I'm more or less a geek.

Glasses, likes using computers, reads a lot, smart, and so on and so forth. Many if not most of the stereotypes in your head right now apply.

But! I promise I'm one of the good geeks, who have some social skills and don't flinch at exposure to natural sunlight.

Random bits:
I enjoy living in Halifax. I think it's a great city, and I don't know how easy it will be to adapt to living someplace else if (when) I have to move. I lack the traveler's spirit, I suppose.

Late Spring / early Summer is my favorite time of year. Warm enough to do pretty much anything you like outside, but not sweltering hot. Of course, it's cloudy 75% of the time, which is a shame.

I'm a serious night-owl. Get up at noon, bed at 4 AM, it's a good day. This causes me problems, sometimes, when bed happens at 4 AM but - surprise! - get up has to happen at 9:00.

I can solve a Rubik's cube without taking it apart. Not as tricky as it sounds, actually.

Magnets are awesome.

Musical & Artistic Talent: 1/5. I can appreciate it, but I haven't put in enough practice to be good at music or art.

If you're not saying what you want to say, what's that say? Life is already too short and too complicated to make things worse for yourself by not communicating your thoughts and feelings when it really matters to you.

I'm currently working at a nice small business in Halifax. Paying off student debt. Woo.
More recently: Joined the gym, because sitting in a chair 14 hours a day just doesn't cut it.

...Maybe it's just my self-deprecation circuit kicking in, but I don't think I'm "really good" at anything. Passable? Sure. Good? Maybe. *Really* good? Nah.

That person talks kinda loud!
It comes from having a teacher as a parent who didn't drop out of "talking over an entire class" mode until Saturday evening.

Books: The Song of Ice and Fire series, books by Terry Pratchett], books by Vernor Vinge, the Golden Compass, books by Guy Gavriel Kay... That is to say, fiction.

Movies: Microcosmos, The Shawshank Redemption, The Incredibles, Batman Begins, Pirates of the Caribbean... Mostly mainstream-ish Hollywood flicks.

Music: Giorgio Moroder's "Chase" is probably the center of my musical tastes, but it ranges pretty far afield. I like songs rather than bands.
Hghpoints include America - Horse with no name, The Beatles - Come Together, Daft Punk - Da Funk, Spankox - To the Club, Zamfir - The Lonely Shepherd, Dschinghis Khan - Moskau, The Vengaboys - We Like To Party, Booker T & the M.G.'s - Green Onions... Things with a decent rhythm or flow, lyrics you can make out (if any), and positive emotional payload.

Food: Nothing beats a top-quality steak.

Air, food, water, shelter, rest, and something to do.

Where the world is headed. Humanity seems so precariously balanced between crippling or destroying itself and achieving things beyond all imagination. We'll probably do all right. Probably.

Also, Crossword puzzles. What's a 5-letter word for "winding"?

At home, chillaxin'.

This one time, I went to ██████ and █████ed a █████ and a █████ █████. It only cost five dollars!

You're interested in talking to me, whether for it's own sake, to find out more, or to arrange something.
