I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Tall, dark and bitter... kinda like my coffee. Been shacked up in State College now for quite a few years. I'm looking for (preferably) nocturnal folks to spend time with (when I'm not busy being antisocial, that is).Common interests a plus, but not required: electronic music (darkambient-drone, IDM, industrial...), psycho-spiritual-mythology, gourmet food, coffee, wine, beer, unusual mixed drinks ( sake-tinis and thai-pirinhas are my new favorite things), swimming, brooding...(O.o) Actually, one of my favourite things to do is to make someone tea or cook for them.
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name? Sc'Eric /SKAE-rik/
Birthday? I don't celebrate birthdays--yours, mine or anyones. This is a spiritual thing to me, and not something I like to discuss. If it is strange to you, please get over it.
Birthplace? Hanover, PA
Current Location? (+40.81521°,-77.88131°)
Eye Color? Blue-gray
Height? 6'1"
Natural Hair Color? Brown
Right- or Left-handed? Right handed (for most things except puppets)
Heritage? Germanic/PA-Dutch, English, Native American
Shoes Worn Today: Doc Martens--black Triumph 1460s.
The Perfect Pizza? Wheat crust, alfredo sauce, chicken, roasted red peppers, spinach, black olives, mushrooms, red onions, garlic, spices....
Goal To Achieve This Year? I'd like to get a new car that will take me through the apocalypse of 2012... And find someone I can be serious about. (I'm tired of the incompatible people I meet in smoke-free bars.)
Most Overused IM Phrase? byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
First Thoughts Upon Waking? Is it still light outside?
Best Physical Feature? The way my body hugs yours as we're lying next to one another.
Bedtime? Depends on what I'm doing in bed... but if you mean sleeping, then about 8am.
Most Missed Memory? Gosh, I forget....
Pepsi or Coke? Jolt, baby: "All the sugar and twice the caffeine!"
MacDonalds or Burger King? It used to be Sheetz for chicken strips (before they discontinued horseradish as a condiment) or Steak Schmiscuits (before they discontinued cooked onions). Now, if I'm doing fast-food, it's Wendy's for a triple (w/ cheese, mayo, pix and tomatoes) or Spicy Chicken (w/ cheese, pickles and hot chili oil!)
Lipton or Nestea? Pp-leeease! I drink real tea, thank you: Ying-ming Yunnan black tea... Lapsang-souchong smoked tea... WuYi Oolong... Dragon Pearl jasmine tea.
Chocolate or Vanilla? That would depend... Bittersweet chocolate on it's own, or Vanilla with other things.
Cappuccino or Coffee? Espresso: doppio ristretto... unless it's Cheese Shoppe coffee by W.C.Clarke, then either espresso or coffee will do!
Do You Smoke? No. In fact, I have multiple allergies to tobacco smoke. I used to smoke a pipe, until my allergies got the best of me.
Do you Swear? I've discovered that what I call swearing and what other people call swearing are two different things. I try not to swear AT people, but I have no problem using colloquialisms (eg. "shitty") in my speech.
Do you Sing? Don't get me wrong, I can probably hold a tune. But most of the time, why ruin a good song with singing? The music should be able to stand on its own.
Shower Daily? Undoubtedly, at least once a day... long, hot showers are my key to warmth and sanity.
Been in Love? Once, and it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. But I don't think that'll be the only time... at least I hope not!
College? Been there, done that. Sold the t-shirt.
Marriage? In a manner of speaking, I think legal marriage is for chumps. If you really care about someone--unless you have kids--why do you need a legal contract with them? Partners should be separate, but equal--if you'll pardon the expression. Everyone should have equal access to tax breaks, married or not. Spiritual/religious freedom, on the other hand--including marriage--is EVERYONE's God-given Inalienable Right (according to our Constitution, at least) and not something members of government have any business poking their nose into. (But then, the Constitution was probably thrown out the window sometime in the early 1900s with the creation of the Federal Reserve. But I digress....)
Believe in Yourself? I'm pretty sure that I exist, but that's more a matter of concensus reality. (I DO believe in faeries, I DO, I DO!) Seriously, though... it would sorta depend on what I'm doing.
Motion Sickness? Yes, when I'm sitting on the couch, really drunk... of if I'm a passenger in the back seat of most front-wheel drive cars. Don't ask. (And, yes, I know that sounds silly.)
Do You Think You're Attractive? I know I'm attractive to someone, but most other people don't have my taste in things. I've noticed I tend to get hit on the most by really hot teenage guys when I'm wearing very little at the pool. LOL But since I can't go there... God, is that frustrating!
Health Freak? I try to eat healthy: very few snack-foods, organics when possible, only grain-fed beef, and I LOVE Bolthouse Farm carrot juice!
Get Along with Your Parents? When we're not arguing about something. I loathe the day my sexuality comes up in conversation....
Thunderstorms? I LOVE thunderstorms! I think I feel the most alive when I'm out in the pouring rain in the middle of a loud storm. I also had an amazing dream once, in which--after being struck by lightning--I died, while some crazy leprechaun danced and mocked me. (I know... WTF, right?)
Play an Instrument? Yeah, instruments of doom!
Consumed Alcohol in the Past Month? Several kinds of exotic beer, a thai-pirinha, several margaritas, a Manhattan or two... What can I say, I'm a bartender, a beer snob and a borderline alcoholic. LOL
Smoked in the Past Month? Only secondhand on my VERY brief sojourns into Zeno's, before hitting Chumley's for smoke-free Tuesdays.
Taken Drugs in the Past Month? None.
Dated in the Past Month? No.
Gone to the Mall in the Past Month? Once. Why is Hot Topic the ONLY place you can buy tight, black jeans?
Eaten a Large Package of Oreos in the Past Month? Past MONTH? Try the past week! Peanut Butter Oreos are so damn addictive!
Eaten Sushi in the Past Month? No, and I miss it immensely!
Been on Stage in the Past Month? No. I don't like being center of attention, thank you.
Been Dumped in the Past Month? Let me count the ways... (Robbie! LOL)
Gone Skinny Dipping in the Past Month? The last time was on [2007.01.10+02:30]... John, Nathan and I tried to drive to Whipple Dam, but the snow was too slippery to get up the hill. So we went to Colyer Lake. When we arrived, John immediately started stripping down and got in the water up to the leg of his boxers. Nathan followed suit. I chickened out when my bare foot touched the snow. It was probably about 30°F outside!
Stolen Anything in the Past Month? A pair of unclaimed jeans from the laundry room, but I'm not sure that counts.
Ever Been Drunk? Wow. Rarely in public... There was Hallowe'en 2005 in the bathroom at Chumley's... 2 barleywines, 2 shots of tequila and a mixed drink can do that!
Ever Been Called a Tease? All the time by Magus. And Gordon. (I think they're just projecting.)
Ever Been Beaten Up? Pre-adolescence was hell.
How Would You Prefer to Die? On a motorcycle in the middle of the desert... or in my lover's arms, after a night of making love--provided we're not too dependent on one another. (I don't want him to be lonely when I'm gone.)
What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? A part of the Whole. But for now, a bartender or barista will do.
What Country Would You Most Like to Visit? 1st: the western half of the USA. 2nd: Scandanavia. 3rd: the old Mayan empire. 4th: Egypt. 5th: the Chinese pyramids. 6th: Canada.
GETTING MORE PERSONAL...
Weaknesses? The smells of chlorine, new spandex, leather, fresh dirt, cold-cellars, coconut or pine. I also love the sound of skateboard wheels on pavement.
Fears? Being alone the rest of my life... and heights.
Favourite Eye Color? Not important.
Favourite Hair Color? Blue-black, or some funky color--depends on the person.
Short or Long Hair? Long hair on Guys, short hair on Girls.
Ideal Height? either over 6'1" or under 5'10"
Ideal Weight? under 170-lbs.
Favorite Clothing Style? Cyberpunk, rivethead, goth, steam-punk, fetish-fashion.
Number of CDs I Own? I can't imagine, but I'm sure they will form the center of a black hole someday...
Favourite Style Of Music? Darkambient and Tribal-industrial.
Single or Group Dates? Single dates, group sex... yeah right, like that would ever happen! LOL
Number of Piercings: Currently: four (earlobes, cartilege, septum)
Number of Tattoos: None... yet =)
Number of Drugs I've Tried? Three.
Number of Things I Regret? Three.
CREATE YOUR OWN!
Take the quiz:
What is Your Personality Profile?
You are a Scientist! Scientists believe in constant growth in their relationships, and strive for independence for themselves and their partners. They are constantly engaged in 'fix-up' projects to improve the overall quality of their lives and relationships. They take their commitments seriously, but are open to redefining their vows, if they see something which may be an improvement over the existing situation. Scientists are not likely to be 'touchy-feely' or overly affectionate with their partners, and may at times be somewhat insensitive to their emotional needs. However, scientists are very capable and intelligent individuals who strive to always be their very best, and be moving in a forward direction. If they apply these basic rules to their personal relationships, they are likely to enjoy happy and healthy interaction with those around them. They are naturally compatible with: inspirers and visionaries.
