I'm ambitious, creative, got some smarts, got some funnies. I'm honest and hard-working (when not distracted by this accursed Internet and all of its blasted cats). I'm logical and skeptical and I prefer the 'k' spelling of skeptic for aesthetic reasons.

I'm something of a quiet philosopher, loaded with opinions but I don't share them with just anyone. The people I feel most comfortable get access to them, but otherwise, I like to jam them into my writing.

I take morality seriously and try to live by what I believe is right, not just what's easiest or what gets me what I want. Of course, I do slip up every now and again, but I'm trying, can't say I'm not trying.

And I'm introverted. Some folks would call me "quiet," but that's mostly in group situations and with people I don't know well. When I'm comfortable with someone and we're not in a mob, I can make good talk.

Done a bit of upending recently.

Professionally, I got out of a bad situation job and am trying my hand at a mix of freelancings and part-time gigs. Doing some film work, some English teaching, some writing, some illustrating, and whatever else I can do. The ultimate target is film and writing; lofty goals, but there's not much satisfaction is pulling off easily achieved goals, now is there?

Personally, I'm trying out online dating for the first time. Let's see how that goes...

Writing, movie-related creative stuff, solving logic puzzles, teaching, and once you get to know me, a pretty good, quick sense of humour comes out.

And seeing things from lots of different angles. To the point that it can get in the way -- it's tough to form the quick opinion someone may be asking for when you're seeing so many valid perspectives on the issue. But it's probably good for writing, so I'm not gonna let it get me down. Though I do understand why it would get some people down.

My height, probably. And if my hair is long at the time, I'm sure it gets a glance or two.

Movies/TV -- Both individual items and the mediums themselves

Video Games -- More the medium than individual ones, in some ways I'm more excited by its storytelling possibilities than I am by film's

Religion/Atheism -- Religion's everywhere, so when you're not a fan but you are a ponderer, you find yourself ponderin'

My Plates -- I've got a lot of different projects happening, some for money, some for fun, some hopefully for future money, and it takes enough time just to figure out what I need to be doing at any given moment

The Future -- I'm looking forward to it

I'm not a big partier, much more likely to go to a movie or maybe just go home and do some writing. Last Friday I had friends over for a board game; I'm always up for a board game.

Ooh, or mini golf.

I'm an open book, but an open book that must be read. Ask me anything, and I'll answer. The most personal, intimate, dirty, repulsive things -- I'll tell you straight up.

Send me a message and ask me something personal. That can be the ice breaker. But I warn you, I will be honest.
