My Notes edit
My self-summary
me they're all equally fascinating.
I've been an avid reader for most of my life, and my bookcases contain
everything from Paradise Lost to pulp science fiction. I spent most of my completely lackluster years in high school with my nose in a science
fiction novel, which led to my interest in astronomy and the space program. I also enjoy more serious and weighty written works, although my taste in literature tends to be focused on particular authors or genres.
I'm a recovering computer gaming addict who occasionally lapses back
into an all night gaming session, although lately I tend to spend more
bleary eyed, caffeine fueled hours experimenting with 3d Studio Max
than gaming. I'm definitely a techie, and could probably open a store
with the sheer amount of spare computer parts and electronics I've
accumulated. In addition to enjoying these more introspective and creative pursuits, I also have the need to get out and engage in activities regularly, which is where scuba diving comes in. It's right at the crossroads of my love of technology and my fascination with hidden, distant, and alien places. Eventually I want to try sky diving and travel a bit, but for now I have more than enough expensive hobbies for my limited budget.
As for my general outlook on life, I'm a little cynical (comes from my
knowledge of history) but I maintain a positive attitude and a good sense of humor in the face of the frustrations and disappointments that life
sometimes presents. I'm easy to get along with, and make an effort to
be polite and helpful. While I'm not a total introvert I do prefer the
company of some good friends to a room full of strangers, which is why
I'm not into partying or clubbing. Generally, any social gathering where one has to shout to be heard is more crowded than I would like.
To sum up, imagine a quirky, slightly shy computer geek with a penchant
for Milton and an adventurous streak, and you'll have a fair idea of
what I'm like.
What I'm doing with my life
I'm really good at
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Some movies I like are Children of Men, Blade Runner, Threads (no, it's not a movie about fashionable clothing), and The Wicker Man (the original, not the awful Nicholas Cage remake).
I don't watch much TV, but I do enjoy Black Adder, MST3k, and Firefly, all of which are sadly off the air now.
My Winamp playlist usually contains music by one of the following groups/musicians: Leaves Eyes, Thomas Dolby, Kamelot, Nightwish, Orbital, KMFDM, The Alpha Conspiracy, Iris, and Soviet. I also have a rather unusual interest in secular medieval music, and especially enjoy the works of Raimon de Miraval and Martin Codax.
I really like the Teaching Company's lecture on CD series because they give me something educational to listen to when I'm stuck in traffic.
