I'm 23 and currently live in Berkeley with my primary. I'm seeing some not entirely clear number of secondary people ≥ 2. Sometimes I write things. I cook delicious pescetarian foods. I have absurdly long hair and a collection of many bandanas to keep it tied back. I read and speak very quickly. I hope one day to own a king snake which I will name Periapt of Proof Against Poison and habitually wear around my neck. I wear jewelry-esque digital watches, which are hard to find, and have a few of them (all made by the same person). I used to play the piano and the flute but don't really do that anymore. I hate moving, but I'm turning out to be really bad at staying put. I have inappropriately strong opinions about trivial topics (hair dye, midnight being at twelve instead of one, corn syrup, etc). I like musicals and snowtubing and windy weather and flannel and Renaissance faires and cute animal pictures.

Is this more or less the sort of thing we're supposed to do here? I feel boring saying all of that without having been asked more direct specific questions.

THIS! Yes, this is exactly right! Thank you, thank you!

You seem like a wonderfully interesting person. Not at all boring! This is perfect :)

You know, one of the things I originally liked about the LW community was that even though it wasn't a poly-specific group, that people were still able to be relatively open about it. It would be like joining a book club and finding out that people are generally ok with poly there. I'm poly as well, with no current primary, and about 3 secondaries (I hate that term, though...), one of which is moving to Texas in a month where his fiancee got a job. Once that happens, I highly doubt I'll get to 3 again, since I like to see anyone I'm dating at least once a week.
