Does Homestarrunner count?

Capricorn

Ouch. I'm so amazing it hurts.

I'm funny and easy-going. I'd rather be at a party then at a bar, especially on weekends (big crowds at mediocre bars perplex me).

I'm either a clever artist or a creative intellectual, depending on who you ask.

I have a degree in fine arts, and just look where it's gotten me. I'm usually reading at least three books. I can do a really good Irish accent. Burning Man changed my life. I don't use pencils if I can help it. I'm currently enrolled in acupuncture school (part-time). Hmmm. What else...?

I've been writing a novel for the past two (read: six) years and I'm not even on page fifty-one. Oh, and I'm a fount of useless trivia, and a former professional pirate (At Six Flags, not, you know, the high seas). I'm double-jointed and I sunburn easily. I can cook and I can dance, but I usually wait for special occasions. I giggle when I'm nervous.

I'm fairly sarcastic, but I'm not careless with other people's feelings; I have a hard outer shell and a warm gooey center. I really appreciate directness.

To be even-handed I should mention that I have my flaws. I sometimes confuse style with substance. I fall in love too easily, and am, consequently, a fairly guarded person. I can be super dorky. I tend to respond to passive aggression with aggressive aggression. Sometimes I think I'm being funny when I'm just being mean. Sorry.

Probably someone just like you. If only there was some way we could get in touch with each other....

Otherwise, I'd like to meet:

Someone with whom to wax intellectual.
Someone to watch cartoons with.
Someone who wants to explore new ways to waste time.
Someone to call in the middle of the afternoon for no good reason.
Someone who can teach me new things.
Someone generally wicked-awesome.
