In between long, adoring gazes at my reflection, I like to make obscure, nerdy references. Things I also love: Doctor Who, bicycles, Barcelona, literacy, and flan.

(Truthfully, I tolerate the flan.)

Movies, TV Shows, Comics, Books, Subcultures. I love them all. Ask me anything. More fun: drop a reference. I love witty people.

Slowly converting the supply of O2 to CO2; the plants love me for this.

As if that weren't enough I am also working for a company in St. Louis doing some crazy IT stuff that comes with an impressive title, and an office with a view of the Arch, but the details of which would cause your eyes to glaze over. But if you've ever taken a train in this city, and it didn't crash, you're welcome.

Other things: I'm prone to taking on quests/adventures/projects/passions. Lots of them. I've varied from costume-making to climbing to biking to god knows what. I'll give you an example: I'm an ordained Reverend and I've performed 3 marriages. I'm getting pretty good actually.

Being open to new things.

If it involves machines, I can fix it. If it involves travel, I'll go. If there is an opportunity for adventure whether epic or everyday (eating strange food, for instance) I'm up for it. I'm open to new things.

I'm also quick witted. Which is no end of fun for me. I got my undergrad in Computer Science, but I have my PhD in Extemporaneous Bullshitting. It's more handy than you'd believe.

Depends.

But if I'm not wearing adult diapers... generally people tell me it's my mischievous grin. But that's only in the off chance they didn't hear me saying something first. (I tend to talk a lot.) And if they heard me they'd probably notice that I'm funny.

Also, I seem to get a lot of compliments on my calves. So that's nice.

Books: I run the gamut from classics to fluff. Recently I've read a detailed proposal to NASA about human exploration of Mars (The Case for Mars by Robert Zubrin) and The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson. But really, I like GOOD books of any genre. Make me think, make me laugh, give me ammo for future trivia contests. But since I was vague here's a few favorites:

A Song of Ice and Fire, Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Angel's Game, The Shadow of the Wind, Anathem, Snow Crash, Scott Pilgrim (vol 1-6), Sex Drugs & Coco Puffs, Perks of Being a Wallflower, World War Z, Good Omens (any Terry Pratchett actually), American Gods (any Neil Gaiman actually...), Harry Potter

Music: I'm just pulling from some of my recently played:
Santigold, Muse, Metric, Icona Pop, Sleigh Bells, Depeche Mode, Reel Big Fish, Jonathan Coulton, They Might Be Giants, The Cure

Other media: The Venture Bros. Doctor Who. Arrested Development. Black Mirror. Game of Thrones.

Food: Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish, Mexican, Indian, Turkish, Sea (food), Sushi, Whatever. I love it all. The more obscure the better.

Other favorites: raw denim, saying the world selvedge, straight blade razors, silver tipped badger brushes, a nice strong drink, and a bike ride.

Technology.

Humor.

Words like doodad, scuttlebutt and other such melliloquence - Besides alliterating, I love archaic/arcane words nobody uses anymore. Lay them as wreathes upon our conversation, yon woman!

Wit - because it's... good... and stuff.

Other Geeks - because who doesn't love their own people? Cosplayers, Ren Faire nerds, the tabletop kids, builders of crazy projects, bike nerds, running nerds, lifitng nerds... all of them. Good people, all.

Halloween - I really do love the spirit of this holiday. Be whoever you want. You're free. How great is that?

Whether or not George McFly remembered "Calvin Klein" enough to realize his son Marty looks just. like. him. And whether or not he then suspected Loraine of having an illicit affair with the stranger that they both knew from high school.

Or did they think they were revising the memories of Calvin Klein to match Marty? Curious.

(ALSO: If Harry Potter wanted to get high on the down low at Hogwarts, the bubble head charm would be ideal. It would also probably be super effective for getting you high.)

Exploring St. Louis, or working on my latest project, or staying in with someone and watching movies, occasionally mocking them mercilessly which make even the worst movies amazing experiences. In fact, Bad Movie Night has been something I've done in the past and now that I think on it, bears resurrection. Getting friends together to watch, and make fun of, a terrible movie is so fun. If you're a fan of MST3K you'll already know this.

When I was 5, I called my uncle a dildo in front of extended family
because I had heard it used once before, and thought it meant
chubby. I remarked casually of him, "Yeah... he's kind of a
dildo."

I secretly fear horribly screwing up word meanings to this day
(though I almost never do.)

You're the "right" kind. You know who you are.
