I'm affectionate and love to please, neurotic but adorable, fiercely loyal, and always honest. I'm an internet geek who hasn't forgotten what it's like to have fun. Do you think sitting around with me and spending an afternoon building with legos sounds like a good time? Then by all means, please read on.

Pretty much all my friends say they can't understand why I'm still single, but I think I might have an inkling of an idea - it's really hard for me to get to know people. I'm shy - I clam up, I just don't know how to put myself out there. The more I like a lady, the harder it is for me to say anything to her.

But I can promise you - give me a chance and I'll be well worth your time. There's a great treasure hiding inside me, and just imagine what it might be like to be the one to find it!

I'll get it right out there - I'm currently unemployed. At my age this is usually the dealbreaker, so if you've made it this far and want to keep reading, thank you!

I'm not looking for someone to take care of me - I'm living quite comfortably, and make a great deal of effort to find employment where I can. That effort just hasn't born fruit yet.

As for what I do outside of a job, I write, I draw, I sing, play and compose music, I make sculptures, design whole lego cities, and I'm currently building a dollhouse, just for fun. I have a degree in Philosophy from Bard College.

I've also been working on several books, and I've been developing my own table-top roleplaying system, and hope to get it published some day.

I love to think, learn and observe. I love to play devil's advocate. I'm a good listener with an open mind, and I treat people with unconditional respect.

I'm great at companionship. My friends adore me, and I do a lot with them. Roleplay, videogames, philosophical discussions, When I'm not doing a personal or artistic project, I'm on IRC, hanging out with them and enjoying their company.

I'm excellent with my hands, and have a sharp mind. So if there's something artistic, I've done it or tried it. If there's something intellectual, I've thought about it and researched it.

I'm tall, have intense eyes, and am cuddly.

I like to share what's on my mind to spite my shyness. I speak up whenever there's a lull in a conversation, but I'm quiet when I'm getting to know people for the first time.

Once I open up, I open up wide. I'm willing to share just about anything if I'm asked.

I love fantasy and sci-fi books, and while it may be unmanly to admit this, my two favorite books are The Princess Bride and The Last Unicorn.

My favorite movies are Ghostbusters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Star Trek is a guilty pleasure. In my childhood I enjoyed Flight of the Navigator, Short Circuit, and Willow. Other more recent favorites are Good Night and Good Luck, Inception, Hellboy, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I loved Wall-E, and need to see more of Pixar's recent work.

I love music of all kinds, but I especially love thematic music that I can use to help inspire my writing. Soundtracks from movies, videogames and anime are a big hit with me. Yoko Kanno's work is my absolute favorite.

I'm usually working on the computer, but enjoy videogames in my off hours. I'm a PC gamer first, but own a Wii for parties. I'm a big fan of First Person Shooters, RPGs, and online social games. My recent staples are League of Legends, Skyrim, Guild Wars 2 and of course Minecraft.

My favorite foods are (in no particular order) tomatoes, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, onions, garlic, beef stew, rice, olive oil, celery, simple things like that. Also, pizza is my life blood.

Information, my friends, my pencil, my paper, my sight and my hearing.

One of my favorite things to do is just sit and daydream. I have a great joy in creating characters, worlds, situations, and other things I can call my own. Any activity that lets me add a piece of myself to it is one that brings me a lot of happiness.

It's very rare when someone mentions a subject I haven't spent some time thinking about and researching because of my writing. Pondering is one of my favorite things to do in this world.

Late every Friday and Saturday night I run a roleplaying game based on the fantasy world I've made, and this has been going on for about 5 years now. I have about a dozen friends who've made characters, and using IRC I direct them as they stumble along through my plots and plot twists. It's a lot like improvisational theater.

This is easily the hardest part of the profile to write, but I'd rather answer these questions here, than chat with a lady and have the subject of my unemployment come up: I'm an adult diagnosed with PDD(NOS) - which can otherwise be known as Aspergers Syndrome.

I'm loathe to mention this because nobody really knows what it means, and it all too often makes people think I'm some kind of emotionless, empathy-less robot, which isn't the case. What is the case, however, is I can't tell how my behavior is coming across until after the fact, so I can be a bit blunt. (Like now.) But I do want to put my full, real self here - both the good and the bad. One person felt hurt when I told them this and it wasn't on my profile - and hurting one person is one person too many, for me. So here this information sits. I sincerely hope it doesn't drive you away.

Social anxiety disorder is another thing I have to deal with. Those two diagnoses put together are the major reasons why I don't currently work. For both working and dating, it's a pretty severe handicap, and one I'm constantly working to try and overcome. It's difficult for people to understand this, but I literally do not know how to sell myself to other people, or how to get their attention or stand out. I try and it never seems to go how I expected, and it's very difficult for people to understand what I'm trying to communicate on the first try. Hopefully you're patient enough to give me enough chances to express myself properly.

I'm not necessarily averse to social situations - and in most cases you probably wouldn't be able to pick up on the nervousness boiling beneath my surface. It's just I'm so uncomfortable most of the time I'll choose solitude over the alternatives unless I'm with someone who makes me feel safe. Invite me somewhere and I'd be happy to go! Otherwise I'll probably just stay indoors.

You should message me if you've gotten this far! Again - if you're the sort of person who is patient, empathic, kind, and gentle enough to not write me off, you'll find someone equally as wonderful if you message me.

That said, I like ladies who know how to take initiative. My ideal partner is someone who knows what she wants and lets me know what it is. Sometimes I just don't get it - and a nice clue bat every once in a while really helps things stay smooth when I'm with another person.

I am open to long-distance relationships. Considering everything I've written above, having a relationship start that way might be ideal - although I'd always have the goal of meeting in person. And I won't shy away from you if you're already nearby.

If you're on IRC, I'm usually on espernet with the handle "Seiun". For AIM and Skype, I'm Reinseiun. I respond to pretty much any message I get on okcupid, but am more comfortable with real-time conversation.
