Marnanel graph of my friend-of since April '03

What to do if I'm twitching

I give great professional massages. Want one?

Who am I?

The name I go by is Sai Emrys. The name the government knows me as is Ilya Starikov. If you have met me since 2001 or so, you probably know me by the former (and I prefer you use it). Neither of them is "my name", however; I don't have one, though the glyph is vaguely close.

I have been called variously a student, nomad, hacker (not cracker), scholar, empath, genius, pianist, linguist, programmer, photographer, meta-alchemist, vegetarian (recovering) zombie, moon-baffle 3rd class, pong, ordained minister, gnostic, aikidoka, orgonist, fiercely loyal friend, kittenish pseudoduck, anomaly, eccentric, trained massage therapist, conlanger, sapiosexual, Discordian, bisexual, polyamorist, teetotaler, non-smoker, agnostic, geek, cat, cat ownee, cognitive scientist, ASL signer, idiosyncratic meditator, rationalist, humanist, backpacker, costumer, self-gendered, outspoken 'silent type', musician, pianist, harpsichordist, Iron Chef WTF, hedonist, polyglot, poet, and just generally a "unique" person.

If you want to friend me, go ahead. FWIW, I usually only friend people who are my friends in real life. But I'm happy to make new ones; that's what conversation is for, so ping me sometime for IM or tea.

Other useful things:

I moderate [info]empaths (woo), [info]academic_empath (empirical) and [info]dot_empathsnark (snarky).

I like constructed languages. I made [info]conlangs, taught [info]conlangs_decal (twice - videos), run the Language Creation Conference, founded the Language Creation Society (soon to be nonprofit corp), and am sporadically working on the Conlang Books Project, a thesis-in-progress about non-linear fully 2-dimensional writing system design, and an essay on the design of an ideal language.

I run an FTP on my computer. If you want my music or other stuff, let me know and I'll make you an account.
