I'm a romantic at heart held back by wanting to be practical, an intellectual with a free spirit, a nice guy, and I like to make people happy. I like to keep an open mind about as much as I possibly can, and am perfectly happy to know that we all like different things in life.

I'm looking, not too hard, for something great to strive for and someone great to spend my time with. Meanwhile, I play and create games, look for work, and go for walks or runs in the forest while listening to audio books.

Reading, remembering random facts but not where I read it, assembling Ikea furniture and baking cookies.

A friendly smile and a helpful attitude.

Lots. Let's see.

Books: Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels and Iain Banks' Culture novels. Oh, and I have a book about clouds which is very nice. :)

Movies: The Truman Show, the Shawshank Redemption, the Lion King and let's say the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

TV shows: The Wire, Arrested Development and Game of Thrones.

Music: Mostly synth:y, hip-hop:y, pop:y, rock:y stuff. Everything from Pet Shop Boys to Rammstein, Gorillaz to Ozzy Osbourne, Robyn to Eminem, and Air to Zeromancer.

Food: You can never go wrong with pizza. I also make a very tasty vegetarian lasagna.

Food, oxygen and heat? That's a pretty boring answer. Friends are very nice to have. I really like the Internet too, so I'd rather keep that, I wouldn't want to be without a source of funny cat pictures. Sixth thing... Oh, I know. I would never want to live somewhere where's there no forest within walking distance.

Stories, game design, sex, and things that make me laugh.

Staying home and watching a nice movie, eating popcorn; or surfing the internet, looking at pictures of cats; or playing a game with friends.

I used to be very shy and insecure about myself, and was worried about what other people thought about me. I've come a long way since then, but every now and then, those insecure feelings might bubble back up to the surface, and when they do, I'm a bit too good at jumping to conclusions.

You should message me if you find me attractive, want to have a friendly philosophical conversation, or want to point out that I'm wrong about something. :)

You might also consider messaging me if you like to talk about BDSM, role playing games, story telling, science, the meaning of life, or if you're starting a new religion.
