"You're so weird, but in a good way."

I think that up there pretty much sums me up, but I guess that's not enough is it? I'm introverted, but I'm pretty easy to get along with if you invest a little time in me. Usually, I listen more than I talk, but if you get me going with something I'm interested in, the conversation will turn around quickly. I'm going to throw out some things I like so if you see anything you like in there, we'll probably get along.

Video Games, Nerdcore, Hiking, Exploration, Dodgeball, Ping Pong, Mario RPG, Walking empty streets at night, Anime, John Candy, Climbing, Exercise, Trains, Investigation, Mysteries, Folklore, Japanese Culture, Dreams, Art, Disney, Martial Arts, Flowers, Zodiac, Paranormal, Awful Awfuls, Running, and Libraries

Still with me? Awesome. Moving on... I collect retro games so I like to stop at Button Mashers and old comic stores like Time Capsule. I don't know what it is about these places, but the atmosphere makes me feel at home. It started out as a way for my dad and I to connect when I was young and it ended up being something I'm passionate about.

To the people important to me, I'm an awesome friend. If they ever need my help, I will usually drop whatever I'm doing to get them back on track. I try to be a dependable person and I don't really ask for much in return. You can look to me for advice, but I must warn you, I'm usually blunt and tactless. My words won't be sugar-coated. I like to have just a few close friends so not many people get to see my less serious side. Maybe you could be one of them.

Right now, I'm working part time, while trying to work my way back into college.

I think it depends on where you see me. Though, no matter where I am, people comment on how quiet I can be. If I'm working, people probably notice that I'm not much a slacker and that I'm quick with my hands.

Books ~ The greatest book I've ever read is definitely Shogun. Other books I like are Code of the Samurai, anything by James Clavell, Sherlock Holmes, xxxHoLic, Everworld, the Basil of Baker Street series, and books about Japanese ghost stories and folklore.

Movies ~ My favorite is The Great Mouse Detective and that will never change. I've loved it since I was around 5 years old. Other than that, I like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, National Treasure, any John Candy or Sylvester Stallone movie, Shaolin Soccer, Advent Children, Mrs. Doubtfire, A Series of Unfortunate Events, most of Tim Burton's work, Mulan, and Studio Ghibli films.

TV ~ Just about everything I watch is animated, but I make a few exceptions. The real shows I like are MadTV, Trigger Happy TV, Banzai, MXC, Ninja Warrior, Attack of the Show, X Play, and Ghost Hunters. The animated shows I like are Family Guy, South Park, Scooby-Doo, Code Monkeys, anything on Toonami or Miguzi, and City Hunter.

Music ~ I will probably like anything involving a piano especially if it's by Chopin. I also like Scatman John, The Black Mages, Runaway Train, Queen, Gotye, Above & Beyond, Oceanlab, Tycho, most of Mega Ran's albums, and some oldies. I'm the kind of guy that could listen to B101 all day. lol

Food ~ Italian food. I will never refuse to eat raviolis or pizza. I also like to eat most kinds of fruit. I drink coffee almost daily, but I'm trying to cut back. The only other thing I drink is milk and lots of it.

~SNES

Doing an insane amount of push ups and wondering how I haven't destroyed my triceps yet.

I don't get along well with superficial and flaky people so I'm looking for someone who is genuine and honest. Similar interests are a must and being a gamer gets you bonus points.
