OkCupid is Free Online Dating.

When not lighting orphanages on fire so I can claim I saved kittens from them, I'm your mild mannered Clark Kent, minus the name and nice hairdo. I'm at a point right now where I could go to just about any path I choose, but that choice is hard to make. Partly because they're all so enticing and partly because I'm so worried I'll mess them up.

I like to help people in any way I can, which explains the interest in politics, teaching, and social issues. It makes me feel good to see someone else smile or make someone else laugh, even if I look like an ass in the process or get nothing out of the deal. I wouldn't say that I'm empathetic, but I do try to see things from all sides, even if I disagree with one.

I'm rather easy to entertain and please. I'm told I have a loud laugh, but that's only because I hope it's infectious. And let me tell you, I can laugh at almost anything. A little careless with money and "healthy foods", but the docs haven't found anything yet and I'd rather have another steak than another day. You only have one life, and I'd rather spend it with friends than on a treadmill.

The flip side is that I'm initially shy and reserved. A life of moving has left me with little confidence in my social skills, and so I usually won't approach anyone. If someone approaches me, then I'm a-okay. I might be quiet at first, but when I get comfortable I really open up.

I'm still a kid at heart: I still play video games, have action figures, and maintain a small Lego collection. If that kind of thing bothers you, I recommend you just move on to another profile. Too many adults these days pass up fun in the name of it being "childish". Seriously, when's the last time you had a good nerf gun battle? Shit's awesome.

I'm finishing up my Bachelor's in Computer Science and beginning to look for a job. I don't know what I'll do or where it will take me, I'm kind of leaving that up to fate. I don't actually know what I want to do with my life, so for the time being I'm just rolling with the whole "Programming" thing.

In the mean time, I'm working to better myself. I try to exercise daily, I've just started Tae Kwan Do (and rather enjoy it), am working at becoming more social. I need to learn to just take a blind jump for my life to become awesome, but I'm not quite there yet. I still need to know there's a net of some sort.

Once upon a time I wanted to be the Andrew Carngie of small websites, and perhaps that's something I'll yet achieve.

Programming (mainly web stuff)
Organizing (I fucking love organizing, it's insane)
Dance Dance Revolution
Laughing at everything
Explaining technical things

My speaking voice
My constant smile

1) INTERNET
2) Something that can access the internet
3) My Car
4) My mom
5) A notebook of some sort (and accompanying pen)
6) That gray stuff in my head

everything. My mind tends to wander all over. Mostly I think about what could be, and reactions to potential events. It usually winds up using something you'd see on the Sci-Fi channel, like psychic powers or superheroes. Move cows with my mind, hot damn.

watching USA. I love Monk and Psych and House. I may also be practicing Tae Kwan Do. I'd love to go out someplace, but Lowden is an hour from anywhere. With gas prices the way they are and nothing that gets me super excited, best to just stay home and save the money.

I still pick my nose now and then. (Don't worry, I use tissues afterwards.)

you feel like it. I generally have a rigorous entrance exam just for speaking with me, including short essay on world geography and a fitness test, but just for you I'll make an exception. So long as you can use complete sentences and require oxygen, feel free to use any of the 13.8x10³ ways OKCupid allows you to contact me. Or you can IM me over AIM at RyoShinX. (You may also choose to communicate with me via the internet, I hear that's popular these days.)
