I am Intellectual, Offbeat, and Surly.
My Self-Summary
Alright, I've realized and accepted that assaulting people's eyes
with a massive block of eccentrically written and wordy text (397
words, 1898 characters, 393 spaces) might be a little...
Off-putting, perhaps... I'm going to re-write this to be a little
more eloquent, and to-the-point.
I am, in general, kindhearted, to a fault at times, it seems. This
fact stated, I'm not above dirty tricks, sick jokes, and all around
rowdiness, at least with people I'm somewhat comfortable with (or
not worried about making a positive impression on).
I'm a gamer, in many ways, I'm best at racing and flying games, but
can hold my own pretty solidly on anything else (this polarization
is due to amount of time playing each, tons on racing/flying,
almost none on much else). I play wow sporadically, runescape too,
and prefer the latter in a few cases, I'm not really polarized
severely to a specific console or brand, but will point out the
failings of each if fanboyed at.
I am an ordained
Dudeist priest and a follower of his
Noodliness'
word. I'm part Dudeist, and part
Pastafarian, two religions that make
so much more sense, and recommend more peace and acceptance than
the big 3.
I have no real clear pictures of my face to avoid stalkers, and
those who might be judgmental about looks, I realize that there are
those who will pass over my profile as a joke, but I feel that if
they're not at least somewhat intrigued, then perhaps I wouldn't be
interested in them to begin with.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm working for an eventual masters degree in
networking, but I've got an
engineers mind, and am comfortable working with metal and wood. My
only problem is I didn't get much for math, so while I'm great at
the little I do know, I'm at a loss for much beyond the first parts
of Algebra 1 due to the school deciding I was... stupid, I guess...
I really have little clue...
I’m really good at
Everything I actually put effort into. I'm knowledgeable about
computers to an extreme degree, Mechanical things,
instruments, and
engineering to a solid
point, photography and avionics to a point.
I would probably be the one guy on the plane who knew how to fly
the thing, and would explain loudly to the camera what exactly is
going wrong, and why we're all going to die with a massive splat.
The first things people usually notice about me
My hair if they're at a distance, but if I get too close before
they notice my they notice my proportionate size, often by walking
straight into it...
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Too many books to list in full, but here are a few:
Guns of the south - Harry Turtledove
The Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton.
Most books by Asimov, Heinlein, Piers Anthony, Terry Pratchett,
McCaffrey, Spider Robinson, Mercedes Lackey, hell... you name
it.
Movies, I enjoy most Burton films, to a degree. I liked Watchmen,
and The Dark Night. On an older note, Reefer Madness, Little Shop
of Horrors, The Fifth Element, Christine, SteamBoy, the Tremors
movies, The Big Lebowski. Also in here is Wall-e, Shaun of the
Dead, Hot Fuzz, Akira, Cars, and Treasure Planet.
Music, there's a subject I could seriously fill a book with. Rock,
Techno, Country (to an extent), Disco, Jpop, Funk, Jazz, Chiptune,
to be honest, genre isn't as important as the sound.
Music influences on me include Rush, The Flecktones, Weather
Report, Apocalyptica, 8 Bit weapon, The Beatles, Satriani, Jethro
Tull, etc. the downside is I've not heard of, or heard music from
many bands that you might consider contemporary.
In the category of those who've inspired me towards bass include
Jaco Pastorius, Larry Graham, Victor Wooten, Stu Hamm, Stanley
Clarke, Marcus Miller, Flea, and more!
Food, well, I'm certainly fond of the stuff, if I do forget to eat
at times. I'm fond of categorically southern style foods and those
often grouped in with it (big shock, coming from one raised
exclusively in the peach state). Though I'm willing to try
anything, and often enjoy it.
The six things I could never do without
Caffeine
books
people
computers
music
dihydrogen monoxide
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything, often at once, maybe even two or three of them.
On a typical Friday night I am
At home, bored to tears, doing something mundane to at least make
time seem a little faster.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have growing amounts of gray hair.
You should message me if
you should just message me.... I've gotten 2 messages on this thing
that weren't replies, it's getting a little irritating. So please,
message me, regardless of intent, or whether or not you think you
could stand me/stand a chance with me, I don't care, new people are
always welcome.
