I've lived in Atlanta my whole life, but don't see myself as being "southern." I am usually verbose (often too much so) and I am a huge fan of holding, hugging, and cuddling. I love laughing and being silly, while being able to reel it in and get to work when I need to (getting better at this). I'm a dork, jock, nerd, romantic, and do-gooder. I watch the science, history, discovery, and news channels just to see what there is to see, while I also love watching baseball and comedy central (Daily Show and Colbert Report ftw). I love animals and will never live without any around me if I can help it. I work out, play baseball, am starting on some yoga/tai chi classes, and love going for walks, whether it's raining, snowing, or whatever. Again I am also big on hugs and sinking into them. I love long, meandering (see: ADD driven) conversations that last for hours and cover fifty topics, or maybe just three. Long as they're engaging who cares?
I play computer and video games, and if you do too then good times, though I've stopped for the most part recently. They're vicious little time sinks aren't they? I'm a big fan of music, art, laying back and relaxing, sleep, and taking things in stride.

Working on finishing school and making it to greener pastures, I suppose. I've let myself get too sidetracked for a while now and need to get myself and my life in general together, so here's hoping that I can do it already. While doing that I want to make new friends, really get a feel for life, and see what happens along the way.

Learning languages (and especially the accents for some reason), reasoning, putting off doing things I don't want to do, finding humor in almost anything, and being there for people when they need it. I'm also damn good at being honest and open. Recently I've discovered that I am almost absurdly open about myself, which I kind of like, but can see how it might lead to some entertaining and awkward situations for me.

I'm not really sure. I'd guess it's probably that I have long hair, since most guys really don't in the south. I get my share of funny looks for it. Other than that you'd have to tell me. I never really ask about it.

For books. . . I'm a huge dork. I like Harry Potter, most of the Star Wars books, loved Starship Troopers, Nietzsche, and even read a couple of the Halo books. >.> Other than that in the last couple years I haven't read a ton, but am almost through the Song of Ice and Fire series. Being bugged about starting on Disc World after.

Movies are always a long story. The Fifth Element, LotR, Harry Potter(not as good as the books and I have my gripes, but whatever), Kill Bill, Sleepless in Seattle (yeah I know, but I like Tom Hanks in general), Big Trouble, Kung Fu Panda, Donnie Darko, What Dreams May Come...Won't go on forever about it, but I like watching movies of all kinds.

Might as well list some TV things since people tend to be curious about that as well. Family Guy, Futurama, Dexter, the Boondocks, most of what pops up on the Discovery Channel, Firefly, the Daily Show/Colbert Report combo, and I've been watching alot of MSNBC lately as well. The Travel Channel, Food Network, National Geographic, and Science Channel, are all good go-to time consumers as well. Would it be too bad a thing if I admitted I like Inuyasha on top of all that? Oh well, it is what it is.

Music is more complicated I think. I love really hard metal and acoustic alike. In the last couple years I've also found that I like select techno, trance, and other electronic stuff. Classical music is always nice to hear for some real emotion of a different brand as well, but hey, it's all perspective really. I like keeping an open mind about music and just finding things that move me. If you want a little list. . . Metallica, Killswitch Engage, Mudvayne, Royksopp, Infected Mushroom, Tycho(Iso50), In Flames, Sevendust, Pendulum, Ronald Jenkees, and various video game/movie soundtracks. Just a few names, but I'm not going to list every group I like.

Far as food goes, I have always been a vegetarian and it's lead to me being pretty healthy, but also sortof left out of alot of things (got old being the only vegetarian on road trips for baseball when we'd always stop at steakhouses or fast food). I am starting to branch out and trying alot of new things, seeing what I might like here or there, but don't know if I'd make it something for me to really do more than when going out. I try to keep an open mind about it and just try whatever the moment may offer for the most part.

My cats and grumpy old dog - should be self explanatory
Chapstick (though I'm getting over it I hope)
My computer. . . mmmmm interwebs
Humor - What fun is mini golf if you don't shank it off the waterfall and the tiki statue?
Good conversation - whatever the topic is, just being able to learn and converse is friggin therapeutic
Affection - Family/friends are underrated too often, I find. So are meaningful relationships. Go hug someone.

This is, of course, trying to disregard listing things like . . . air/water/free will. I'm sort of looking at them as obvious answers.

Where my life will lead. Who I am learning that I am, what I want out of life, and what I can do to get from here to there. I want to be truly happy with someone and with myself, and finding that seems to be so much harder than we'd all like.

Relaxing at home, probably working on a paper while watching TV. If not that, then out with family/friends to long dinners or something. I don't stress about making friday a huge event, but if it becomes one, then so be it.

I am far more emotional and sensitive than I try to let on in public. I'm a big softy for cats and such. I'm also really shy. I don't necessarily look it, and I've been getting better about it, but it is what it is.
I'll also admit that after looking at some other profiles. . . I feel like I'm pretty unoriginal and bad at writing these things. :( I keep wanting to copy other people's stuff that sounds better than what I've put, but have thus far managed to avoid it.

If you're looking for a cocky jerk, you are in the wrong place, to be blunt.
I am not an adonis. I am not arrogant, rich, shallow, unintelligent, or easily manipulated. I'm really just a nice (though everyone's opinion will vary), relaxed guy looking to meet people and see if anything happens.
So long as you've read what's above and understand the little of me that I've managed to convey, then by all means, say hi or something. Don't be shy.
