I am nerdy, easy going, and always up too late.

My Self-Summary

I love gaming. I love board games, card games, drinking games, tabletop games, and especially video games. I play online with a lot of my free time, but my favorite thing to do with friends is sit down with them and play for fun competition (read: I play to win but I have fun losing). If you game too, it's definitely a plus! But I don't mind if the gaming is my "me time," so long as you know it's never going to stop...

I'm basically a social nerd, meaning I like partying and alone time pretty equally. Social activity drains me though, even if it's just a small get together with a group of friends. While alone time (ideally that includes time with my girl) is more refreshing or relaxing.

What I’m doing with my life

I just got a master's degree in Architecture, and I have a career started at a great firm. I enjoy my work, and can occasionally get really involved in my tasks if I'm learning something new or doing something really nifty, but at the end of the day it's more a job than my passion. I work overtime when needed, and I try to do a good job, but I'm fine progressing up the career ladder at a slow pace.

I’m really good at

Math. For example, I can recite pi to TWO places (Out of a text book and off the internet).

The first things people usually notice about me

My shyness is intense at first but melts away fast, even if no one breaks the ice. It normally just takes one statement or opinion that I can relate to and I'm good to go!

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Wheel of Time takes the cake for books. All fantasy and sci-fi follows. I also like Historical Fiction or (more rarely) history books, particularly Bernard Cornwell's stuff. Learning history can be fascinating, but it sure helps if you have interesting characters and personal plots to keep it going.

I'm pretty bland in the movies, music, and food department, I have no big passions. I do AVOID horror movies and spicy food though. And I'd maybe touch country music if I had a 10 foot pole handy.

The six things I could never do without

challenges, the ability to laugh, nostalgia, hope, spontaneous activities, and french fries.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

the many ways in which our planet could cease to exist before we were even aware it was in danger. How awesome it would be if there was intelligent life out there, maybe even in our own solar system (the moons of Jupiter people! My thesis touched on it, message me if that sounds interesting ;) ). Other universal questions... Once you start imagining all the possible forms existence could take it really doesn't end...

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm sappy. I enjoy, and tear up during, chick flicks... or touching "NCIS" and "Law and Order" episodes... or commercials that pull heartstrings. I'm about as far from manly man as possible in that department.

You should message me if

You want a nice, low pressure, fun date with the potential for more.
