I'm a pretty shy guy, but a good one. Looking for someone who shares a few of my interests and doesn't mind a geek.

I've lived in London for about 2 1/2 years having moved here after getting a job, before that I was enjoying the student life. I'm a big fan of rock and metal music, but so far I've been unsuccessful in my attempts to being an amazig guitarist.

For someone who hasn't read many comics, I know a suprising amount about them. This is probably because I work for a company that both publishes and sells them. That said, the ones I have read (Watchmen, Batman: Hush) I really enjoyed.

I'm a big fan of Ultimate Frisbee, which I've played since I was at school (so I should probably be better at it really...), there are loads of teams in London so it's been great for that.

Wondering where to go for my next holiday and successfully losing weight and getting fitter and healthier after a bout of laziness. Also getting interested in photography, so looking for inspiration for that as well. Trying to figure out how to combine my career in web development with my desire to do something altruistic.

Thinking about taking snowboarding lessons and getting into rock climbing.

My appearance, I'd imagine. That's probably not a helpful answer though, so I guess I most often get compliments about my eyes.

I'm quite a shy person, in the way that some people tend to be - fun and relaxed after a while but nervous and guarded around new people.

Books:
- Science fiction (old and new)
- Stories about dystopian societies
- I really enjoyed "Homicide" by David Simon
- I am ashamed to admit I enjoy Dan Brown's books despite the fact that they all have the same plot and characters.
- Discworld Novels, though not so much lately
- R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt novels, I'm a sucker for exciting swordfights and the little essays between each part of the books are often very thought-provoking.
- I'm slowly working through a backlist of books I've been told I should read.

Movies:
- I like big budget / low intelligence stuff. You know, Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, Armageddon, Day After Tommorrow
- I also really enjoy those offbeat drama films where the main story is about the fact that the main character is suffering from some mental condition. Garden State, Numb, Birds Of America and Rachel Getting Married would be good examples
- I don't really seek out those witty gangster films though I do tend to enjoy them when I see them. I prefer imperfect/broken (see above) characters to witty dialogue.
- Loved Shawshank Redemption
- I will frequently say that Terminator 2 is my favourite film, there's something optimistic about the ending, which is ruined by the insistence on making sequels.
- Comic book movies like Spider-man, X-Men, Batman, Superman etc. Kind of curious to see what they do with the Flash and Green Lantern.

Television:
- House, Heroes, 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, Bones, Family Guy, Futurama, Firefly, Dexter, The Wire, True Blood, Californication, Castle, Buffy, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, QI, Battlestar Galactica, Sanctuary, Numb3rs, The Mentalist, Lie To Me, Castle, Dollhouse, Doctor Who

Music:
- Some modern indie rock, the more mainstream stuff though
- Symphonic and Melodic Metal (Nightwish, Sonata Arctica etc)
- Progressive Rock/Metal, there's something strangely fulfilling about those extended instrumentals... Dream Theater and Vision Divine would be my main examples.
- A wonderfully shameful selection of power ballads and cheesy pop songs.

Hard to say, I tend to bounce around between a number of hobbies. But...

- Food
- Cake (deserves to be distinguished from food)
- Frisbees
- Music
- Film/TV
- My friends

I think a lot about the future, both mine and in general. Things like society and where it's headed (I don't necessarily think it's all bad!), I'm big on thinking so I'll usually overthink any topic that someone happens to bring up.

I would say going out with work people, but that seems to have died down a bit with this recession thing. So at the moment I'm either catching up on some television, watching a film or seeing friends.

I have The Lion King on DVD, no other Disney movies, just The Lion King. And I'm a big fan of sci fi.

You like people with quirky ways of looking at things and don't mind someone who indulges in their geeky side (frequently, and often inappropriately).
