Hey y'all! I'm a true blue dyed-in-the-wool Austinite (well, this is Texas, it's not REALLY wool... something much lighter!). I've been in Austin for about a decade, actually, and after having managed to live in 9 states by the time I was 16, I truly consider this my hometown. I'm a weird kinda dork... I can go down to 6th street for music, or to dance, and not make a total fool out of myself, but I'm just as at home sitting at a table with other guys making Monty Python references (This parrot has shuffled off it's mortal coil and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!) and playing the game-of-the-moment. I could easily be called a geek, poet, writer, gamer, voracious reader, good friend, and a big-hearted sucker. *laugh* I'm stopping the writing now, I promise!

Looking for yet another job, and talking to ACC to see about going back to school after 7+ years beating my head against the brick wall called "No Degree".

Being a gamer geek, of course. And writing, although you couldn't prove it by using this profile as evidence! Knowing random bits of tossaway trivia. Being a designated driver for any and all of my insane drinking friends.

Glasses. Definately the glasses. Or the hair.

Air Conditioning, good friends, a computer with an internet connection, a copy of "1632", food, water

At Battleforge Games, either playing D&D, Exalted, chatting with friends, or getting in a game of 40K - or whatever the Game of the Moment is. Currently, it's Jovian Chronicles. :>

... is this safe?... I'm crazy shy. Even around my friends, I'm rather shy. :P

You feel like talking to a nice, non-crazy, non-stalkerish guy who's a lil' off kilter. :)
