I am whimsical, geeky, and paradoxical.

My Self-Summary

An enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a fortune cookie, I'm a paradox whose mysteries have yet to be solved. In other words, a "self summary" is such a daunting task that I'm trying to avoid writing anything meaningful here.

However, it seems that everyone tries to weasel out of this section, and I refuse to be an OkCupid cliche! So, here goes...

I'm a geek who can fake "hip" well enough to not be a total misfit. Some people describe me as "talkative" while others say I'm quiet; really, I see myself as being quite social, and I'm willing to try almost anything new at least once.

For those of you interested, I'm an INTP in the MBTI/Jungian personality typing system, which is a shorthand for "geek" anyway. I'm also an armchair philosopher and a wannabe artiste.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm currently doing my honours in Computer Science, focusing on feature selection and evolutionary computing. I'm sure that sounds riveting.

When I'm not studying, however, I'm usually listening to music at home or going to concerts. I'd like to get back into writing as well, but time is always a factor.

I’m really good at

Meaty conversations, creative pursuits, making a fool of myself.

The first things people usually notice about me

1. My disability, obviously (Muscular Dystrophy)

2. My charming wit and stunning good looks

3. My humility

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, Dune by Frank Herbert, Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell.

Movies: Anything that's quirky without being too pretentious: Army of Darkness, The Big Lebowski, Brazil, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, The Dark Crystal, Ed Wood, Mulholland Dr., Rushmore, Star Wars, Stop Making Sense, This is Spinal Tap and Tron. (In general, I'm a fan of Wes Anderson, Terry Gilliam, David Lynch, Sam Raimi, George Lucas and The Coen Brothers).

Music: I'm a rock kind of guy. Having grown up on pop/rock, pub rock, soft rock, hard rock, progressive rock, art rock and AOR, it's really no surprise that that's where my tastes lie. My favourite artists are David Bowie, Kate Bush, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Pink Floyd, The Police, Porcupine Tree and Yes, to give you an idea.

My last concert was The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, but other acts I've seen recently include Billy Ocean, Alice Cooper, Fleetwood Mac and Porcupine Tree. Yes, I'm eclectic.

(For my last.fm profile, go here.)

TV: Carl Sagan's Cosmos, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth, Extras, Freaks and Geeks, Futurama, Shaun Micallef, The Office (the BBC version) and The Young Ones. Also enjoying True Blood and Breaking Bad at the moment.

Foods: anything involving pasta, rice or potato. (I'm a carb freak, I guess.)

The six things I could never do without

1. music 2. movies 3. air 4. food 5. water 6. someone to talk to

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Besides my study, I spend a lot of time thinking about life: its challenges, its rewards and how people often choose to hide from it instead of actively pursuing it.

I also think about more trivial stuff. I just spend a lot of time thinking in general.

On a typical Friday night I am

Relaxing by watching a movie or at a concert somewhere. Or talking someone's ear off.

Or out on a killing spree.

Actually, that last part is a joke. I do my killing on Thursdays.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm actually a pretty normal person.

You should message me if

...any of this profile made sense to you. In that case, we'll get along just fine.
