Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Seven hells, I hate this bit. Well, what's to say? I'm a guy and a bit geeky. I enjoy conversations about intellectual subjects as well as inane gibberish. I'm not so keen on going out to clubs. Generally, I prefer quieter places where I can chat with the people I'm with. I guess I'm really looking for someone fun to talk to. Looks don't really matter - personality is the most important thing about people.

I have recently been told that my "trademark tongue-in-cheek attitude lingers even in anything you pencil down." I'm... not entirely sure how to take that.

I'm also an introvert trapped in an extrovert's body. The introvert is fighting to get out, but fairly peacefully and in a quiet voice.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Trying to actually find my slot in life. Graduate with a full time job. Trying to force my way into a career. Not sure when that'll work, so in the mean time I'm learning to juggle.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

A couple of things. Probably quite high up is 3D modelling. I used to be rubbish but practice makes per...well... pretty good. :D

Also, confusing people with sarcasm. People sometimes have trouble distinguishing between sarcasm and sincerity with me. Hell, sometimes I'm not too sure either!

Oh, and fixing stuff. Just give me an elastic band, a paperclip and in extreme situations, a toothpick and it'll be up and running in no time!

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

That I'm a nice person. It takes them a while to figure out that it's all an act. [insert evil laughter here]

Ok, slightly more serious now. Probably that I'm wearing glasses. This is often closely followed by "Hey, you look like Harry Potter." This may in turn be followed by me viciously stabbing them with a fork. Not that I've anything against the comparison besides its frequency.

People might also notice that I'm smiling. I'm usually smiling. Except for when I'm not thinking about my expression at all, which apparently results in me looking bored.

Alternatively, it might be my dress sense. I suspect that this is where the More Extroverted personality award comes from. Yes. In that photo I am wearing an orange shirt over a red tshirt. Though I'm not normally quite that bad. ;D

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Ooh, under books it's the whole of George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. It's fantasy and very, very grim. I'm not usually interested in terribly grim stuff, but this is wonderfully well-written. Other than that, Terry Pratchett is usually excellent, but I feel a few of his books are a bit anticlimactic. Scifi, particularly some of the Star Wars books and Isaac Asimov's stories mostly go down well with me as well.

Movies... Heh. Scifi, action, as well as pointless fun movies like The Fast and the Furious.

As for music... well, I have a fair range of tastes. I like some classical, some rock, some rather obscure stuff. My favourite genre's folk metal, but I'll listen to (almost) anything. Update: I've recently really started getting into jazz. Atomic Fireballs, things like that.

Pasta, curries, chocolate are all fantastic. But not together! Not again...

Misc entertainment, as I feel it needs to be mentioned! Futurama, Firefly, QI, Red Dwarf, anime (especially Baccano! and Infinite Ryvius). Some computer games that are awesome: Planescape: Torment, KotOR 1 and 2, Guild Wars.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

My friends

My PC/internet

Love (some combination of romantic, friendship and family)

My hopes and dreams

Orange-flavoured chocolate

This one great pasta sauce I do. The thought of life without it is sad indeed!

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Creative projects

Where I'm going in life

Sex (Sorry, if I don't include that, they'll take away my Man card)

A fairly strange theory I have about the nature of free will and the tendency of things to take the lowest possible energy state. It's an odd theory and makes my brain melt on occasion.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Working, then recovering after work. I really need to change my hours! That said, even with the whole evening and the next morning free, I wouldn't go out clubbing or anything. Might well go out to the pub with friends though.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

That my username probably has a far geekier/more obscure meaning than you expect. I realise that that's not private at all, but it is the most private thing I'm willing to admit *here*. Start up a conversation with me and I'll be a lot more open.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You like the sound of me and you have a personality! :D Geeky chicks are, to use the current online vernacular, hawt. People who acknowledge the difference between to, too and 2 are good.
