantly. traveling everywhere. running amuck and/or getting into trouble. being a recluse. being a socialite. going to shows (just about *any* shows, really) . wandering for wandering's sake. talking through the sunrise. skinnydipping, especially under a full moon or northern lights. little pockets of manic bliss. getting high on sunlight. getting backrubs (other than from people who are nonconsentually sketchy) . undarwinian predilections. moments that burn themselves onto one's brain. moments of unexpected interpersonal connection. girly boys and boyish girls. C 2 H 5 OH, baby. brunch, brunching, and walking to brunch. tinkering with shite. people who smell good. the beauty of being completely ADD.

I'd like to meet:

"the mad ones," obviously.
people who find me intimidating, but only rarely act like it - because if i really like you, i'm likely doing the same thing.
people who party like rockstars, but can still hold down a job.
people who give a damn.
more Giant Somerville Sidewalk Slugs.

cognitive epilogue
