I am loving, driven, and contemplative.

My Self-Summary

I'm a creative person, and writing is my passion, though sometimes it's hard for me to get inspired lately. Once I get going, though, I can keep up my momentum until I forget what time it is. I have a day job as a problem-solving computer programmer that I've sometimes compared to playing Myst for a living, though the comparison is increasingly tenuous. I majored in Asian Studies at Bard College (class of 06), but I don't use the knowledge much outside of my writing (please, feel free to get me talking about it, and to suggest good books if that's your thing). I don't smoke/drink anymore but I don't care if you do--I'll hang out in a bar and buy ginger ales all night.

I live in pleasantly-quiet Woodside, Queens and can reach "hot" places like Astoria or Williamsburg in 10 minutes or so. I'm in a transitional phase. I'd love to meet new friends and would be very eager to date the right person. Ask me anything.

What I’m doing with my life

Self-publishing my stories and trying to figure out a good way to get them noticed. Go to http://www.sk-sg.com if you want to know more about that...actually, it's probably a better snapshot of me than any profile could ever be.

Day job, trying to convince myself to work out, blah blah blah.

I’m really good at

Video games (or videogames if you follow the Penny Arcade spelling), language, storytelling, creative problem-solving.

The first things people usually notice about me

I've been told that I seem to think I'm a different sort of person than I actually am...I'm not too sure what to make of that, but it might explain the disconnect between some of my "personality awards" below and what I think the reality is. "More lawful" is a joke; I may obey laws, but I openly scorn authority. "Less giving" is hurtful; I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the needs of others, and my family would be lost without me. "Less independent"...really? Just because I want a relationship? I'm the only one of my peers to have his own, unshared apartment *and* a steady/prestigious day job. "More pure"?! I'm kinky as hell, but none of the matching questions reference anything I'm into (now there's something to ask me about). At least the artistic/literary stuff is accurate.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

(A) Anything by Jonathan Lethem, certain comics (Shortpacked!, Achewood, Jeff Smith's Bone and RASL), bad movie reviews, strangely enough (Roger Ebert is an obvious favorite), and, in general, whatever catches my eye (the last book I read was Fires by Nick Antosca).

(B) I'm really more of a TV person; I don't usually have the time or the company to watch movies (though I've always loved Dark City and was all about Latter Days at one point, which should tell you my range). Right now, I'm following LOST with a group of people, and I also enjoy Fringe, House, The Office, 30 Rock, and of course the Fox cartoons. I used to watch anime a lot but I havne't found a series I like in a while.

(C) Coheed and Cambria, video game music, older Thursday, Something Corporate, 80s music, Fall Out Boy, mixes I've made....

(D) Roast, grilled or Cajun chicken, grilled salmon, potatoes in various forms, *decent* pizza, cheddar Goldfish, pasta, and so on. I can cook most of the things I like.

The six things I could never do without

(1) My friends; (2) my family; (3) my computer; (4) a home; (5) my mind; (6) confidence

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The past and the future.

On a typical Friday night I am

Lately, I just collapse from the strain of my work week. Either that or writing something. I do go out, but it's not usually on Friday.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I have a nearly-photographic memory. It impresses some people and creeps others out.

You should message me if

You're a hot nerd, haha.

Okay, obviously I have put the lie to the idea that I respond to every message I receive (though I *am* going to try and be better about that). In my defense, I haven't properly logged in for months...my inbox was full of nice hellos that I didn't even realize I'd gotten. But I'm tired of waiting around for a boyfriend and I'm even more tired of being a doormat. So message me if you (a) think I'm cute, or (b) think I would be fun to talk to (ideally both), and we'll see where it goes.
