I am a software engineer at a company in Davis that makes underwater robotic vehicles. I'm interested in computers and robotics, so it's a good match for me. I recently graduated with a bachelors degree from Sacramento State University. I am a shy person with a small circle of close friends. I have a kind of dry sense of humor; I'm not always funny, but at times I'm hilarious. I tend to stay on top of technology pop culture, so I make a lot of references to that. I suppose it's because I'm a nerd at heart.

Most of the time spent in my life is consumed by going to work and sleeping. In the time that isn't spent doing either of those things, I enjoy working on projects with my friends, playing video games, and surfing the web.

Math, and thinking logically. I'm good at things like puzzles, and games like chess.

How shy I am, and if I'm lucky, how intelligent I am.

I don't read books too often since I've graduated from High School, but before that I read a lot. Recently I've been listening to audiobooks on my commute if those count. Some of my favorite books are the Mode series by Piers Anthony, One Jump Ahead, Lord of the Rings, The Golden Compass, and The Time Traveller's Wife.

My favorite movie is The Fifth Element. I also like a lot of other movies, some of which are X-men (#2 specifically), Spiderman, Pirates of the Carribean, The Matrix, and The Harry Potter Movies. I also like kind of weird movies like Donnie Darko, Pi, Save the Green Planet and Oldboy, and really over the top movies like Grindhouse and Big trouble in Little China, and Kung-Fu Hustle. It generally doesn't take much to get me to like a movie though, a lot of movies my friends don't like or get bad reviews I end up liking. Some more recent movies I've enjoyed are Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In (subtitled), Hellboy (1 and 2), Fanboys, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

As for music, I like a wide variety of music, but I'm not really fond of pop songs that get played over and over on the radio, usually with a lot of Auto-tune (so most of R&B and rap; I like older stuff though). I usually listen to podcasts/audiobooks when I'm in my car, but I do listen to streaming radio when I'm at work/on weekends. When I do, I listen to techno (hardcore / euro dance) when I want some energy, or when I want to relax a little I like listening to classical/jazz. I also like most rock music from the 90s, and for I occasionally like to listen to Speed metal for short periods of time. I don't really like ballads/slow songs.

For food, one of my friends said I eat like a child. He's been training me to eat more things though, and now I'm much more likely to try new things. My favorites are Italian, submarine sandwiches, and my grandmother's molasses cookies. I'm a tea drinker; I drink pretty much an entire pot each day at work, of various kinds of tea (mainly black, and some white/herbals).

Ideas for new projects, and how to accomplish the ones I already have the best. How the universe works.

Doing things with my friends: either having dinner, playing pool, going shopping; hosting a movie night at my house; or if all else fails, even playing video games.

When I was a kid, I used to dress up as a Klingon like my dad and go to Star Trek conventions with him. And no, I still haven't seen the new Star Trek movie yet.

You are at least somewhat intelligent. Nothing is more of a turn off to me than someone that I can't have an engaging conversation with, even if she is the most beautiful person in the world.
