I am clever, brilliant, and passionate.
My Self-Summary
Okay I guess it's finally time to re-write this thing after two
years.
I should first point out a big thing: I'm currently in a
relationship with a lovely woman I met right here on OkC those two
years ago. We really love each other but are in an open
relationship, always have been. I point this out first because it
is a rather obvious deal-breaker for many and I'm not here to screw
around with anyone's feelings.
With that out of the way let's move on to, well, me.
Where to start? Well my name is Brandon. That was easy; what
now?
How about I start out with my physical appearance. That's also easy
and objective enough (sort of). I am rather skinny and somewhat
tall. I'll put some figures to that; I am 6'0" and weigh in at
around 120 pounds naked. That can go up to 125 after a couple big
meals with no...ahem...release. That's not to say I look like a
skeleton, far from it. I like to think that I have a nice abdomen
for a guy my weight. I may even put a picture up to give an
idea...maybe, don't really want to be one of those guys trying to
show off in the mirror.
I have rather long hair now, the pictures on my profile now show
this! It is now around shoulder length and it's really, really
thick. People tend to compliment it; haha of course others ask me
when I'm going to cut it.
I'll put up some new pics soonish. Ones that more accurately
reflect the Brandon of today.
I am quite intelligent. I love a good conversation or debate. I
would love to find someone that is the same in this regard.
I've been told I'm rather funny and I'd agree with that. That's
funny in the witty, clever kind of way. Sometimes even in a
snarky-asshole kind of way. I am not "funny" in that "lol that's so
random" class clown way.
I'm very sweet and kind to people I care about.
I enjoy playing video games (look at me, go figure) and watching
classic movies. I love politics. I'm very liberal in that regard
and would like you to at least not be conservative; could cause
some ugly arguments and no one likes that.
Oh, I also have a pet jenday conure (parrot) named Mango, a pet cat
named Kitty, and 13 pet rats with various unoriginal but highly
descriptive names such as: Blue, Tiny, Fuzzy, Dumbo, Whitey,
Squeaky etc.
And before you go, "Ew, rats!" I should point out that they are
awesome. They are really smart and extremely friendly. You reach in
their cage and they come over to lick your hand and get picked up.
Only downfall is that they do "go" a lot out of both holes making
for frequent cleaning.
What I’m doing with my life
I currently work at the GameStop here in Eldersburg. For those of
you not "in-the-know" about our little town here the reason I say
Eldersburg and the reason I'm listed as "Sykesville" is that they
both share the zip code, 21784, and are right next to each other.
Now you know and knowing is half the battle!
I went to the local community college for several semesters, ran
out of courses relevant to me (programming) and kind of stopped
going. But I intend to transfer to a 4 year school in the spring, I
need to see it through.
Like I said above, I'm dating a woman that I love very much. She
lives about 90 minutes away though so I see her every weekend (well
every 3 out of 4 at the moment). So it would be lovely to find
someone to spend the weekdays with and those 4th weekends.
I’m really good at
Video games
Making people laugh
Problem solving
Figuring people out
Debating/arguing
One thing I kind of want to add but feel almost stupid writing is
sex. I'm hesitant because, well, what guy wouldn't lie on here and
say that? But on the other hand my girlfriend insists that I'm "11
out of 10" (her words). So I'm going to leave that here because I'm
proud of it even though half of you will probably think I'm full of
it (with good reason, mind you).
The first things people usually notice about me
Well I suppose that is a tie between my weight and my hair.
Some people immediately comment on how thin I am. Asking if I ever
eat or, alternatively, saying they wish they could eat like me and
weigh what I do. I've even had strangers in my store accuse me of
having an eating disorder. Apparently I could only be this thin if
I was anorexic/bulimic or so the rude strangers tell me.
The other (now) obvious thing is my hair. Not only is it almost a
foot long but it is extremely thick. And after a wash it sits out
rather wide. My boss saw me walking in one day and complimented me
on my "pretty girl hair."
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Who am I kidding, I don't get around to reading much and I'm
not about to list something from 11th grade lit class.

Morricone, Michael Jackson (before he got married and started

Helper, various fast foods, everything plain
How about two more categories for the hell of it?

Olbermann, The Rachel Maddow Show, Forensic Files, Monk, Psych, The
Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and my all-time favorite: The
Upright Citizen's Brigade

X-Com: UFO Defense, Metal Gear Solid series, LittleBigPlanet, Gears
of War series, Final Fantasy series (some anyway)
The six things I could never do without
I'm not going to do the "funny" thing and list the obvious
necessities because that doesn't really say much about me. Well
other than, "Yep, he's a human too alright."
1) My car
2) My games
3) Sex
4) My loved ones
5) My glasses
6) Junk food
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Politics. At least I do when I find myself sitting in front of this
computer looking at sites like ThinkProgress and
MediaMatters.
How I'm going to budget out my paycheck week to week.
Sex. Just being honest again. I'm a guy that really likes it.
Mostly though just the end of the work week. It is a long boring
trudge to reach that point but it is the light at the end of the
tunnel every week.
On a typical Friday night I am
Well as I said above I will usually be with Anna, my girlfriend.
Though that has recently changed to 3/4 of Fridays (and, by
extension, weekends).
On those off weeks usually just sitting at home, maybe hanging out
with a friend. At home I'm usually playing a game or surfing these
tubes.
This is the reason I'm here. I'd love to find a girl to spend that
extra free-time with. Go to a movie, have a nice dinner, sit at the
house and cuddle. Anything fun.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
There's not a whole lot I'll keep secret. If you want to know
something about me, fire away. I'm not shy about answering.
You should message me if
You like what you've read.
You think I'm attractive.
You are okay with me having a girlfriend. (She is well aware of
this; hell, she encouraged it).
You want someone to talk to.
You want someone to hang out with.
You want a fun guy to hang out with/date casually.
I'm pretty friendly and will answer most, if not all, emails.
Apologies to those that went unanswered in the period before this
update. I didn't want to explain the whole girlfriend thing over
and over while giving the impression I was single.
