About Me

I am working and living in and around downtown Washington, DC and enjoying it a lot. I've made great friends, have family nearby and travel when I can. I just really like working and living in this endlessly interesting city that is connected to so many other great places around the East Coast.. The first things people usually notice about me is I'm, um, not very subtle. A well intentioned friend decried this: "People like mystery, they like the thrill of the chase. They will appreciate you more if they think they have to work harder to get you. Think of gay men as a pack of wolves. You're the Limpy Elk." I pointed out that in fact wolves would specifically pursue Limpy Elk, because it was much less effort to capture and turn into baby wolves. Somehow, this did not convince him of my universal allure. Clearly he must have misunderstood my argument. Speaking of arguments and a lack of subtlety, I am a loud and verbose gentledude. Apparently my extended answer to the "how many continents are there" question inspired a friend to make a metafilter post about okcupid profiles, which is now the first thing that a significant percentage of my profile visitors first notice about me. Which is flattering? Hi, Mostly Straight and Female Metafilter People!!! ...otherwise, people notice my height. I stopped growing in Seventh Grade.. I'm good at running, cycling, yoga, hiking, putting my body to use, overdetermination... and making up words. diy; i'm currently working on some fall inspired spiced apple, pear and pumpkin butter recipes; and honing my knitting skills, both of which i inherited from my grandmother. in fact i can be incredibly grandmotherly. sexy, no?
