My self-summary
I'm Rob! (7 out of 100 done, kick ass!)

To start, I love literature and poetry. I'm also pretty keen on film and television. To me, the only thing more attractive than a girl that is well read is one who writes good poetry.

I love conversation. It's strange because I'm also very shy and reserved. I'm not normally comfortable in social situations. But I like talking to people and I love being with people (I've been told that I sort of bounce when I'm around other people). And I really like people who I can have good conversations. People who say things that are witty and thought provoking. People who actually understand and have thoughts about things. People who don't think the height of wit and culture is quoting Family Guy because I said something that vaguely corresponds to the scene.

As someone pointed out to me years ago, I am a geek, just a different type than your normal geek. I obsess over movies and literature and poetry. I actually can recall the plot of every movie I've ever seen and can identify any movie I've ever seen from just a random few seconds of the film (sometimes I can even identify movies I've only seen trailers for many years back). I like comic books, and anime, and playing video games, and playing board games. I'm not into pen and paper role-playing games (I hates 'em), and I'm not too keen on doing anything with computers beyond browsing the web, watching streaming video (I like Hulu), and typing. I also have this compulsion to collect sets of things. I work very hard to suppress it because I fear that one day it will consume me.

In the past, it's been easier for me to develop crushes on girls who have shared some of these interests with me, although it isn't mandatory.

I'm a fairly active person. I like to exercise and workout, and in the past few months I've started going back to the gym. I also like taking long walks and swimming. I don't need someone who is super-athletic, but I would like a girlfriend who at least enjoys some kind of exercise or physical activity. It encourages me to take better care of myself and stay in shape, and I'd like a partner who would enjoy doing physical activities with me.

I'm also a very spiritual person, although I subscribe to an eclectic minority faith. I don't need a girlfriend that believes exactly what I do, but I do need someone who would be accepting and tolerant of my beliefs.

I tend to be a very scattered person. My attention drifts from subject to subject rather quickly, and I go off on weird tangents in conversations, only to return to the original matter hours later. My thought process and my imagination work much the same way.

What I’m doing with my life
Opening with the positive, I just got a job working for the state, and I'm very excited and happy about that. It's not my dream job, or salary, but I've been unemployed for a while, and it's a nice and stable job with descent pay and benefits.

Once I get some money saved and a few bills paid off, hopefully in the next couple months, I'm going to start looking for a better place to live.

Right now I'm also exploring e-publishing. I love to write, and I think I might be good enough to make a side-income publishing that way.

I just graduated from a trade program last year, and that didn't work out to well for me. I still owe money on it. Once that's paid off, I'm going to seriously consider returning to school once again.

The first things people usually notice about me
I've been told I have awesome hair. Not the style or anything, just the actual characteristics of it. Even when it was short. Hair dressers have even told me this (one described it as model hair).

People have also told me that I tend to convey most of my expressions through my eyes.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
A. I love books, particularly literature and poetry. And I have good, even snobbish, tastes. My most favorite book is Peter and Wendy.

I also like Shakespeare and Chaucer and Milton in their original Middle English. Some of the more modern books I've enjoyed include Dracula, Lolita, and The Fountainhead. Some of my favorite poets are Byron, Keats, Blake, Poe, and Eliot.

I recently read Mother Night and it's one of my new favorite books.

I'm also a fan of comics (something about me and superheroes) and love the works of Miller and Moore (The Dark Knight Returns and The Watchmen especially and respectfully), but Identity Crisis stands out as my favorite. I've also really liked Red Son, Lucifer, Sandman, Hitman, Kick-Ass, and the original Morrison run on Animal Man.

B. My favorite film is American Beauty. Some of my other favorites are The Searchers, Casablanca, The Fisher King, and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. Some films I've really liked from the last decade are Stardust, Bubba Ho-Tep, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, JCVD, and Sin City.

As for television I love Cowboy Bebop. I used to be obsessed with that show, but I've gotten better. I also used to be obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Lately I've been watching The Venture Brothers, Chuck, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Community. At my sister's bequest, I recently started watching True Blood too.

I used to be really into anime (I even had a Slayers fansite almost ten years ago). Granted I haven't been watching it much in the last few years. After Cowboy Bebop, it became really hard for me to watch and anime without thinking that it wasn't nearly as good as Cowboy Bebop.

C. I like good bands. For a while I was into punk (The Damned, The Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmie's, Black Flag, The Violent Fems). I also have a soft spot for girl singers (Ingrid Michealson, Feist, Aimee Mann, No Doubt, and although I hate to admit it, Jagged Little Pill kicks ass). Some of the other bands I really like are Radiohead, The Strokes, The Flaming Lips, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The White Stripes, The Pouges, The Clash, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Jellyfish, Joy Division, Pale Young Gentleman, Bob Dylan, The Band, Pink Floyd, Sonic Youth, the Hives, and even though I get made fun of for it, Bare Naked Ladies' songs make me happy. If you can figure out how to describe my musical preference, please help me.

D. I like most foods. My grandfather's a full blooded Italian, and so I've been forced into loving all Italian foods (covered in a pound of cheese of course), and I especially like the seafood (Calamari, Fried Lobster). My mother was very much against eating anything different when I was a child, so it wasn't until I was all grown up that I had and loved things like Sushi, Thai food, Mexican food, Chinese food, seafood, yogurt, and tea. Currently I'm trying to learn to love wine and exotic cheeses, because I'd like to be the type of person that loves wine and exotic cheeses.

I'm pretty open to trying most anything. If pressed, I can usually manage to stomach even the worst foods. I do try to eat healthy though. I used to eat a very healthy diet where the only meat I ate was seafood, and I think I might be returning to that diet soon. I try to limit my candy and sweets. I stopped drinking soda, for the most part, and smoking years ago. I like being healthy, and I've never had serious issues being able to maintain a healthy diet that weren't financially motivated.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
I spend a lot of time thinking about a lot of things. I analyze books and films over and over again in my head. I'll think about poems and stories I want to write. I'll think about subjects pertaining to life, the universe, and everything (why are we here, where do we go when we die) and I'll usually find answers. To me they're riddles, and I like riddles.

A lot of times it's just boredom. I really can't stand having my mind idle, and when it is idle it'll drift somewhere.

On a typical Friday night I am
Alone and behaving. Maybe watching TV or reading a book.

It's those atypical Friday nights that get me into trouble.

My life tends to drift between the completely boring and regular and the completely surreal and unbelievable.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit
The 40 Year Old Virgin is, to me, the most depressing movie ever. While watching it I realized I have the same interests, and hobbies, and spend my free time just like Steve Carrel does. Every time I see it, I think I'm never going to get laid again.

I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 25-35
  • Near me
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
I'm at a point in my life where I'd really like to settle down with someone within the next few years, and so I'm mostly interested in meeting people who are also looking for a long-term relationship and eventually marriage.

I'm willing to casually date interested people who are open to seeing how things develop though, and I'd be interested in meeting new friends too.
