I am a Gamer, a Service Industry veteran and an avid NPR nut. My political view are, for the most part, Progressive, though I am Very Liberal/non-traditional on a hand full of issues. I spend most of my free time doing one of the following: reading (novels, comic books, the occasional other thing), playing RPGs (on Playstation, DS or with friends), running an RPG of my own design (yay!), designing games alone or with friends, watching movies or TV on DVD (shows by Joss Whedon, Futurama, Weeds, Jericho, etc.) or occasionally going out on the town, though my work schedule tends to prevent the seeing of Concerts on a moments notice.

I have 2 "low rung" jobs that I LOVE, and don't plan on leaving any time soon. One is pretty much my Dream Job in many respects, allowing me to entertain myself for hours at a time and occasionally do actual work, most of which is absurdly easy compared to the service industry jobs I've done in the past. The other is a part time shift at the most recent of said jobs, kept because I enjoy the employees, (some of) the regulars, the hours and the occasional perks, but not the money, which is pitiful, but a nice bonus all the same. The fact that both are in Athens, GA, one of my favorite towns ever, and the best place in GA is a decidedly huge perk, but the fact that their hours often keep me from concerts or other events I'd like to see does annoy me at times. In my free time right now: I am currently running a weekly RPG of my own design with some friends. I have just recently watched the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel for the first time, all of it in a row, and was on the whole quite impressed. I just borrowed a bunch of books from my brother and will be reading a lot of neat new sci-fi and fantasy books in the near future. I am about to delve into Persona 4 on PS2 and am playing a couple of games on DS right now.

I am a game designer by nature, specifically of role-playing games or table-top miniatures games. Some friends and I have designed several quite fun table top games and I have designed many fantasy or science fantasy/space operatic worlds, pretty much since I can remember. I am a decent but not great Game Master, and enjoy playing table top RPGs or miniature games, though I don't really get into MMORPGs, because I like to be around the table with my fellow gamers. I am also quite good at spouting off nonsense at a moments notice (agnostic glossolalia?), and am often called upon by friends to come up with a strange name for something in a game. I am pretty good at "mondegreening" songs (ala Weird Al), but don't have much actual musical talent past that and pushing "Play".

my hair? it's rather long and my goatee is pointy, often in a random direction. my smile? it's not perfect by any means, but I tend to let it make regular and prolonged trips to my face. my glasses? they are a tad thick, but they let me read/see things far away, so I don't mind. my oddity? I am certainly not within 10 feet of normal in most aspects, and don't really try to hide it, though I am not an exhibitionist of my oddities either. my outlook? many have commented about my sunnier-than-average disposition or my courtesy to strangers, but I always say there is enough meanness in the world already. I guess I don't know, but it's probably not actually any of those things...

*) Games, of one sort or another *) friends to play games with *) A Cat somewhere nearby, hopefully an indoor/outdoor cat *) the Internet (how cool IS this thing!?) *) an endless stream of media to enjoy, preferably in the form of books, comics, music, movies, etc. *) someone to share it all with (d'oh!)

games, characters, politics and strange things that just pop into my head at times.

At work from early till late night, so after work I tend to stay up until Saturday morning hanging with friends, playing games or watching TV on DVD. My day off is Sunday, which is either spent with a passel of friends or out of town, and my regular "night out on the town" nights if I'm going to have them are Tuesday and Thursday, though they are usually spent at home anyway.

If I'm willing to admit it in public, by definition it's not that private... Sure there are things some men might not admit to because of expectations, but I always found that silly. I'm a straight man who like Musicals? yeah, so what? I hate sports and sports mania? that's no secret.

you want to talk. you want to meet locally (or possibly farther away after talking a while) you think I am interesting. you are one of the people I mentioned as loving the works of in my favorites section. I am an avid but not scary fan.
