I'm a very perceptive person; whenever I consider an issue or an object, I see a lot of potentially (or actually) highly relevant context. So when faced with something that has significant ramifications -like first impressions, or writing an online profile... - I have a hard time deciding what needs to be said and what can be left unsaid.
... "I'm always aware of the big picture, so I can be very wordy at times.". Hey, I'm getting better at this ;)

The most governing factor in my life is time. There's only so much you can get done in the time you're given on earth, so I do my best to make the most of it that I can. I won't settle for half a life or a mediocre self; I am always reaching higher, further, for a more beautiful existence. Occasionally I forget to give myself credit for how far I've come, and just feel frustrated with how much I see myself *not* living/doing/accomplishing.

Self-development, as always! Trying to make more positive things the core of my life. The main drive behind my life is self improvement; Every night I fall asleep looking forward to being a newer, shinier, and *better* me in the morning (or afternoon, depending on when I'm waking up :P). And no, not consciously - just in general.

Analysis, perception, empathy (where desired), comprehension. I am downright incapable of understanding people who don't /want/ to be understood, which sounds redundant but isn't.
Keeping a constructive attitude.

I'm pretty good at Video Games though I try not to play very much. See above. I'm wired for Math as well, but the furthest I've taken it is calculus, so I can't keep up with all my specialist mathematician/compsci friends.

Either my hair or my eyes. Depending on where I am, possibly how I'm dressed.

/snicker/ I have a friend who wears a kilt and has what I'd call a 'stronger' presence than I do, so around him the most immediate impression people get is that I am quiet. Which isn't necessarily true, that's just how disparity/contrast works.

Slant by Greg Bear. I like most of Greg Bear's work, but some of it's just a tad too weird for me. I liked the first five books of Wheel of Time, and though it picked up a bit in the last one, now Robert Jordan's passed on, so...
Fantasy's good too. Weis and Hickman. L.E. Modesett. I don't make much time for reading these days. I've read so much that I've become a perfectionist for good writing; anything less just irritates me. I don't have the time to find books I think are worth reading.

I liked Solaris with George Clooney quite a bit. Lots of reasons why, ask me if you really want to know :P
Earlier Cohen brother stuff. Fargo/Man Who Wasn't There. Big Lebowski was pretty good as well, but Intolerable Cruelty and beyond was all just a bit too inbred of writing for my tastes.
Adaptation was both awesome and hilarious. Identity I liked, even though it was a tad predictable. On that note I can say the single largest challenge for me is finding a movie that isn't predictable. That is the single most likable factor in a movie to me.

Music's entirely dependant on my mood with the exception of Rap and Country. I have a friend in a country band, though, so I've slowly been learning to enjoy it. I'm most fond of what I'd call 'meditative' music. I don't know the proper name/definition of that genre, if it has one.

I'm most fond of foreign food. Thai/Japanese (Sushi included)/ Indian are my regular favorites. Italian is always good.

Six seems like such an arbitrary number, heh.
- Internet
- Friends
- Prospects
- Our Weather
- Spirituality
- Sex

The macro picture, and the big pictures that comprise it. As a person is comprised of how they relate to their gender roles, the social conditioning and history thereof that comprises said roles, their experiences and perceptions... no one of these is a small thing in and of itself. And that's just one little human being.

Either working or whatever suits my whims for the night. I may be at the Mercury dancing and being social, I may be at a ballroom dancing class with a friend of mine (I don't know what kind of ballroom dancing specifically, as this coming week will be the first time I'll be going). I might just be at home trying to relax and unwind, or out seeing if I can't strike some sparks with a member of the... I'm not going to say *fairer*... but prettier, sex.

I don't know if it's our entire world - something to do with the internet? - our country, our city, or just me, but I don't know that many people who take the initiative to keep in touch with each other anymore. And no Facebook doesn't count.
That being said, I always get a slight flush of satisfaction whenever my phone unexpectedly rings or beeps a text at me...

That's tough to say. I invite anyone to contact me who thinks they have a good reason to - and I can't say what that may be. I could write a list of why you shouldn't, but it'd be both long and vague.

How about I just tell you where I'm at and you decide for yourself? You'd have to be at least intelligent enough to make that decision for yourself for me to be interested.
I'm working on certain things in my life that make me think I may not be ready for a relationship; but then I do have high standards for myself and it's likely if I waited 'til I thought I was ready, I'd never be *laugh*.
I am looking for casual partners/dating - Queue chorus of women going "Typical!" :P. I do know I have both the capability and desire to show you and have a good time - maybe the best time you'll ever have ^_~ - though I haven't decided if emotional commitment would be of interest or healthy to me.
