I consider myself to be a sociable sort. I like to talk to people. In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if you are visiting after I messaged you with a comment regarding or recommendation for something you mention on your profile.

I used to be involved in student politics and have been a political club president. I like to develop my opinions through discussion, debate and research. I love political and philosophical conversations. Although generally only when I'm certain of someone's interest and capacity for maturity. Nothing ruins a friendship like thinking one another to be what's wrong with society.

Also, please note that my wife -mtmte- and I are essentially Polyamorous.

I have a Bachelor of Politics & International Relations. I am doing Masters here in Melbourne from this year.

I'm working towards a job in policy development and research. I absolutely love democracy and I'd also love to be involved in public relations and political campaigns whether for parties, NGO's or interest groups.

Somehow getting along with nearly everyone, no matter how different from me they are.

Word games like scramble with friends and words with friends.

Occasionally well delivered deadpan.

I may seem quiet at first, but it wont take too long to find that I'm very chatty!

If you're particularly observant you might notice a scar on the inside of one of my eyebrows.

Books: Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Starship Troopers.

I just really love dystopics and sci-fi. I also read fantasy books from time to time.

Movies: Starship Troopers, Silence of The Lambs, Red Dragon, Six String Samurai, The Network.

Same as books, dystopics and fantasy. I also enjoy psychological thrillers and things that challenge the mind.

Shows: The Newsroom, Game of Thrones, Simpsons, Futurama, American Dad, Family Guy.

I have a soft spot for hilarious cartoons. I also watch the occasional anime.

Music: You can find me on last.fm: http://www.last.fm/user/JediCapitalist
My preferred artists come from a very wide range of genre's. Red Elvises, They Might Be Giants, Nicholas Jaar, Alphawezen (and downtempo EDM in general), Alt-J, I like rap & hip-hop as well.

I like instrumental music that you can just chill out to. I love music with beautiful and detailed lyrics, even if they are sometimes complex.

Chicken salt. Seriously.

The feeling of satisfaction when I double space after my sentences. Which also makes online auto-formatting my worst enemy.

Question time. Or to be more specific, youtube videos of when question time was at its finest.

Curiosity. I like to learn, to know, and to talk about stuff.

Optimism. I like to see the best in people, and I like to find the great things in life.

Heavy rain while you're warm in bed. Talk about relaxation.

How and if I can leave a mark on the world by improving the lives of others. I know that's cliche and a bit off with the fairy's but hey, we all have our dreams.

What to have for dinner. The most woefully painful question in life.

How people write neatly. I will surely never know.

The crazy things I read on reddit.

At home. Clubbing was never my thing, and the pub is cheaper on Monday's.

In terms of relaxation and socialising I generally like to engage with people one way or another, whether on skype or in person for a chat about the world and stuff. I also do well on my own, be it in a game, or writing one thing or another.

When sufficiently inebriated, I do more than just admit this private thing. I can sing all the words to 'Dr. Worm' by They Might Be Giants. Link.

I occasionally write, and I read & appreciate poetry. My favourite poem is Henry Lawson's 'The Water Lily'.

To tell me a story. I like stories.

You're up for a chat. I'm up for one too.

You have any questions, suggestions, etc.

You'd like to have a drink with someone who likes to talk about philosophical things, intellectual things, political things and all that jazz.

If you have any suggestions of good places for a cheap beer/meal in Melbourne, especially in the West or the City.

If you're not going to message me, please do with why you're not. Brutal honesty is fine and I'd like some tips. I'm not going to wig out and if I do reply, it will likely just be to say thanks.
