age: 29 (Jan 01, 1983)
MEMBER SINCE: June 2005
occupation: Vagabond (freelance)
stats: Bushwylita Olympic Contender (withdrawn due to sternum injury)
fantasy: I have seminal fantasies. Like Lord of the Rings. Seminal. I like etymology, too.
crush: She knows who she is. Hello, lovely !
into: Chinese Martial Arts, TCM (and Systema) / dietetics / Lego / reading & writing / console gaming, game design / social theory / criminology / political science (a little...) / social psychology / film / Japanese!
gets me hot: cuddling on a couch under blankets / long and stripey socks / girls in beanies / people who can learn through thought alone
makes me sad: Interesting people who think they're boring / lack of self knowledge / aggressive extroversion / self serving mendacity, especially if it's not deliberate /
body mods: I had my teeth whitened once. Fucking lost the job to some 'Kofi Annan' guy, though. Nepotism wins every time.
most humbling moment: Having my hopes dashed, just when I thought it couldn't happen again. Certain mistakes won't be repeated..
I think I owe somebody 20 Things About Me that nobody else knew. I'm sure she's lovely, or I wouldn't have remembered. That's not strictly true, but I'm fucked if I'll find any other way to work in a veiled compliment this early in the day. The list will grow as I think of more stuff.
1) I have a phobia of balloons. It seems not to apply when they're the helium filled kind.
2) I like to sleep in the car on the way home, because it reminds me of when I was little.
3) I like to take long night-walks on my own, with no destination in mind. I prefer to be alone, or to be in the company of one other, and not talk.
4) I think I honestly prefer holding hands to kissing.
5) Choc-mint Ice Magic is my kryptonite.
6) I absolutely cannot stand anybody who has trouble spelling in his or her own langauge. Do these people also miss their mouths when they eat? For fuck's sake!
7) My darkest shame is that sometimes I secretly wish I was popular and attractive instead of a nerd.
8) I wish I had a deeper technical understanding of the sciences, but I'm scared to try, because it might take me on a radically different path in life, and I can't stand the risk of indecision.
9) I have a mild allergy to celery.
10) In highschool, a girl I knew asked me out for a joke. The idea was that nobody would want to go out with me, so the fact I said 'okay' was made all the more amusing. I hope she dies having never known love.
11) I am incredibly punctual, to the point that I often arrive so early I go and do something else, then wind up being late.
12) I don't think I'll ever buy a car - I'm going to choose work based on the availability of public transport. The thing is -- I can't be sure if this is because of a moral conviction, or only...
