Like the earth, I am slow to change. I wear browns, greens, and reds, usually in dark colours. I am smart, but not always quick-witted. I rarely accept just one reason for anything, there's usually another. I don't accept what I see at face-value. My emotions run deep, and never run away. I feel and think deeply. I like to pass the time with abstract/ethical/esoteric discussions. I find answers inside myself, and all around me. I am often wrong, and when I am right, it can be done better.

I am looking for an opposite. Someone who dreams big and runs around. I want to be around someone whose emotions drive them, and needs me to hold them. I want someone who experiments, so that I can help. I want to share dreams with them, make them happy. I want to share reading, by listening to what she thinks certain characters are like, and asking her what they would do in other situations. I want to share movies, by laughing at the jokes, and crying at the tragedies.

As a rule, I find the summaries to be too brief to explore personalities. So I answer questions, and take interesting tests. I look at your tests, and consider why you earned those results. Knowing why you do things is a step towards knowing you. A step that is closer than the face you wish to share with the world.

Working multiple jobs, and taking courses at my local Community college.

I'm currently transitioning from the National Guard to the Army Reserves. My new unit deals with Psychological Operations.

Geek stuff.

My penchant for investigation, and understanding encompasses artistic expressions, scientific knowledge, and emotional needs. So you might summarize me as a cross between Spock and Data....

I name those two in particular, because they maintain a high degree of activity, and "fitness". They are also good at social niceties that they've learned, and have difficulty in situations that they haven't.

My favorite exercises involve playing tennis, hiking, and running.

I'm funny-looking? It's a joke I make after I've got people laughing hard enough that they can't look at me without smiling.

Aside from that, I suppose they notice my clothes. I once walked into work with a Hawaiian shirt on, and my employer was surprised at how subdued I was dressed. I like standing out a bit, more to ask why other people don't try than to make a statement about myself.

(A) Easier to list favorite authors:
Issac Asimov, Terry Pratchett, Piers Anthony, Anne McCaffrey, Jean Auel, Robert Asprin, Tamora Peirce, Orson Scott Card, Spider Robinson, C. S. Lewis
Suggest a book and I'll try reading it. I prefer escapism novels, but have read a bit of everything.

(B) Shawshank Redemption, Patch Adams, Batman Begins (Dark Knight Trilogy), Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean and Ever After.
I like Tim Burton films, and Robin William's acting.

(C) Country mostly. (I listen to anything as long as the lyrics are intelligible, and rationally used). Kid from Scat would be nice to hear again. I've also started to collect Renaissance Faire Music, such as Coyote Run and Pirates Royale.

(D) Pizza's a favorite, the family Vegetarian recipe or Pizza Hut; Meat Lovers or Three Cheese. Stone Soup is a good recipe. Oh, and I cook. Thai, German, Irish, Italian, Chinese... Most recipes I need to reference, and I've made a few recipes myself.

Six arbitrary things designed to tell you what I prioritize:
1 books
2 games
3 computers
4 nakama
5 Three Stooges
6 humour

Time, art, the whorls in my fingers, the growth of a tree, religion, how to grok God, education, internet, morality, culture, science, books, philosophies, movies, heroes, archetypes...

Pick a topic; I'll listen, and contribute.

Fridays I tend to stay at home.

On Saturday nights, I'm most often found in Savage, playing a variety of games; Card Games, RPGs, or Board Games. Magic: the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons are two common games.

Risk 2010, TransAmerica, Call of Cuthulu, and Munchkin are less common, but still played.

I can't spell, so I use Firefox to correct my spelling.

On AOL Instant Messenger, I am CaoticSamaritan.

You want a conversation ;-)

Debates on tests and observation of behavior patterns will guarantee a response.
