i'm just this guy, you know? i live in bettendorf and i just acquired my
english BA from
st.
ambrose university. i have something of an obsession with
stories and all
the ways they can be told and experienced. i love books and movies
that tell their stories in unconventional ways. i enjoy video games that have
strong plots and interesting characters. i also enjoy role-playing
games (the kind you play around a table with real, live people)
for the same reason: collaboratively telling and experiencing
stories with friends is fun. i'm a geek.
note about children:
i just updated my details to say that i "dislike children." this
isn't wholly accurate. i don't really dislike them, i just don't
feel very comfortable with children. i'm never sure how to relate
to them accept as inconveniently small adults. oddly enough, this
sometimes works and results in the children liking me.
unfortunately, that only makes me less comfortable with them.
at the moment, i also have absolutely no desire to ever have
children of my own. i'm pretty sure i wouldn't be a very good
parent.

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
i'm working on my MLS through a distance education program with the
university of wisconsin - madison. this is my first semester.
i plan to be a librarian. i think i could enjoy that. and it's not as though anyone is going to make me stop writing just because i don't have an MFA. fuck that. i can be an unsuccessful fiction writer and a librarian at the same time!
i fully intend to apply to the iowa writers' workshop for next fall. i'm really excited about being rejected!

I'm really good at
i dunno. reading and writing, i suppose. at least, i'd like
to think i'm good at writing. some days i feel pretty good about
it, other days not so much.
and damn. i haven't written much at all since i graduated. i had this idea in my head for a story and i wrote about a paragraph on it then put it down. it's still in my head too. i really just need to set a few hours aside one of these days and write the damn thing.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
i believe i usually go unnoticed. this doesn't really bother me too
much. i'm not particularly comfortable being the center of
attention.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
i've been reading for fun again. this is probably a mistake, as
that time should probably be spent reading articles and books for
my classes. whatever.
i just read Making Money by Terry Pratchett (one of my favorite authors - i consider Discworld books the mental equivalent of "comfort food") and Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. I love the TV show Dexter so I decided I ought to check out the books. I'm about halfway through the second, Dearly Devoted Dexter, now. They are good.
feel free to take a look at my LibraryThing catalog if, you know, for some weird reason you want to know every book that i own.
Favorite movies is slightly easier but it's still a long list. However, two of my all time favorites are Trainspotting and Fight Club. The most recent really fantastic movie I saw was probably Pan's Labyrinth.
Most recently I watched Wristcutters: A Love Story and that was pretty goddamn fantastic. It's going on my mental list of favorite love story movies (that list also includes such moves as Punch Drunk Love, True Romance, The Princess Bride, and Natural Born Killers).
Musical tastes are pretty varied, but I tend to avoid the mainstream. My top two are Dan Bern and Firewater. lately i've listened to things like cake, amanda palmer, jenny lewis, the bastard fairies, yeah yeah yeahs, and wir sind helden.
for a more complete look at my musical tendencies, you can see my my last.fm profile, if that's the sort of thing you're into.
Food, I'm a big fan of asian cuisines: japanese, chinese, vietnamese, thai.

The Voltronic Creed:
I believe in one War, the Father, the Almighty, destroyer of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. Eternally begotten of the Father, Bomb from Bomb, War from War, begotten, not made, of one Being with the War. Through War all things were made. For us and for our salvation War came down from heaven; by the power of the Human Spirit it became incarnate . . . and was made man.
For War's sake humans are crucified, suffer death and are buried. On the third day none will rise again and none will ascend into heaven. War will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and its kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Human Spirit, the taker of life, who proceeds from the Father and the War. With the Father and the War it is worshiped and glorified. It has spoken through its profits. I acknowledge one War for the commission of sins. I look for no resurrection of the dead, and to the Wars of the world to come. Amen.
