I just published my second Book on chess. My first book was well-received.

I'm trying to Reform Christianity.

I was the lead role in a prominent 1990's drama about the perils of eating undercooked chicken. I invested my fortune in Jolly Ranchers just before the world-wide Jolly Rancher market went south. So now I am picking up the pieces of my life here in Charlottesville. I run underground tic-tac-toe tournaments for cash at night, but I teach at a school during the day to support my crack cocaine habit.

I like to do challenging things, like slam-dancing to Kenny Roger's songs, figuring out Dylan's lyrics, or tying knots in cherry stems using only my MIND.

I think The Big Lebowski is pretty much the funniest movie of all time. Also, I love dorks/nerds/whatever you want to call them. That doesn't mean I won't like you if you are more ...uhm... normal...but people who have above room-temperature IQs [even during summer in Arizona] are my cup of chai.

You can't really write about yourself...you can only write about the self you think you are or hope to be. I think I am extemely honest, compassionate, and a damn good back rubber, but your mileage may vary.

I am INTJ, excessively heavy on the N. I make goofy anagrams in real time. I can drink my weight in chai. I am a mathematician, science editor, teacher and amateur theologian who writes fiction. Jesus Christ rocks my socks.

If you can beat me in pool, I'll buy you dinner. If you can beat me in scrabble, I'll make you dinner.

My self summary would not be complete without saying that, the above levity notwithstanding, I am quite serious about God. I am an amateur theologian who thinks the modern-day mainstream Christian church has in general misunderstood and miscontrued the point of Christ's coming. I am hoping to cause Christians to develop a deeper understanding of Christ's work. I have a "Religious Compatibility Test" should anyone be interested.

I am hoping to find an intelligent, self-confident, honest, spiritual woman who has grown out of the "The world revolves around me" phase that most people stay in all their lives.

Mixing it with 3 parts Oregon Chai and one part uncooked laughter.

I work as an international hitman, but when there is a lull I work as a writer/editor.

I am working on a few independent writing projects. My prime motivation is to help people, mostly through teaching, so that factors into most of my writing interests. I write fiction, theology, and chess.

I have posted the first few chapters of my fiction at my myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/fwqhgads

Settlers of Catan

and...

Taking the blame when I screw something up, making people laugh, solving puzzles, knitting pot-holders from laundry lint, beating invisible trees into submission, playing volleyball, impromptu doggerrel , slam pong, receiving the lauds and praises of my many trained chimpmunk worshippers, finding grammar errors, wrestling, boiling water, being humorous and real at the same time, inapproriate humor, living without a facade or safety net, playful sarcasm, being honest even when it hurts, tying knots in cherry stems with my tongue, mentally approximating square roots of numbers, puns, appropriate anagrams, inappropriate anagrams.

Oh, and I may very well be the World's foremost authority on the Colle-Zukertort...of course since practically no one reading this is likely to know what the Colle-Zukertort is, that is of limited importance.

That I am tall and generally talk only when I have something to say. I don't like chit-chat. In those social situations normally requiring small talk, I normally instead turn into funny guy mode instead.

a) The Bible, A Song of Fire and Ice, The Fionvar Tapestry, Shogun, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Cell, Gels, and the Engine of Life (A great book for all biology people)

b) The Big Lebowski, Fight Club, Memento, Office Space, 12 Monkeys, Zoolander, Boondock Saints, Breakfast Club, Galaxy Quest, Groundhog Day, Hudsucker Proxy, Being John Malkovich, American Beauty, Requiem for a Dream, Spirited Away,Lost Highway, Videodrome, Naked Lunch, L.A. Confidential, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, pretty much smart comedy or smart drama...

c) Leonard Cohen, Alanis, Rich Mullins, Roger Waters

d) Mexican, Italian, Stromboli

The only TV shows I find worth watching are Family Guy, Dead Like Me and Law and Order...but then again the only reason I own a TV is that an erstwhile flat-mate left his behind.

I am also a fan of Strong Bad emails.

Christ's Teachings (Though I am not a fan of what humanity and the church in particular has done in the 2000 years hence), Friends, Good Mexican Food, My computer, Music...and a player to be named later.

I wonder what God's will is for me...and for we.

I wonder where my socks escape to...I think they evaporate randomly.

How can there be 2.1 billion people who claim to be Christians in this world and still 800 million people without enough to eat?

How can someone claim to be "Atheist and very serious about it" and, at the same time, claim to be "open-minded"?

How can someone be "Agnostic, and laughing about it." Or...any religion/theology and "laughing about it." To me that's like saying "In need of a liver transplant, and laughing about it."

"The fool says in his own heart: there is no God."

Rigging the enemy base with explosives.

I am also often found chaiing at the Tea House. Yes, chaiing is a verb.

Darth Vader is Luke's father. [Eek...I have finally let the cat out of the bag.]

Oh, and I found the 70 percent of Basketball that wasn't utterly disgusting rather funny.

You like a mixture of sincerity and humor, sarcasm and honesty.

You are one of those people who say they look for personality and really mean it.

If you are particularly interested in God, I would particularly appreciate hearing from you.

DO NOT message me if you are generally dishonest...it is the one quality I truly despise.
