After much deliberation, I've decided to condense the essence of my very being into one section.

I graduated from Stanford in 2012. Since then, I've started an exciting life in the video game industry as a producer. Funny enough, data analysis is my favorite part of work.

Outside of bolding keywords, I like learning. A lot. I took apart an iPhone just to see what's inside. I started modding consoles because I thought it was cool. If you were so inclined, I could talk you to death about M-theory and why the idea of supergravity and 11 dimensions fascinates me. I like theoretical physics, but if you don't I completely understand.

My RSS feeds best describe my interests. Business. Entertainment. Automobiles. Sports. Technology. beast.

I'm a bit of a clean freak. I even make my roommate's bed, but she doesn't mind. I'm bothered by dirty dishes.

I'm also quite the baker. I didn't start drinking until I turned 21. The most exciting part about it has been baking. Have you ever tried Irish Carbomb cupcakes? Bailey's in the frosting, Jameson in the ganache, and (though untrue to the carbomb recipe), Kahlua in the cupcake. Amazing.

But everything in moderation. I suffer from Former Fatty Syndrome. As a result, I have many gay and male friends. I had a neurological disorder that required that I abstain from anything that would increase my heart rate. Kinda left me unmotivated. But after medical intervention, I got really into hiking. Just ran my first marathon. And got into modeling. My profile pictures? Yeah, that's me now. Needless to say, my health means a lot to me now.

So why am I on OkCupid?

I just want to meet people. I've lived by myself and not had anyone to come home to or anything to look forward to, and it's not fun. You become a workaholic. I want someone to go out with on weekends. Or stay in with – that could easily be just as fun.

I recently changed directions - thought I was going to do one thing, but ended up settling for another. Just dropped out of grad school, but I'm not too worried about my future: I have a fulfilling life as a producer in the video game industry.

Puzzles. Not just floor puzzles – sudoku and crosswords are kind of my thing too. Also, sporcle. I'm pretty good with memorization, so asking me to name the first 151 Pokémon in order is not a big deal. I have a younger brother and we're pretty close, so I've spent the last decade playing first-person shooters (But actually. Halo: Anniversary came out last year, commemorating the 10 year anniversary, so it's been a decade.) While I'm not that great at it, I'm a pretty damn good medic and an excellent strategist.

"What kind of mutt is this?"
I have an exotic look. I get "Middle eastern" and "Hispanic" more than anything else, but I'm actually a Polynesian Jew. I can never find that box on the census.

Books:
Everything is Illuminated is a great read. I recently read David McRaney's You Are Not So Smart and loved it. For the most part, I like reading articles about fun factoids and history, e.g. Mental Floss, Cracked, etc.

Movies:
Mostly comedies. Not romcoms. Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller – the usual. I enjoy thrillers, but I'm not into ghost flicks. Also, anything starring any cast member of the Expendables 2 is a must-see. And awesomely bad movies: The Room, 80's horror flicks, et al.

Shows:
I'm a masochist when it comes to TV: I like shows that have been canceled (Party Down, Arrested Development, Freaks & Geeks, Allen Gregory... I could go on.) Other than that, Dexter, Mad Men, Parks & Rec, Community, and 30 Rock are regulars. Animated comedies: Venture Bros. Archer. South Park. American Dad. Family Guy. (I still haven't forgiven Seth McFarlane for The Cleveland Show). Certain types of reality TV. Love Storage Wars. And Parking Wars. And Celebreality feat. washed-up celebrities.

Food:
Sushi or spicy. Not complicated.

1. My iPhone. I'm an admitted workaholic.
2. My Chuck Taylors. I could open a museum. I'm almost at three digits.
3. My laptop. It's contains my books, NES/GB emulators, and my entire life.
4-6. TBD.

how my dad wanted a son; it explains a lot. I often think about how things would be very different if he'd had a son before me.

Also, since I've recently joined okc, I've wondered a few things about people:
Do people really sort by income?
If you're planning on meeting people, can you really lie about your appearance?
Is it just because I'm in the bay area, or are there really that many bi- guys?
I've read the terms and conditions of OKC. Nowhere is it stated that you must have a shirtless/iPhone/MySpace/bathroom mirror shot. Who started that?
If you message "hey" or "hai sexxi," do you really expect a response?
Why would you ever send pics of your junk? That is NOT attractive. Please don't.

watching movies with my roommates. I do go out, but not nearly as often as I'd like.

is that I'm a natural brunette? Honestly though, I've owned up to my past – I've come clean about my FFS, and if you've read my responses, you know that I'm a former dungeon mistress and I sing along to elevator music. What more could you possibly want from me?
