I am dramatic, geeky, and whimsical.

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. I just don't believe in letting life hold you back--where there's a will, there's a way!

For those of you interested, I'm an INTP in the MBTI/Jungian personality typing system, and I score as Artoo-Detoo in my own Star Wars Personality Test. I'm also an armchair philosopher and a wannabe artiste.

My blog can be found here: The WhimWham.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm currently completing a degree in Computer Science (with a major in Web and Networks, complemented with a lot of Mathematics and some Philosophy for good measure).

I tried my hand at Communication Studies, but somewhere along the way I decided that working at McDonalds was not a career path I wanted to pursue.

Next year I plan to do an honours year in Computer Science before moving onto postgraduate research in artificial intelligence.

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: I'm an unapologetic Star Wars fan--love or hate the prequels, there's no denying the original trilogy's place in the cinematic sci-fi pantheon. Other favourites include Army of Darkness, The Big Lebowski, Brazil, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, The Dark Crystal, Ed Wood, Mulholland Dr., Rushmore, Stop Making Sense, This is Spinal Tap and Tron. (In general, I'm a fan of Terry Gilliam, David Lynch, Tim Burton, Sam Raimi, George Lucas and The Coen Brothers).

My last trip to the cinema involved seeing a 70mm print of Titanic, believe it or not.

Music: My tastes tend towards art rock/progressive rock and the artier New Wave stuff, but in general I tend to listen to artists and bands such as... Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd and The Police, David Bowie, Lindsey Buckingham, Kate Bush, Devo, Eagles, Genesis, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Porcupine Tree, Prince, Roxy Music, Talking Heads and Yes.

My last concert was Alice Cooper's Theater of Death, but other acts I've seen live include Roger Waters, The Police, Toto, Porcupine Tree, Devo, Hoodoo Gurus, Cheap Trick, Kate Miller-Heidke, John Mellencamp, David Byrne and Billy Ocean. 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.

Foods: anything involving pasta, rice or potato.

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

Politics, moral quandaries, music, story ideas, various puzzles, the best way to encapsulate big ideas in small spaces, the nature of reality, and how to answer these bloody questions without looking like a complete wanker.

On a typical Friday night I am

Relaxing by watching a movie or at a concert somewhere.

And/or out on a killing spree.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm actually a pretty normal person.
