Heya, I'm Mike, assuming I exist, and indeed, that the chair I'm
sitting on does. (*)
People tend to say I'm practical and logical. I don't see the point
in gifts of flowers, I don't do small talk. I get bored if a
conversation doesn't have some sort of purpose/meaning to it.
'What's up?' will only get you the sky, or possibly the
ceiling.
I'm generally comfortable in shorts/jeans and a t-shirt, although
Oxford has been getting me more used to wearing suits and gowns and
other posh clothing items.
What I don't want:
Smokers. Sorry, it just makes me want to leave the room.

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
I'm currently studying Maths & Computer science in Oxford
University. After that I'm heading for some job working with
computers.
Other than studying I write software for various people, and read a whole load of books.
I also fix people's computers, I'm the local go-to guy for that sort of problem.

I'm really good at
Working things out, and researching stuff. I've found with most
stuff, given a short amount of time I can find and assimilate
enough information to make a reasonable hash of it. Or what's
probably more important, to know when it's over my head and being
able to find the right person to help.
Things I'm actually good at though:
Music, in the form of Piano & Percussion
Orienteering, at least compared to any other sports I do
Computer stuff in general

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
I'd guess that I'm a male human.
Or more usefully, the first interesting thing people notice about me is that I'm generally doing *something*. It's rare that I'll sit somewhere and just do nothing, at the very least I'll have a Sudoku puzzle or something.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Having read so many, picking out some favorites is tricky, to say
the least.
I like Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Crime novels, Comedy and Romance.
Some of the authors I can see more prominently on my shelves are Garth Nix, E. E. Doc' Smith, Isaac Asmiov, H. G. Wells, Terry Pratchett, Orson Scott Card, Robert Heinlein.
A particular favorite, I keep re-reading parts of Yes Minister, and Yes Prime Minister
I also read a whole load of stuff by smaller authors published online.
Movies, what I've listed above + Thrillers, and things with many explosions. Special Effects are cool.
Music, whatever's on the radio. I've got stuff like Green Day, Razorlight, Queen, Simon & Garfunkel, Billy Joel, McFly, The Beatles on my laptop at the moment.
Food, has to be Ice Cream. Preferably Mint or Chocolate. Various sweets also make a regular appearance.

The six things I could never do without
My Computer & The Internet. Which of course implies power,
telecommunications, being able to live i.e. food, water, sleep and
so on.
Assuming basic living, and any prerequisites and so on:
1) Computer/Internet
2) Thought. Even when things are at their worst, you can plan, think of ways out, escape into your dreams. I couldn't live with being mentally handicapped.
3) Someone to talk to. Even if I hated them, it's better than being stuck on your own.
4) I'll come back to this I think.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Many many random subjects. Anything I see or hear frequently gets
some attention devoted to it.
Recurring thoughts:
Pick some new piece of technology, physics etc. How would the world change?
Or for a variant, I have a new piece of technology. How could I change the world to be a better place?

On a typical Friday night I am
Hanging out with friends. Generally talking or playing some sort of
console game.
Or if I feel less sociable, deep into a book, or on the internet.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I have social anxiety. I go out quite a bit, but you'll rarely find
me talking to people I don't know well.
