Greets to all once again. I'm a 22 year old guy sharing an apartment in Cork with my best mate while working my full time job in Customer Support for a large gaming company.

Raised in Dublin (the good part :>), I've been living in Cork since I got my dream job. I still head back up to see my family and some friends when I can.

I'm a geek. I enjoy table top and video gaming, and games that pit your problem solving or ability to plan ahead. I've an Xbox 360, Playstation 2, Gamecube and 2 PCs. In recent years I moved away from console gaming towards the PC. I'm handy with windows, forum/bbs coding etc, IRC, torrents and the like.

Also in my intrests is Anime/Manga/ japanese culture in general. The Japanese have made so many amazing things, only paralleled by the amount of wierd shit they make.

I try to make friends with everyone I'm in contact with regularly; there's no gain in being on bad terms with people.

I try and see the positive side in everything. Sure, something shitty just happened, but there's no use in letting that overwhelm me. Rather than that, I'll figure how to correct or respond to it.

I am as open minded as they come. I can find most things funny, and am the kind of person who laughs at racist/sexist etc jokes but am by no means a racist/sexist/etc person. To each his own, whatever floats your boat.

I love animals. I trained my family's two dogs while we raised them, and love everything about dogs. Friendly, affectionate, playful and loyal.
I like cats aswell, though not as much as dogs. They are cute and are good company, but they think they are better than you. Can't help but feel they only stick around to be fed.

I like using my body more than what you get in your every day life. Dancing, swimming, martial arts and general working out have taken up a large amount of my spare time in my life. I have taken part in public dance offs :P. My mam is a swimming teacher so I, along with my siblings took lifesaving classes. I'm a brown belt in Kick-boxing, and the less trustworthy youths hanging around in arcades stop laughing at the fact that a guy's on a Dance Dance Revolution/DDR machine when they can only see a blur where my feet used to be.

I'm affectionate. I like to be close to someone, and the likes of hugs (for friends) kisses on the cheek (for family) and the like are usually how I greet people important to me. As for women, I am compelled to show my affection with words and with actions, holding hands, light kisses, holding each other etc makes me genuinely happy and a gives a closeness I love sharing with someone.

I can't cook. Nothing intricate anyway. I can make you a tasty pasta with chicken and cheese sauce, but unfortunately that's about it. It's something I want to work on when I have the chance.

I'm very clean. I make my bed when I get out of it in the morning and don't leave my wardrobe doors open. If I eat something on a plate, I'll clean it up.

I don't litter and recycle my cardboards and papers. I do what I can as one person to keep the earth in one piece.

I performed in drama/acting for many years while growing up. I was always taking part in activities involving playing a part and getting in front of an audiance. I loved to play parts. If I was in a comic book, my power would be to take on any shape physically and had the mental discipline and demeanor to be any person aswell as look like them. I enjoyed improvisation and playing characters a lot, and all that time thinking on my feet in front of a crowd removed most of my inhibitions. I was always a guy who stood out in school, seeming wierd or wacky, though this of course isn't appriciated by the masses when you don't know how to vent all that energy :)
As I grew older into my late teens and the whole schtick became more mature and serious, with the themes of fun and social interactions fading in favour of it being more of a profession or art, I stopped attending.
Drama and acting helped shape who I am today and I'll always be glad I was able to like that method of venting my endless energy ^^

I'm currently working in customer support for a large game producing which recently set up in Cork. We're pretty cloak and dagger though...
I'm climbing the ladder. One day I'll be in a position to make choices that decide the fate of others, and I know I'll do it well.I chased this job as I like going home at the end of the day knowing that I helped people - even if it was nothing major. Simply being nice to someone can make their day, and that is worth the world to someone at times.

On my days off I am usually found playing Team Fortress 2 and World of Warcraft or visiting my family and friends up in Dublin. I try to keep in contact with old friends, enjoy a drink now and then.

Anticipating the actions of others in thinking games. I like to take a look at a game for a while, say a game of cards, and use what I've seen before to look at the opposing possible options and plan a response for whichever one comes.

I'm good at rhythem games; the likes of guitar hero/rock band or Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents (western variation). This is moreso due to the fact that I've played DDR for over 2 years and play the more difficult songs in the 9s and 10s or doubles of that difficulty.

World of Warcraft is one of my favourite timesinks so I guess it's only natuaral I'd say I'm good at it. I've levelled 9 classes above 70 and filled all the roles regularly at high end raiding at one point or another. Also multiboxed 5 shamans to 70.

I'm good at expressing myself through my body action, tone and vocabulary. Speaking to people all day long on the computer as my job demands skillful command on the written English language. Since getting my job as a customer support agent, recognising how words or actions can be perceived by others became something I've taken to heart. Being a pillar of strength for someone to take comfort or confidence in is easier than it can seem, and it's worth a lot more then thought to be.

The fact that I'm smiling at them :)

A) Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz; The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks;Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck; Manga in general
B) Midnight Express; The Departed; Akira
C) DJ Shadow; Mew; Radiohead; Queens of the Stone Age, Vanessa Mae, Pendulum
D) Pizza, pasta, Lasagne. The Italians know their stuff.

Internet, clocks, Pepsi/Coke, hot baths, a comfy chair, webcomics.

Where I am. Where I'm going, and where I've come from.
How my family and friends I haven't spoken to in a while are doing.
How I can make my life easier, and doing the same for those important to me.

Finishing off a day of games or on a train back to Cork after a few days in Dublin.

When I get more than 6 baileys I become an all-tolerating, all-loving, never-hating, personification of love, friendship and happy times.

We know each other/ we share interests/ we fit each other
