Optimistic, funny, cheerfully sarcastic, and if I'm not careful I'll go on and on about the latest bizarre topic that fascinates me. Due to the fact that I hang out with awesome radicals and weirdos, when I descend into the mundane world I frequently hear "that's so cool, where do you get all this stuff?" I get combative when presented with dogmatism or new age, but if you don't go there neither will I. I have one very amicable divorce and I'm childfree. I'm not into sports, dancing or music much, but I like conversation, games, books and theater. I participate in running all-volunteer not-for-profit science fiction conventions. On Yudkowsky's Future Shock Scale I rate a 3.
