into: Good times. Imaginative, ernest chat. Being kind. Stupid humour (from Viz: "Employers: avoid recruiting unlucky people simply by immediately throwing away half the CVs/resumes".)

not into: Conservative people. Religious or superstitious dogma and other nonsensical lies.

makes me happy: Clothes lines (a lovely fusion of family life, nature doing the job of a tumble dryer and the frisson of naughtiness when the lingerie is on there). And sunsets, gorgeous full lunar eclipses (one due this December apparently) etc.

makes me sad: The environment dying. Annoying people who stand in the queue in the shop while their partner/friend/kid continues to bring more shopping to them (EDIT: last week someone even went further and basically 'reserved' their place ahead of me with a bag of half-price crisps while they continued shopping ... then jumped back in front of me). How TV adverts/commercials are so much louder than the actual shows, presumably because the cockhead marketing people think we are all away making cups of tea during these breaks. Very credulous, non-skeptical views especially a lot of religion stuff etc.

hobbies: Skepticism, miniature / tabletop wargaming, guitar, film.

5 things i can't live without: Great chat. My huge bird table that's always covered in happy-looking birds (EDIT: or WAS until I've had to empty it a bit to deter the ever-increasing tribes of squirrels). Humour. Computer. Skepticism.

vices: Naughty mind. Diet Coke to excess. Trying to put people straight and being annoyingly ernest.

thoughts on sg: I like it

i spend most of my free time: Daydreaming.

 

occupation: Public relations.

current crush: I still rather like Konnie Huq from Blue Peter. But apparently sh's going to marry Charlie Brooker. Charlie is awesome so they're a good couple. I need to buy a collander and some wires, put them on my head, then attempt a 'mind transfer' with him.

stats: My tats?

heroes: Fun artists (Charles Bukowski, Bruce Campbell). People who make a difference (especially lefties/greenies). Cary Grant (his persona, not necessarily his real life).

gets me hot: Confident, opinionated women. Pleated skirts (perv!). Unusual scenarios.Feeling hungover (true - I just feel sort of swimmy, vulnerable and seducable).

favorite position: Woman on top. Actually I suppose I'm flexible. Well, not 'flexible' - but you know what I mean!

fantasy: I'm digging back into my brain's archive regarding this right now. For example I'm watching old sci-fi series Blake's 7 and it's becoming genuinely obvious how much my very early sexual development was based on the portrayal of women in that, especially regaridng the frosty lady Servolan.

sign: Skeptic.

most humbling moment: Seeing that total lunar eclipse. It was like a giant concrete ball hanging there and looked like it should be falling out of the sky. I felt like I understood how ancient people felt about the heavens. Realising that childish silliness has a serious , permanent role to play even in adult life.

i lost my virginity: In a playing field next to the swings, which were moving and squeaking in the wind.

CIGARETTES: Nope

MY DIET: Omnivore

ALCOHOL: I am a complete drunkard

MY DRUG USE: Drug Free

I AM LOOKING FOR: a woman

MY KINK FACTOR: I'll try anything once, especially if you beg for it.

MY POLITICS: Bleeding-heart Liberal

POT: Occasionally

MY STATUS: single

MY IDEA OF A GOOD TIME: Bars, afterparties, home by dawn.

MY PIGEONHOLES: Arty, Bookworm, Geek
