I am sardonic, laid-back, and logical.

My Self-Summary

I am a self-described geek (since this is a self-summary everything here is self-described?) who derives as much amusement from as many small things as I can.

I dislike feeling like I should be egotistical when describing myself. What is the suitable level of modesty here? I guess I'm smart (people tell me I am), easy-going and logical. My humour is often self-deprecating sarcasm, but sometimes not. I grew up in the country, so I have those famed country manners ya'll hear about so much (or maybe not).

I love my motorbike. There are some days where riding it makes me unbelievably happy, it's like an isolation from the rest of the world in a way that a car never was.

What I’m doing with my life

I work for a media company.

Right now I'm living for holidays. I just returned from a snowboarding adventure in New Zealand. Already planning the next one.

I’m really good at

Computers, fixing things, electronic stuff.

I'm really bad at not coming across like a complete bore when describing myself. The questions seem so general and open ended; I don't know where to start.

I'm fairly good at debating, although maybe I shouldn't be proud of that. I'm one of those annoying people who seems to be able to do everything reasonably well, but the downside is I'm not amazing at anything.

The first things people usually notice about me

That I seem strangely up-to-date with current events. I seem to take and interest in almost everything and I'm generally "smart".

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books:
Robin Hobb, Harry Potter, Simon Singh
Really I'll read anything though. Classics, fiction, non-fiction, kids books. When I was younger I used to have to read myself to sleep so it's something very comforting.

Movies/TV:
House, BSG, The Princess Bride

Music:
Finch, Alexisonfire, Nine Inch Nails - at the moment.

Food:
Curry, Pasta, Steak. I was really fussy as a little kid, but I'm getting better at food as I grow older. Still can't stand Mushrooms but most other things are okay.

The six things I could never do without

Computer, Internet, iPhone, Friends, The prospect of adventure.

All of the above are negotiable and I can probably do without them all if there were something else.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Where the loose change comes from. How is it possible I end up with this much loose change?!

Okay so I spend far more time thinking about what I should be doing with myself, and then not acting on that because it sounds so far-fetched. I guess this means I'm a dreamer?

On a typical Friday night I am

At home being geeky, or out with friends. Generally the former, sometimes the latter. Gym is taking up more and more of my time lately. Monday, Wednesday, Friday is a nice routine.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I play computer games! Is this such a private thing nowadays? Oh I like Pride and Prejudice....

You should message me if

You're a like-minded soul who is easy going and fun to be around.
You live in Sydney and don't mind a smart(arse) geeky guy.
