Just the facts, ma'am. You're supposed to write something bubbly and saccharine in here, but that stuff gives you cancer. I'm pretty level headed, easy going, and game for anything. I tend to be cuttingly sarcastic, brutally honest, and will argue just because it's fun and passes the time. Despite my prickliness, I'm a devoted friend. I'm a little nerdy and try to be somewhat well versed in nerd culture, but I'm not devoted to following anything in particular. I'm adaptable and will take the lead or follow along as the situation necessitates. I'm intellectual and opinionated and enjoy working with my think box.

I'm Surface Warfare Officer in the US Navy. I drive around a 9000 ton warship when I'm not launching it's missiles. I don't get off from all that macho stuff, but watching a sunrise in the South Pacific is beautiful and moving. I also got to live in Japan for 3 years and have visited 8 other countries so far.

Making off the cuff jokes, dry or off color though they may be. Trying new things with a sense of adventure and enthusiasm. Brutal honesty.

Special skill: public math

My shapely nose! Or maybe my sweet hair, very pettable. Barring that, the drink in my hand perhaps. Maybe my discomfort around new people. But seriously, probably my nose.

Portnoy's Complaint, The Stranger, The Trial, The Story of O, A Song of Ice and Fire series, Star Trek: TNG, Farscape, Breaking Bad, Hung, House (on and off), Drawn Together, Daria, stand up comedy, Nobody Likes Onions, Morning Editon, many many movies, rock, chill out trance, hot jazz, some hip-hop and rap

air, water, food, shelter, sunblock, more time

This may look like the easy/ironic/cynical answer, but try spending 8 straight months at sea and too will learn how much you can do without.

But also, sunblock for reals. Did you look at my pics?

All the myriad fragments of disjointed thoughts that randomly stumble their way into my conscious mind.

Hanging out with friends either at a bar or someone's house. Or at home watching a movie with my feet up and a beer on my hand.

My dream job is to be a talk radio host.

You're cool with gingers.
