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

Neal Stephenson - Anathem
Previous book: Dave Duncan - Future Indefinite
Currently listening to: Lorena McKennit - Book of Secrets

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.

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.
