Wow... after changing this thing many times, you start to realize just how difficult it can be to define somebody in a few sentences.

I suppose you could say I'm a very unusual person. I love video games, but I can't play them too much because I get overwhelmed. I love literature, but I tend to only read genre fictions (scifi or fantasy, though you'll catch me with different stuff from time to time) or things written before 1980. I have no idea what passes for modern anything, be it fashion or writing or, I can't think of a third thing.... uhh... sundries.

I have a Warhammer 40k army, but I don't usually play. Hard to get motivated. I do really enjoy painting and converting stuff, though.

I work part time at an amazing store that sells amazing goods while attending school. I have a few very close friends, and I'm impressively loyal to them.

I love meeting new people, for friends or for more, but expect to be offended at least twice by something I've said in the first three minutes of talking to me.

I am currently working as a supervisor in an awesome store while I save money to pay next semester's tuition. I am also constantly on the look out for parts to build the myriad of inventions that flood out of my mind and into my work space.

I also spend quite a bit of time building bizarre, motorized, LED lit designs, assimilating all the information I can get my hands on, and reading fun physics literature. I also read comic books sometimes.

I also play quite a few video games, though I tend to drift more towards old point and click adventure games than anything else. My town in Animal Crossing: City Folk is called Innsmuth (Innsmouth wouldn't fit) and my character is called Bronson. If this makes you laugh, message me!

I am talented in the fields of writing, electronics, and general tinkering. I am also of the rather arrogant opinion that I can fix pretty much anything. I have a compassionate spirit that makes me a good confidant and therapist, which is something I considered doing as a profession.

I have also recently rediscovered my love of the sciences. I hope to bring my math back up to my old standards, when I could do calculus in my head. Right now I sometimes have trouble with multiplying decimals in my head.

I am very good at teaching, and used to do it semi-professionally. I intend to go back into teaching in the future.

Aside from my size, as I am tall and broad shouldered, many notice my delightfully upbeat personality and ability to randomly jump in to any topic of conversation. I also walk with a limp at times, so I often use a cane or walking stick when I am out on the town. I have several of assorted varieties.

I am also told that I have a pleasant laugh and an incredibly positive attitude. I learned years ago just how dangerous pessimism can be so now i prefer to err on the side of awesome.

I read any books that come my way, but lately I have been drawn to hard SciFi (such as William Gibson and Thomas M. Disch) and hard contemporary fantasy (such as George R. R. Martin). I also have a deep love for Terry Pratchett, but not in the sense you're thinking of. That's just sick. I have also taken to reading many of texts about skepticism (James Randi is my hero) and physics texts.

I loves horror films, classic science fiction, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Akira Kurosawa has a special place in my heart, as does John Ford and Sergio Leone.

I will listen to any music with a decent beat that doesn't sound like clicks and whistles, but mostly I enjoy Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, most of the contemporary rock and "alternative" rock, and some of the more bluesy country. To drop names, consider The Hold Steady, The Can't See, Bob Dylan, Blackfield, Pokey LaFarge, the Rumdrum Ramblers, the Monads, Rolling Stones, Harvey Danger, Murder by Death, and so on. If I made a complete list I'd probably crash the okCupid servers.

I enjoy food, and will eat most foods, though I still have many of the odd food quirks of my youth. I make a mean mushroom bruschetta and a meaner garlic bread. I was nearly killed by a horde of girls for my toffee recipe, but was able to escape with my life.

I would have a difficult time adjusting to life without:

Books
Friends
the Internet
Family
Personal Projects
my Chinchilla

But would not mind a lack of:
Cults who take advantage of others
People who touch me unexpectedly
People who make jokes about stealing/eating my chinchilla
People who believe in free energy, "anti-gravity", and the power of the mind.

... and two other things I just can't think of right now.

Death and ways to avoid it, ways to simplify scientific theory into easily digestible blocks for the masses, sex, and branching internal mental fictions from a variety of topics (which I feel kind of awkward about mentioning).

Friday used to be my gaming night, but it was moved to tuesday night so as to work better with everyone's schedules. As a result, my Friday nights are usually boring unless I decide to break out the telescope.

I enjoy anime, but hide it well.

I read textbooks in the bathroom.

I cried when Fry's dog died.

Oh, and I can be really kinky.

You should message me if you want somebody fun to talk to, but not if you need sound financial advice. I'm not that great at holding on to my money.
