I am quiet, distracted, and perfectionist.

My Self-Summary

I'm a quiet guy, frustrated at politics and cynical about religion. I like hiking, running, movies, books and good food. I'm a gamer to the core, mostly computer games not that I dislike consoles. I like card games, board games and RPGs.

I read voraciously, occasionally finishing a novel in a day. I will also go months without reading at times when I "run out of books"

I can get uncomfortable with silence mostly when I'm alone. Silence with another person really isn't the same kind of silence.

"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it." - George Bernard Shaw

What I’m doing with my life

Working a 9-5 with too many hobby projects on the side

Currently reading: Neal Stephenson - Anathem
Previous book: Dave Duncan - Future Indefinite

Currently listening to: Lorena McKennit - Book of Secrets

Currently watching: Castle & Dollhouse

I’m really good at

Being confused and seeing connections between things, like I know how to use my large vocabulary but I can't explain precisely what a word means.

I juggle, everyone that doesn't know how says I'm good.

Spending too long giving context on a summary.

Vividly imagining

The first things people usually notice about me

Probably my eyes or facial hair when I have it. *I have a beard at the moment but I'm very much not attached to it and cut it off at random intervals mostly when I get bored of it.*

Update 10/1: No facial hair, it was getting boring.

Nobody has mentioned what they notice first so I guess this is all in my opinion which isn't particularly helpful.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

As much as people love to fill this section with massive lists I am restricting it to 5 to show whats most important:

Books) Reluctant Swordsman, Game of Thrones, 9 Princes in Amber, Dune, Asimov(just in general)
Recent Favorite: Vernor Vinge - Marooned in Real Time

Movies) Matrix, Princess Bride, The Prestige, The Usual Suspects, Fifth Element
Recent Favorite: UP

Television) Firefly, Babylon 5, Daily Show, Sherlock Holmes w Jeremy Brett, Burn Notice
Recent Favorite: Dollhouse

Music) Vast, Queen, Evanesence, Capercaillie, Crystal Method

Food) Thai, Mongolian, Greek, Italian, Korean... not Fast Food
Current Favorite Restaurant: ZenYai Noodle House

The six things I could never do without

my computer, all of my friends, pencil and paper, stacks of books, copious amounts of water

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Work, Gaming(playing and creation of), Happiness, Sex, Travel and People. How people find so many meanings in things that don't mean anything.

Lately I've been thinking alot about what I'm doing next. Next week, next month, next job(still employed for the moment), next project.

On a typical Friday night I am

Running a Tabletop RPG or playing a board game(usually Arkham Horror) with friends. Sometimes going out to a party or movie.

For all that I have consistent plans for Friday, my Saturdays are usually far less busy. I have yet to figure out why this is.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I don't like wearing cotton socks that have been worn since washing, even for just an hour.

Also I like my pizza with no cheese, and yes its still pizza.

How much do people actually write private things here? Or is it always just random non-private factoids.

You should message me if

...you might be interested in meeting at some point.

I actually like it when people contact me, it shows you have initiative and thats always a good thing. Ask me anything, you may not get an answer but its sure to start a conversation.

While I am interested in talking to and perhaps meeting people who smoke, however I am not interested in dating anyone who smokes.
