Greetings!

My name's John, and I want to welcome you to my profile!

I have one thing in common with mushrooms. I'm a fun guy!

(When it comes to corny jokes, I'm the kernel!)

Ok, on to the important stuff...

-I'm a child of God (Lutheran). Jesus died for my sins, and rose from the dead to save me from death. I try my best (and don't always succeed) to live in a way that reflects Him.

-Nerdy/geeky Introvert working towards being more nerdy/geeky Extrovert.

-I've discovered that I have a mild adventure, and excitement deficiency, and I'm looking for a girl who can help with that (In the D.C./Baltimore area, ideally, but I don't mind a road trip), as long as it doesn't involve flying (Southwest Airlines would be the exception), or getting arrested.

Some of the things I like...

-Going to see a movie.

-Bowling, even though I'm not that good at it.

-Checking out the sights in D.C. (I don't do that as much as I'd like to, though, because it's no fun to go by myself).

-Going to Barnes 'N' Noble for a book.

-Going to a park for a walk, as long as it's not boiling hot.

-Airshows

-Photography! Check out my Tumblr page! http://whiteknight84.tumblr.com/

Education-wise, I've got an Associate's degree in Computer Information Systems.

Well, that's about it for the self-description (at least on here. There's more, but I've got to save some stuff for later). Have a blessed day/night/whatever time it is where you are.

Right now, I'm working part-time at a wholesale club, doing "Shop-backs" (aka, restocking. It's not as dull as it sounds).

I'm trying to get into freelance photography. I've got some experience in that area (see next paragraph), and I want to expand on that.

I'm also the webmaster for my church's website, and one of the admins for its Facebook page. I'm also the official photographer/video-maker for my church.

Planning stuff out before I do it (sometimes over-planning in the process).

Photography, as I mentioned earlier!

"Fast food" jokes/puns. In other words, jokes/puns rapidly made on the spot.
(Example:
Q: Why do stomachs do stand-up comedy right before the end of their lives?
A: They want to die jesting).

Deadpan humor.

Using Photoshop to make interesting photos (after I take the interesting photos, first)

PC and video games.

Driving the speed limit.

Impersonations: Some are better than others, though.

Minecraft.

How tall I am. Sometimes, they ask if I play basketball. My response is "Only in video games".

My age (they're surprised that I'm older than I look).

4 favorite books:
"2001: A Space Odyssey" by Arthur C. Clarke.

"'Salem's Lot" by Stephen King.

"Flight of the Old Dog" by Dale Brown.

"The War of the Worlds" (read by Leonard Nimoy), by H.G. Wells (I had that on cassette tape MANY years ago, and would just keep listening to it over, and over, and over...)

4 favorite movies (Gosh, this is tough...):
"Transformers" (2007)

"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982)

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975)

"The Shining" (1980)

4 favorite TV shows:
"Transformers Prime" (The Hub)

"Doctor Who" (BBC America)

"Babylon 5" (I have the whole series on DVD!)

"Battlestar Galactica" (This is also all on DVD)

4 favorite musical groups (This one is also very tough...):

AC/DC (They ROCK. 'Nuff said)

ZZ Top

Flogging Molly (Irish punk band)

Journey

4 favorite foods:
Spaghetti

Pizza

Velveeta Shells and Cheese

Hamburger stroganoff

1. God

2.Freedom

3. My car

4. My cameras!

5. Air

6. A computer (with Photoshop on it!)

Whether what I'm doing is what God wants me to do.

Finding a higher-paying job (as I mentioned up at the "What I'm doing with my life" section)

New jokes for my joke book I'm trying to make.

At home, on my computer. Or at work, depending on my schedule. Wednesdays and Sundays are my normal "weekend".

I still live at home. Just want to get that out of the way. I really want to have my own apartment, but I can't afford to right now (I'm looking for either a second job, or a better-paying job). If this is a problem, then so be it, but I want to be up-front with this.

You're a girl who's looking for a kind, decent, respectful, honest, Lutheran guy who has a sense of humor that will make you groan and laugh, in that order.

You like photography/Photoshop!

You like books, movies, and video games (Not a requirement, but bonus points if you do!)

You want to.

I always reply to any message I get (on the rare occasion I get a message/reply to a message). I have plenty of experience with being ignored on here, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
