I'm not ashamed to say I'm a bit of a nerd. Actually, I'm quite proud of it. I like sci-fi stuff, reading, and video games. I'm a social nerd, though. I like to go out and have fun from time to time, and I tend to seek out people when I'm feeling a bit low, because personal interaction usually gets me out of a funk.

That being said, I hate bars but love coffee shops. Bookstores are another favorite haunt, and the mall when I have the time. Mostly I like the mall because I like to people watch.

I believe that life is not inside, but outside waiting to be lived, and thus have a great appreciation for nature. I absolutely love going to the zoo. It's like walking through an evolution textbook.

Musically, I like what sounds good to my ears, which could be any genre. I hate most rap, though I do like some. If you're a rap fan you'd probably find the stuff I like to be pretty silly and/or weird.

My sense of humor is pretty zany and random. I have a bit of a dry wit, though, and it can be hard to understand what I'm getting at.

My weaknesses are Jelly Bellies, Gummi Bears if they're the right kind of chewy, and puppies.

I'm a patriot and an atheist and I'm equally passionate about both. I'm tolerant with religion most of the time but I'm not at all tolerant with unpatriotic people.

The girl I'm looking for should be cute, sweet, and most of all, faithful. I'm fiercely loyal to whoever I'm with and I expect the same. Ideally she would be a bit nerdy or at least accept my nerdiness.

Hopefully we could exercise together, too. I'm not a gym rat at the moment, since I'm just getting back into it, but when I get going full swing I'd love to have a workout partner and I've also heard it's great for couples to work out together. I hate running, though. Just putting that out there.

Due to my current career choice I'm kind of locked in to where I live, so if you're not near me hopefully you can and like to travel.

Speaking of travel, I've been to Canada and Afghanistan, though I'd only like to revisit Canada. I hope to see Asia pretty soon. Moscow and Prague would be neat. And I definitely want to explore Europe a bit.

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. Of course this small box could never peel away all of my many layers, so feel free to ask me anything you like. Talk to you soon!

Working, socializing, and raising Mochi, my shiba inu puppy.

English, video games, spouting off useless facts, and quoting movies.

No clue, I never asked. Maybe my eyes? They're really blue.

Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman, too many movies to name, Futurama, Disturbed, and pizza.

Family, my puppy, friends, interwebs, caffeine, and books.

Superheroes.

Out at the movies, out to eat, or home chillin' with the pup.

I make up songs about my dog and sing them to her. Usually they're just her name and how good she is, to the tune of whatever song is stuck in my head at the time.

...you identify with the song "Nrrrd Grrrl" by MC Chris.

...you think my old-school purposely-faded Autobots T-shirt is rockin'.

...you have at least one video game

...you're an atheist or agnostic who wants to talk about cool stuff like science.

...you're awesome.

...you enjoy animation in all its forms.

...you can finish this lyric: "You take the moon, and you take the sun..."

...you can quote Futurama for hours.

...you just plain wanna.
