I am geeky, snarky, and fun.

My Self-Summary

Self introductions are so embarrassing... My name is Kevin, I graduated college a few years back and am working at a medical company as a Senior Software Engineer. I cannot live without my friends; they are the most important thing to me. I program computers, and watch sci-fi/fantasy/geeky TV shows. I am also a fan of anime and Japanese culture, aka what in America we call an otaku. I help staff at a local anime convention (oh why do I do a silly thing like that). I have recently started Tai Chi classes and Aikido classes.

What I’m doing with my life

I currently work as a software engineer (computer programmer).

When I'm not at work, I'm spending time with my friends, playing games, or being bored.

Untill recently I've been attending night class to learn Japanese (just for fun). I hit the limit of what that college teaches, so now it is down to raw memorization. I have recently began taking Tai Chi and Aikido classes.

There's a lot of things I would like to do...but...it would take far too long to put them down here.

I've been reading/studying/playing with PIC microcontrollers. It's been a lot of fun; though I have not made anything out of them... yet! I am debating re- engineering the DDR pad I made with it somehow.

I’m really good at

Computers, Programming, Anime, RPGs (console mostly), Board Games, Card Games, and various other random things.

The first things people usually notice about me

That I am a bit geeky and can be very shy (not to be confused with antisocial, which I am not) around people I do not know.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Anime & manga in general (mostly shojo) examples: Slayers, CCS, Saint Tail, His & Her Circumstances, Lucky Star, Kodocha (Kodomo no Omocha), Howl's (and other Miyazaki flicks) Did I mention Slayers?

Games: Card/Board Games - Munchkins, Flux, Robo Ralley, Settlers, etc...

Music: oldies(Beatles, Beach Boys, CCR, etc), j-pop, anime music, comedy, etc...

Books:
Disc World Series - Terry Pratchett
Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan
Sword of Truth, The Law of Nines - Terry Goodkind
H2G2 - Douglas Adams
Song of Ice and Fire - George R R Martin
Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash - Neil Stephenson

TV - Doctor Who, Buffy, Star Trek (TNG, all series), StarGate-SG1, SG-Atlantis, SG-Universe, Get Smart, Legend of the Seeker (Though not up to the books standards), some disney shows occasionally, Mythbusters, Big Bang Theory, Warehouse 13]], [Eureka, How I Met Your Mother

Video Games: Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, Tales, etc...

Tabletop: BESM and D&D 3.5/4.0

The six things I could never do without

In alphabetical order by 2nd letter, they are:

- Anime
- Computers
- Work(or the structure it provides)
- RPGs
- My Friends & Family
- My Parent's Cats (Though I miss them a lot since I moved out)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The future, and all the potential that it holds ...

When am I going to take my next trip to Akihabara...err, I mean Japan; or even to that random city a few hundred miles over that way.

Really nifty things.

Whatever is shiny nearby...oooh, shiny...

On a typical Friday night I am

I have no typical Friday night routine. I could be at Comedy Sportz with friends, out at a movie, or maybe I'll be at home relaxing from the week with some DVDs or whatever my Tivo has recorded for me.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

それはひみつです。(=That is a secret.) If you want to know something private you'll have to ask me. Alright, I'll tell you just one private thing here, but don't spread it around: I'm a geek.

You should message me if

... you want to? Seems obvious enough.
