I am infinitely curious, ever-reforming, and zombie-prepared.

My Self-Summary

I still consider myself too young to quit having ridiculous, over-the-top dreams. Published author, big-time game developer, gourmet chef, celebrated artist... All stuff I still consider myself capable of, someday-maybe-possibly. I'm a computer nerd and love working on programming and logical problems by dissecting things and seeing how they tick. I've recently adopted the motto of "Spread joy, be joyful" as the guiding rules for anything I do, and consider that to be all I really need. I've also recently discovered I like cooking, and am pretty good at it even, so I've been learning all I can about it here and there and subjecting my friends to my experiments... None have complained yet, so apparently I'm at least going the right direction with it. I still build with Legos and have fights with Nerf guns and I like the occasional round of frisbee golf and a game of softball whenever possible. I have a mostly-fleshed-out plan in case of the event of Zombie Apocalypse, devised with some assistance from friends. I'm also incredibly fascinated by Steampunk currently.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a student and working on getting my graphics and game design company going somewhat. Mostly, though, I'm just trying to enjoy my life while I hold the real world at bay for another year or two before it comes bearing down on me full bore. I just want to enjoy myself and spend time with good friends as much as possible.

I’m really good at

Concocting ridiculous schemes, computer-based artwork, making people laugh, wasting time, cooking, gaming, sarcasm, making lists.

The first things people usually notice about me

My height, my eyes, and generally whatever unusual clothing I'm wearing that day. I'm told my voice and laugh are pretty striking too, but I wouldn't really know.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Harry Potter series, Battlefield Earth, anything by Dean Koontz (especially Seize the Night), Gunslinger series by Stephen King, lots of random science fiction and fantasy... anything with a good world built around it fascinates me.

Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean, Princess Bride, Dawn of the Dead, Army of Darkness, the Transporter, plenty others... I'm a big sci-fi and horror movie person.

Music: Just about anything, I enjoy all different sorts of music depending on my mood. Lately it's been a lot of punk rock, though not for any particular reason really. MSI (Mindless Self Indulgence) would probably be my favorite right now.

Foods: Again, not too picky. I like all sorts of food, I eat all the time and am trying to try a lot of new and different stuff for the sake of improving my cooking. Broadening my culinary horizons, or whatever you would like to call it.

The six things I could never do without

My computer and all my graphics and writing that's saved on it, my cellphone to stay in touch with friends and family, fast internet connection, a notebook or sketchbook for doodling and writing, my ultra-awesome friends, and background music.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Brainstorming whatever my current creative endeavor is, thinking of strange new recipes / storylines / contraptions, quantum mechanics and how it applies to time travel, various philosophical concepts ("why are we here?" and other less cliched ones), observing whatever happens to be going on around me.

On a typical Friday night I am

Could be anything. Hanging out with friends, out and about dancing and drinking (or occasionally dancing then desi-driving), staying home working on the latest project to capture my obsession, who knows what.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Eh, I'll admit about anything... Not a big fan of broadcasting though. Ask me a question about anything you want, and chances are, I'll answer. I tend to be pretty upfront and / or blunt about most anything.

You should message me if
