Profile Updated: April 12, 2008

I find it hard to be objective when people are describing themselves. Humans, as a social creature, tend to glorify the aspects of themselves they want to in the hope of connecting with others. This is great for reaching out but often leads to a misinterpretation of who we really are. For that reason, I've decided to start with everything I don't want you to know. It's my hope that after you get to know me, if you are willing to after reading all this, that you'll help edit my profile and highlight the true me. I'm a 90% match with myself and a 95% friend. Does that inherently make me narcissistic? That said, let's begin...

I'm at the 1/4 life mark and live in Los Angeles by myself. Deep down inside I still think I will live forever, either through technology or by not being willing to die. I can be aggressive but tend to back down quickly if challenged. If I've been drinking, I'm usually just an idiot.

I'm starting my first true career next week. I'm afraid of my boss, not on a personal level but because she's the professionally demanding type. That's not a bad thing in my book; my last boss didn't push me to succeed and I feel I've suffered because of it.

As I said, I live alone. I've done the roommate thing and now it's "me" time. I'm messy and sloppy because I have no good reason to be otherwise. I'm ok with being single but not opposed to dating. I don't have a bed and sleep on a makeshift bed mat on the floor. It's good for my back, but I'm really just too lazy to find a bed I like. I've done this for 4 years now. I have piles of dirty clothes in various locations because I hate doing laundry. I'll basically do laundry only when I run out of clothes for work. Again, it doesn't bother me so I don't do anything about it. I seriously need to dust.

I think big but hardly act on it. I can come up with great and wild ideas but never follow through with them. I have a pet project sitting in the corner collecting dust, a lot of dust. I think this project could revolutionize the world. That also scares me. TNT was developed by Alfred Nobel (of the Nobel Peace Prize fame) for mining and to save lives. It's been used to kill countless people.

I ride my skateboard to work. I have to wear a suit for work. This makes for an interesting commute. I live close to work because I hate traffic. I have a license but no car. I'm opposed to the useless burning of fossil fuels. I'm also opposed to the credit reporting system in the U.S. and refuse to finance anything. I could buy a car if I really wanted to, but I have bigger ideas.

When it comes to relationships, I will happily try to be friends with just about anyone. Beyond that, I afford myself the right to be picky. I view one's outward appearance as a reflection of how they see themselves. Low self esteem, a bad personality, or a negative self image are all deal breakers. Looking for self improvement isn't a negative self image to me. Eating a bag of Oreos while complaining about being fat, regardless of actual weight, is not appealing. You don't have to be a 5'6" blonde surfer girl, but I can't deny my track record. Age and maturity are major factors. I prefer dating women who are at a similar place in life, both in age and life experience. At my age, more than 4 years either direction is pushing it. I don't know why, but I find a sharp jawline really sexy.

I consider myself a problem solver with zero organizational skills. This means I can fix just about anything, but don't ask me to tell you how I did it. Don't expect me to do it again the same way either.

I can be overly detailed to a fault. I can be a perfectionist or completely careless depending on my mood. I'm amazing at carving pumpkins when I want to be.

I used to be a great computer programmer. I'm so rusty now I can't connected a web form to a database without looking it up. I pick things up quickly, so resetting that base knowledge comes easy.

I'm good at reading people and being empathic when I want to be. Sometimes I just ignore people completely. If I don't like someone, I will usually try to agitate them for fun. When I really like someone I will do the same thing to see how much they will put up with so I know my limit.

I talk big. I sound smarter than I really am. I'm not what people expect once they get to know me. I can be extremely charismatic, which really helps with part of my job.

Physically, it's usually my eyes. Look deep, deep, into my eyes... I can drastically change my appearance with a curl of my smile and flare of my eyes.

I try not to do favorites. I have a tendency to evaluate everything from both a side of interest and disinterest. I've been known to debate merit with myself.

I haven't read a book in ages. I read a lot of articles online ranging from current events to science.

I used to watch a lot of movies. I have a tendency to insert random movie and TV quotes into conversations. I'm extremely pleased when somebody notices and counters with a quote.

I listen to the radio or whatever anyone else is playing. I must be one of the few Americans left without an iPod.

If it's edible, I'll eat it. I love spicy food. If I haven't tried it before, don't tell me what it is before I eat it. I can't be picky about it until I try it that way.

I'd like to think I could live without anything. I know this isn’t possible so these are probably the six things I would need in a post-apocalyptic setting...

Survivability essentials - food, water, shelter. That's a given so I'm lumping them together.

Social interactions - positive or negative, I need them. I think I would quite literally go insane if I there was nothing for me to communicate with.

A sense of purpose - even if I'm just lying to myself, I need a reason to get up.

Technological progression - granted you can't really get rid of it, I just love it. What caveman could have ever dreamed that his fire would lead to the internet? What will happen that we can't even imagine yet?

A challenge - I don't need one all the time, but every once in a while. I need something to force me to feel productive.

Last, but hopefully not least, my brain - As my friend would say, "Mmm, Brains..."

Flying cars, far off planets, space and time travel, how to live forever, whether or not I'd want to live forever...

Typically, I'm sitting at home playing World of Warcraft. Guild raids are Friday nights. I really should be doing more with my life.

I never understood this question. If I admit it on the internet, it's not private. This is a learned lesson, not just an obvious point. In lieu of arguing the stupidity of this question, just read the profile. If you want to talk to me, go for it.

You want to? Again, another pointless prompt. If nothing I've said is of interest, chances are you probably won't want to message me. I'm not about to try to sway you in this last prompt.
