I am decidedly deist. I like to keep an open mind, and the range of people I call my friends is very large. I'm an avid fan of video games, mostly RPG games. I've been known to play Neverwinter Nights well into the after-midnight hours.

I'm going to IUPUI in the fall, where I will be majoring in Informatics.

I practically live on the Internet. I get tremors if I'm not connected for more than a week.

I play the viola. I used to play in an orchestra... did so for about seven years, in fact. But, see, the thing about me and large groups of people... we don't get along. A group of people is only as smart as the biggest idiot in the group, and the bigger the group, the more chances that someone within it is going to be a complete and utter idiot. So, naturally, seven years in an orchestra with typical teenage jackanapes have turned me away from more traditional, symphonic groups. That being said, I'm looking to start a pops group in the tradition of the Lucido Felice Quartet. Anybody? Please?

Why am I here? Well, that's a very good question. Mainly, I figure if I go ahead and check out who's around and what's going on in that big, wide world around me, maybe I'll find some kindred spirits. because I'm sure as hell not finding any where I live.

I am tall, ...semaphorical..., and ...multitudinous?

As I indicated above, I am going to IUPUI, and will be majoring in Informatics.

...video games, writing, being a general fun person... when I want to be. I can also be the guy who just sits in the corner and watches as everybody else goes nuts.

...is that they didn't notice me for the longest time.

...things that are really deep. I think really, really deep thoughts. Like, I go so deep, I can't come back up and surface for air, so I kinda just sit there, kinda half-dead. Yeah. -Those- kinds of thoughts.

...at home, playing Neverwinter Nights and surfing the Internet.

...itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat

...is that when no-one's looking, I sometimes attempt to play Queen on the viola. =D

...you like eighteen-year-old wannabe writers who play video games and have a clever but slightly hackneyed sense of humor.
