This is cheating.

Having a kiki with a friend while complaining about online dating, I decided to reactivate my OKCupid account.

Since we're on a "what changed?" type of groove, let's continue that trend. ...Well, not much since I was last there. I didn't take a terribly long time looking at my answers because of that. Same goes for my profile.

P-P-P-Profile?

Alright, copy-pasting paragraphs wholesale would be cheating on the Bloganuary. Besides, that stuff on my site anyway. Here's some notable stuff:

• Worst Quality: Organizing Things I Probably Shouldn't
• I have #NPCEnergy and I've really been leaning into it, to the point of startling people
• I have no idea what to do on Friday nights; so it depends
• The Good Place is my cheer-me-up show
• Spyro the Dragon is the retro game that defines me
• ROBOTECH defines my childhood. And on further reflection, Studio Ghibli perhaps.
• Teebs is still the soundtrack of my life
• Best part of cooking? The presentation. (and eating it)
• Scrabble
• also, #90sKid much nostalgia
• also also, I love seafood and my steak medium-rare
• Hej, I have tattoos now.

And I'm reminded of my dream job, aww

... I'm always interested in how information is displayed and how it can reach more people.

And fun fact: The highest match possible with me is 100%, and I have answered 220 questions publicly. I think that's because a lot of my answers were "meh, whatever actually," and I just filled them in for fillin' in's sake.

What about the dating stuff?

I love a good coffee date. Or, as it's been lately, a tea date. Boba tea date. It's chill, a bit fun-- but it's still a date.

I want the comfy seats, giant menu, and acoustics that doesn't make me feel like I need to run away screaming (unfortunately, a lot of coffee places have terrible acoustics). While I have some favorites I keep in the backpocket, if I'm feeling spicy I'll flip a coin to take my date somewhere unfamiliar. If it's great? GREAT! If it's a bad miss, maybe we can bond over how much it sucked.

Give me the damn tea. What were the matches like?

Well... at least I can tweak things so only queer non-monogamous people show up in my stack. And most of them are also trans/non-binary!

First person in my stack was still a friggin' white guy, tho.

Next was someone I already knew.

Next was a current partner. I sent them a super-like, because I'm supportive like that.

Everyone else? I didn't feel confident in the OLD thing enough to do more than send two likes.

Well, that was fun. Deactivate, whatever.
