So.

I tried this whole "talk seriously about myself and be auto-informative" thing in my self-summary? But that's fucking boring. And I'm not boring. So I'ma rock this mic.

1. Using inappropriate rap and hip-hop slang in conversation when you don't actually rap is a sign of a good sense of humor.

2. Think about how smart you are: You're probably not that smart. But neither am I. Probably. So it's ok.

3. If you're not laughing at least once every day, pick up smoking. Lung cancer's a better death than a humorless one.

4. Mostly, when I tell other people how to act, I'm talking about how I DO act. You should remember that.

5. Anyone who reads this profile is at least literate. Go ahead, give yourself a pat on the back for that.

6. Nerds and geeks are now coming into respect and vogue, and goddamnit I'm riding that wave as far as it'll go.

7. Sometimes, I feel like Lewis Black, and sometimes I act like him. I mean, most of the time.

8. I mean, all of the time.

9. Acoustic covers of rockin' songs are always worth a listen and usually awesome.

10. Reverse the subject in the last sentence, still awesome.

11. You will never get rid of all the germs, or eat all the right foods, and even if you did you'd still die. Might as well be fucking, eating, smoking, and drinking what YOU want; the difference between 60 awesome years and 110 shitty years is... minimal. I did the math.

12. I love music, and I love anyone who can and will sing along to music without shame in their car.

13. There's a big difference between arguing and debating. Debating should be done frequently, heatedly, and intelligently. No one should ever argue.

14. This is the best place for this I think. Please don't put in your profile that you're sarcastic, at least if you're under 30 and live in the US. These days, in this country, being sarcastic is a prerequisite for being social and coping with all this bullshit. I'm saying, I appreciate the heads-up, but trust me, I know.

You know, dating and interviewing have more or less the same advantages and disadvantages. I'm going to start scheduling job interviews on Valentine's day from now on.

Currently I'm 'on the market' as it were. Unemployment's nice, but it's difficult trying to find a job I actually want to work. The hostile job market environment doesn't help. Hold on a second, I'll be right back, there's wolves at my door.

Making you think I'm amazing at everything. <-- Valuable Skill.

I'm good at the stuff I've practiced. So: Eating, sleeping, drinking lots of water and coffee, doing point-set topology and analysis, playing video games, being polite, charming strangers just because, sliding my phone like a nervous habit, making people laugh, and lastly, tying my shoes.

People lie, all the time, about this, so I'm not even going to attempt to try to sort of maybe refer someone to an answer to this question.

If you think you know the answer to this for yourself, you don't. Unless you're a woman with porn-star disgusto-boobs. I think the solution could be discernible then.

I am Jack's tendency to be judged by strangers by Jack's tastes in books, movies, music, and foods, which is such a minor, inconsequential part of anyone's life.

A) I am reading Spook Country by William Gibson at the moment, concurrently with (nonfiction) John Allen Paulos' Innumeracy, highly recommended reading. B) The last movie I saw was Up. If that movie doesn't move you sentimentally at least a little bit, you're fucking heartless. C) I am listening to a lot of 90's grunge lately. Tried and true, it rarely disappoints. D) I am planning on cooking Massaman Curry vegetarian tonight, along with Miso soup. How trendy and ethnic am I!

Don't be fooled, I really like music. I also like digestible consumables, up to and including alcohol. Amusement. The friends; the best friends; my friends. Employment, or at least the sensation that I'm accomplishing something. I dunno, I guess air factors in there too, somewhere, right? Hate to be cliche, but shit, you asked. Why you gotta ask?

what I should be thinking about. So, to wit, recursion.

Sitting at home fretting over recession, trying to figure out what to do next in this ol' life a' mine, drinking with friends, talking about SCIENCE and MATH (yeah, I know, seatbelts on people). Going to bed at an obscene hour and sleeping in Saturday.

I had up here before that I watched anime on occasion, but apparently some closed-minded people thought that that meant I wasn't socially adept and was painfully geeky. I'm not. I don't really care if you take my word for it. Your loss if you don't, really.

I'm just going to look at you and be a little more frustrated that there are so many closed-minded people in this world.

I'm a nerd. Seriously people, get over it. It's not like we're a minority anymore. And at least, for a nerd, I'm witty, friendly, outgoing, and funny.

you're weird, white, promised to the night, and your head has no room. You don't really have to be white though. Be aware that I'm rockin' the suburbs. If you think we can be happy underground. If you know that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas, and if you're actual size. You wear a shirt of violent green, uh-huh. If you're not looking for love in plaster. If you will write a book, and it will be called "Life and How To Live It." If your evenings fall just like a star, and leave a trail behind. You're big in Japan. You make all the beatboys scream. If you don't want to go to Sunset Strip; you don't want to feel the emptiness. If you are Sheela-na-Gig, you exhibitionist! If so much depends on the weather, and you can show me where it's raining in your bedroom.

More poignantly, if you're interested in science, a little more left-brained, and have a good sense of humor about everything. If you find you make your friends laugh more than the other way around. If you understand falling for someone doesn't mean drama at all, and probably shouldn't.

Aside: I'm going to be very, very Frank here. I enjoy stability in people. I don't like people whose opinions change fluidly. I expect everyone to grow and change, just not over a week or so. I'm huge on honesty and communication, so if you're in the dating market, and there's shit you wouldn't talk about because it'd be awkward (as opposed to ill-timed, like children, which is a subject that's understandably not to be broached), then perhaps you should step on.
