My self-summary
Shakespeare said that brevity is the soul of wit, so I'll try to keep this short.

I am socially liberal, economically center-left and philosophically skeptical. I like to think I'm a Humanist if anything.

One might comfortably label me a geek or nerd, or both. Dork occasionally applies too.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm passionate about the performing arts and study full time at drama school, learning the craft of acting for stage and screen.

Storytelling fascinates me and I devour both novels and films constantly. I write my own scripts for plays and short films and I enjoy toying with metre and rhyme through poetry as well. Language is fun.

Fiction aside, I also like to read a lot of factoid compendiums and books about science that have been translated for the layman.

Other hobbies include video games, rifling through op shops, playing poker and taking classes in partner dancing (mostly Swing, but also Blues)
I’m really good at
Accents. I think I have an ear for them.
The first things people usually notice about me
How freakin' tall I am.

Either my vintage hats or vintage coats, weather depending.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
This bit is perhaps not so short.

Books
Kurt Vonnegut, Neil Gaiman, Stephen Fry, Hunter S Thompson, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Charles Dickens and Isaac Asimov.

Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Anton Checkov, Martin McDonagh, Noël Coward, Caryl Churchill, Arthur Miller, Tom Stoppard, Tennessee Williams, W.B Yeats, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Percy Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe, W.H Auden, Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost.

Film (by director, because I'm a snob)
Wes Anderson, Andrew Niccol, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, The Coen Brothers, John Carpenter, Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, Terry Gilliam, Miyazaki, Curtis Hanson, Tarantino, Richard Linklater and Spike Jonze.

I also like cheesy action movies, most sci-fi and so-bad-it's-good films that tend to involve Leslie Nielsen.

TV
Black Books, BBC Sherlock, Daria, Futurama, South Park, QI, Archer, A Game of Thrones, Misfits, Star Trek, Yes Minister, How I Met Your Mother, Buffy, Firefly, 30 Rock.

Music
Jazz, Blues, Classic rock and Orchestral pieces. I tend to collect a lot of film scores and just lately I'm getting into trip hop and acid-jazz-electronica-something-or-other. Too many subgenres.
On a typical Friday night I am
Working, unfortunately.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I make the most god-awful puns and dad jokes. I'm trying to give up the habit, but it's a struggle. Just taking it one day at a time, you know?

I have embraced the Kindle in favour of the paper-back as my primary reading platform. Books are all well and good, but it is the words themselves that are most important. Feel free to debate this with me, as I have done with many others. :P

Once, when I was an early teen, I tried combining a hot dog in a roll with vanilla ice-cream to see if it would be yummy. I never tried it again.
