Well, what about me? I'm a painter. actor, sometime model, singer/lyricist, writer, multimedia artist + educator. I have an EdM from Harvard and a BFA from MassArt, but I downplay the former because I'm not big on self-importance. I prefer the Herald to the Globe, and the Phoenix to either.
If you wanna know more you can check out my website —
www.markhanser.com — and my myspace page
www.myspace.com/lionboy. I know I would. But that's just me.
You can also send me a message; I'll answer, I promise! (I'm not here as much as I'd like; server + browser problems :(
 You play it so cool, your crushes don’t even know you’re crushing on them – but somehow, they can’t get you off their minds.
The more common name for this flirt technique is “playing hard to get.” (Forgive us for going for the more obscure but devastatingly cooler name of “extreme cool”). It’s an age-old technique that works pretty great and keeps your vulnerability levels nice and low. Just be sure that you make your move at some point. Getting your crush to think you’re cool is only half the battle. The other half is getting them to date you.

Interests
Art, music + magic in all their forms. I have a very esoteric brain. The mainstream world has little meaning for my molten gothic heart.
My favorite color is purple. My favorite flavors are chocolate + caramel. I believe in faeries. I'm very turned on by piercings and tattoos. I love women on top. I'm also a pro-feminist male who's a lifetime member of NOW. I despise concrete. I love roses. And sometimes the Red Sox.

I've become very enamored with the music of Mali. Indie rock and internet radio - my salvation from corporation. Among my local Boston faves the Dresden Dolls and the Dropkick Murphys. Good Lord! - salon to saloon! - sometimes there's nothing more fun than having a few and slam-dancing at a Dropkick Murphys gig! I'm an eclectic dude. And my pal Matt S., a great guitarist, a fine motorist, an expert blogger, and a great American, who praises my cardamom-and-cinnamon-laden Scandinavian coffee like no one else!

I like movies with naked women too. Happy, consesual, hungry lust. Romping in the forest or crouching in the desert. Whatever.
