I'm 27 years old, a geek, and relaxed.

I'm big into movies, I enjoy music.

I also do a lot of writing. Short stories, poems. I'm pretty big into 3D Art, I spend a lot of my time digitally doodling. And I'm a video game nerd.

I'm a genuinely nice guy. I try to do the right things in life, and get by with a few laughs. I'm the type of person to laugh in any situation no matter how inappropriate it may be.

I get glared at a lot because of it. This makes me laugh. It's a dirty little circle.

I have asperger's syndrome. Which in the end, isn't really a big deal at all. If you don't know what it is, it's a type of social autism. I think it sounds a lot worse than it is. Eye contact, smiling, variations in voice inflection, changes in expression. I have to remember to do all of these things and it takes a surprising amount of concentration to try and do all that. So sometimes I come off as aloof or a little slow. It's not a big deal, and I try my best. I just like people to know it going in.

I'm trying to find my center (and not the center I touch at night). That little slice of heaven (which I don't believe in) that let's me know I'm going in the right direction (usually I go left) and that everything is okay with the world (even though I'm way too cynical to acknowledge this, should it ever happen, which it probably won't).

I've worked a lot of different jobs (which were all beneath me), I've attended a few different colleges (I was too smart, so they gave me my money back), and I'm having a hard to settling down with one thing (but two things at once sounds hot). But I know sooner than later, the thing (possibly Ben Grimm) that really makes me happy is going to show up.

At the moment I'm out of work due to a pretty intensive spine surgery. Getting myself healthy and back on track.

Occasionally I do commission work, 3D art

I'm also on this huge self improvement kick. I'm eating right, I'm working out all the time. Feels good. Glad I started doing it.

This is kind of a loaded question. I'm awful at sports. Suck at scrabble. Pretty good at dredging up totally useless facts that only seem to fascinate me and the occasional Trivial Pursuit enthusiast.

I'm a half way decent writer. Or so I tell myself.

Should I really list 'video games' here? Is that really sad?

And I'm actually going to go ahead, and straight up lie to finish this off.

I kick ass at bear-to-hand combat.

I tend to be really quiet. And not quiet in that awkward shy way. I just happen to be quiet!

Also, I admittedly have a hard time smiling (this is directly related to the asperger's syndrome) and it can be really off putting for some people. It's something I've been trying to work on for years.

Some people have told me I can be intimidating. I really hope I'm not. Because I'm a total fool once I do start talking.

-Computer. I get how nerdy that sounds. But it's my damn life line.

-Humor. I find humor in everything. Even in the most inappropriate places. Usually in the most inappropriate places.

-Writing. I've got a lot in my head I need to get out. Writing is the best way.

-Quiet. I love having a little peace and quiet. Closing my eyes, and chilling out.

-Sleep. Much like quiet, I adore sleep. I love it. I can never get enough of it. Plus you die if you don't sleep. So it really kind of works out pleasantly.

-Companionship. Kinda corny, right? I know it is. But you really don't realize how much you miss being close with someone, the feeling of having someone around you trust enough to just be a total fool in front of until you haven't had that person in a real long time.

Penguins, and/or Puffins. I see those damn things everywhere now.

But more often than not, I do my best to refrain from deep thoughts.

Sure, occasionally I'll delve into the deep dark pit and think about my future or what I want from life. But really? Thinking isn't going to do me any good.

I'll trip and fall into my future. It's the only direction I can head, anyway.

Now this question just makes me feel bad. Honest truth?

I'm usually sitting right here, talking to other people sitting right there.

Know what? I don't feel bad about it. Less of a headache than hanging out down town.

I really like Pokemon. Pikachu is fuckin' adorable. And you know it.

How 'bout something real private?

As smart as I am, the more I try to learn and grow, all I really want is to live a really ignorant, simple life. Sometimes I want to be so ignorant I don't even know I'm ignorant. The more I learn, the more sure I am this is the only way for someone like me to be content.

Finally! An easy one. 'bout time.

Message me if you want to take a chance. Talk to someone who is decent and chill.

Message me if you want to talk and bullshit. Friend in need and all that.

Message me if you want to geek out over an episode of Torchwood or Doctor Who.

Message me just because.
