I'm pretty much a standard nerd, I play some computer games, board games, I read comics, and spend the rest of my time reading.

I'll admit it usually takes me a while to get comfortable around someone, I've been told I'm too quiet at first, and then once you get to know me I talk too much. Well maybe not too much, but too ridiculous? At any rate, I'm a nice guy who says mean things to his friends, that how you know you are friends, right? When you can be mean to each other, or constantly complain to someone? Well hopefully I can find more of those people to meet.

I'm an economist with a vague sense I should be doing something different, or more entertaining.

I'm not terribly attached to work, but I like to think I'm quite good at it. So there is that, as for what else I am doing, I suppose mostly just surviving?

Wasting time, trivial pursuit, and being quite while I watch movies

Not sure, why natural wit and charm? The fact I seem oblivious and am reading a comic book on the metro? The latter.

This is the worst section, listing everything would be too long, so I'll try to give some generalizations.

I like mostly fiction, I'll read (or attempt to read) anything someone hands to me, most of it I don't regret.

I love watching movies, I like basically all kinds, I get queasy from seeing blood however, so torture porn and a lot of modern horror gets rules out. And comedy has been a very tragic genre for the past 20 years or so. That being said, I am really into movies and am looking for someone who'd like to be a movie partner, it really helps to have one, especially to stay current on new releases.

Mostly indie pop, mostly from the past two decades, is it just me or after awhile does it get harder and harder to keep up with new music?

I have a feeling I could do without quite a lot. And answering this question is really tough, probably could end up living without anything besides food and shelter, but I'd probably go mad after a little bit. But I suppose the short answer is probably books and tea.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how misanthropic I am, and sometimes ignoring or changing this profile to meet my moods. Often they are not pleasant.

Other than that I spend the remainder of my time thinking about how to bring the Twilight crowd into SciFi, and working to that end. I think I'm almost there if you like me to send you a chapter or two of the most painful writing I could bring myself to put on paper.

Sometimes out doing something fun and usually alcohol related. But just as often in a movie or at home contemplating my navel.

I once had a dream were I remembered something dark and secret I did a while ago. However I'm pretty sure I never actually did that thing, but now I have a memory of it that is divorced from it being a dream. I guess what I am trying to say the most private thing I'm willing to admit is that I'm crazy.

I'll take any messages, so if you have crazy musings, writing exercises, or performance art I would love to hear it (I once sent out a lovely critique of Revolutionary Road I though was great, no response, so opinions may differ).

It would also just blow my mind to actually get messages.
