I am funny, creative, and intelligent.
My Self-Summary
Okay, so here's your basics: I am a tech savvy gentleman who enjoys
reading novels, hanging out with friends, playing some video games,
and watching lots of movies. I also like keeping in good shape, so
I go jogging regularly, practice some Tae Kwon Do (which I did a
lot of in college), push-ups during commercial breaks, and
sometimes take long bike rides on the weekend. I'm pretty laid
back, so I'm usually able to make friends with just about anybody.
I'll argue for my own opinions and beliefs (like how Tobey Maguire
and Jake Gyllenhaal are the same person, despite the fact that
they're staring in a recent movie together; it's split screen I
tells ya!), but I try to not only listen to other people's opinions
but also understand their perspective.
Some fun facts: my favorite fruit is mango, I'm ambidextrous, as a
baby I cracked my grandmother's glass end table in two with my head
(from beneath), every morning I wake up an hour before my alarm
clock and doze until it goes off, I like soy milk better than
normal milk, and I cook for myself but usually make enough for 5
days worth of leftovers.
By day I work doing automation testing on software, which I find to
be a pretty decent gig. During some spare moments at work and here
and there at home I ofttimes like to write, usually
sci-fi/fantasy-ish stuff with plenty of action and mystery and
humor. Truthfully I start more stories than I finish, haha, but I
enjoy it anyway.
Looking to meet somebody nice here, but more good friends (male and
female) and adventures would also be pretty sweet.
What I’m doing with my life
being awesome, working as a software quality analyst (yeah, that's
what QA stands for), reading webcomics while I should be working as
a software quality analyst, enjoying the bachelor's life but
wanting more, reading novels, playing video games, writing, going
to the movies, being awesome some more, ect. You know, stuff.
I’m really good at
writing, noticing details, testing software, making chicken curry
(my favorite dish), eating chicken curry, Tae Kwon Do, transcending
space and time, and making you laugh (or trying so hard that you
laugh at that).
The first things people usually notice about me
My height first, and then my speaking voice; i've been told on
multiple occasions that I could do radio. This one woman even told
me I sounded like Sylvester Stallone (I don't think so, but I do
have a fairly deep voice).

The six things I could never do without
1) Internet
2) Friends
3) Family
4) Good book(s)
5) Ipod
6) My pancreas
I spend a lot of time thinking about
human psychology, story ideas, daydreaming about having
superpowers, science, science fiction, morality, sex, food, puns so
stupid that they're genius, how to waste time, how to stop wasting
time, love, hate, the strength of the human spirit, the
corruptibility of the human spirit, dichotomies, algorithms, music,
manga, meat, mangoes, Murphy's Law, martial arts, and alliteration.
On a typical Friday night I am
going to the movies with a friend, at a concert with my brother,
reading a good book, jogging, or the same thing we do every night,
Pinky: try to take over the world!
I'm usually up for pretty much anything, though.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm an alien time traveler with ESP. No, really, I am.
Okay, for real, let's see... Ah, here's one: awkward situations in
tv shows, movies, ect make ME feel embarrassed, so much so that I
sometimes feel like covering my ears or leaving the room (which
explains my love/hate relationship with the Office).
You should message me if
you like to laugh, enjoy talking about good books and good music
and many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse, and you
want to talk to a Nice Guy.
I'll also accept: because you feel like it, the devil made me do
it, who knows, these aren't the droids you're looking for, and
pie.
Mmm...pie...
