Hi, I'm John. I'm currently a student at the University of Central Florida, studying technical communication. I spend my spare time hanging out, listening to crappy music, playing some games, and waiting for opportunity to strike with regard to dating. Romantic, I know.

More about me... well, I'm pretty quiet until you get to know me, but once I feel comfortable I can unleash a stream of consciousness. I'm thoughtful, but not indecisive. I'm not too worried about my future - whatever happens, I'm confident that I'll be able to deal with it somehow or other.

Attending college, primarily. I don't have foresight enough to claim to know what I'll be doing a couple years from now, especially given how much trouble new grads are having finding jobs.

I'd like to think I'm a good writer, but you may disagree. ;) Partially as a consequence of that, I'm pretty snarky and sarcastic. Of course, sometimes I end up making bad jokes that only I understand, but what can you do? No, not making them is not an option.

I also dabble in video games and am a huge computer and science geek. There's just so much cool stuff out there that I have no idea where to begin describing it all. Of course, this doesn't mean I play WoW 24/7. I have self-control, I promise. :P

This is a rather hard one for me to answer, since I'm pretty quiet, but I think it's how laid-back I am. I've gotten comments from people marveling - ok, they weren't marveling, but bear with me here - at how calm and composed I am. Some see this and think it's apathy, but it's really just perspective and, uh, massive procrastination.

I used to be not-very-picky in terms of books, but that's been changing. I used to be into sci-fi and fantasy, but after reading enough of those genres the common stereotypes and cliches got completely ridiculous, and I can only stand a few of those now. Partly as a result of reading too much of the aforementioned genres, I'm only just starting to branch out, which will make this list pretty generic. But whatever.

So yeah, there's The Great Gatsby, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Dune, A Clockwork Orange, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Killer Angels, Ender's Game, pretty much anything written by Shakespeare, and this awesome little book called I, Houdini.

As for music, as far as I can tell, the rule I most follow is that I like the songs with the best riffs. Silly, I know. Some good artists are Malmsteen, Meguro, Namiki, Nightwish, and Sonata Arctica. That's not anywhere close to an exhaustive list, of course; just things I quickly noticed in my playlist. I don't much like rap/hip hop, though, if that matters to you.

Ain't no such things, unless you plan on being facepalmingly-obvious and listing air, food, friends, and other stuff like that.

I can't say I'd want to live in a world without a net connection or a collection of good books, though!

Stuff I'll never find the answers to, assuming there are answers to begin with. You know, the meaning of life, everyday questions like that.

Honestly, I could spend a bit more time doing stuff instead of thinking about it. Of course, I spent a lot of time thinking before I arrived at that conclusion...

Sometimes I'm out with friends, and sometimes I'm doing something solitary, like reading a book or playing some games. It really depends on the day and my mood at the time. I don't hit the clubs or go to parties, though, because I hate being around too many people at once. That does limit my options just a bit.

I can't whistle. At all. :(

You're tired of dating (total) assholes, you want someone with an actual personality, and/or you think I'm hot. :P

Nah, seriously, decide for yourself. I don't mind assertive types, though, if that means anything to you.
