About Me

When it's raining, I like books better than people. Once I moped at least an hour each day, but now I lift weights and eat protein instead. I dance and I drink and sometimes I smoke, but I like best of all to stay home and drink many pots of tea. I read a lot of books and I cook delicious, weird food. I spend a lot of time playing plot driven videogames. I spent the first 10 years of my life in a small village in Poland and some people seem to think that this is important to know about me. I lived in New York for five years and I still miss it. I was the president of the NYU Science Fiction and Fantasy Club. I go on quests and long walks, preferably alone. I am fond of cephalopods. I am fierce. I kill zombies. My celebrity look-alike is Shion Uzuki from Xenosaga.

My Interests

books, octopuses, being a shut-in, tea, scientists, weightlifting, kettlebells, powerlifting, powernoise, meditation, poetry (but not yours), wallace stevens, german, russian, udon, knitting, kittens, eugene gendlin, golden gate park, really nice shoes, toy cupcakes, feminism

I'd like to meet:

I seek kittens, people who lift weights, writers who are not into self-expression, people who like trips, lapsed catholics, and local people who have kittens that I can play with. My housing situation precludes getting my own kitten, and so I have to settle for rented or borrowed cats and kittens. I'm really really totally serious about kittens. I will come see your crappy band if kittens are involved!

I've decided to institute a pretty easy going policy about adding "friends". As long as your profile doesn't make my browser crash, I'll probably add you. But on the other hand I've taken a quick trigger finger approach to deleting "friends" too. If you post a bulletin that's actually one of these dumb chain-mail things where you have to send this immediately to 300 people or weasels will eat your toes when you sleep, I will delete you immediately. That shit is so 1996. Also if you ever warn me about gay people putting hamsters in my butt or cellphones causing gas stations to explode or the new rape-sterilization drug or anything that you could just check on snopes.com, I will delete you immediately.

Kittens

I'm not kidding about the kittens. If you live in San Francisco, and have kittens that need cat-sitting, I am your woman.
