I am smart, creative, and funny.

My Self-Summary

I'm a young man living in the Portland Metro area. I'm basically a nerd who came on for amusing tests that can apparently tell me all sorts of thing about myself. Before coming here I had no idea where I would have fit in during the National Socialists rise to power in Germany. I wouldn't know the functional level of my visual gaydar. It's quite astonishing what the internet can do nowadays.

I like gaming (video, role playing, card, board, and whatever else exist.) I like books and movies. I go to PCC. I like to write and hope to someday make a career of it. It's unrealistic, but the rest of my life so far has been fairly unrealistic. This gives me some hope.

Unrealisticness in general gives me a great deal of hope.

What I’m doing with my life

Going to community college. Working at fiction.

I’m really good at

Writing in general.

B) Anything directed by Wes Anderson, or Paul Thomas Anderson, silent horror and comedy, Bride of Frankenstein, The Howling (My favorite werewolf movie), Martin (my favorite vampire movie), lots more...

D) I like soups a lot, and fresh fruits and veggies. Quite fond of sushi. Fish and Chips with good malt vinegar. Still warm baguettes. Frozen Yogurt. A nice ribeye steak every now and then.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Character and plot development.
