About Me

I like colours. Paints and pencils. I love bubbles. I like order. I like chaos. I laugh readily (or too much). I am sometimes more perceptive than I like to be. I hide more than I seek. I have demons. I am critical, self and otherwise. I like pleasure. I like pain. I am not as direct as I want to be. Nor as tactful. I like writing. But it pains me to grapple my words into submission. I do not submit easily. I like strawberries. And cream. I am capable of being really mean and nasty, but I fight it. Hard. I want to be less hedonistic. Less nocturnal. Less impulsive. But. I seem to be quite unable to delay gratification. I dream frequently and vividly. I am 32 flavours. And then some.

My Interests

I read compulsively. I can match that only by how I listen to music. I don't write enough. I take too many pictures. I play too little pool. I like people. In doses.

I'd like to meet:

You say only what you mean. You do what you say you will. You make me laugh (which really is too easy). You make me think. You have strong opinions about music. You have opinions. You think words are everything. You think words are never enough. Pick any of the above.
