Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Basically I'm on OKC to try and open up more and meet new people to chat and share interests with, and maybe meet up with if it feels like we get along. I'm more or less independently wealthy, though I would like to go back to college in the near future once I've worked up a bit more gumption and rekindled some creative spark. My real passion has always been games / technology, and I'd love to get into the industry someday. I think self appraisal is probably the least accurate kind, but if I had to, I'd describe myself as sardonic, wry, imaginative, and random; but also sensitive, attentive, and patient. I guess this whole summary sounds kind of sober, and feels a bit useless, but I'm actually pretty goofy and eccentric with people, as I think the rest of my profile probably shows.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Once I finish school, I hope to be able to break into the game industry and maybe one day get to share my crazy ideas with the rest of the world.

I also have a bit of wanderlust, and hope to one day see the great cities of the world (Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, etc). I've always lived near big cities so I have a particular fascination with them.

I also want to bring mustaches back into fashion without actually having to grow one myself. My mustached utopia is a world we can all believe in.

My final goal in life to become the first person to die from being pinched by a poisonous lobster. Let my noble sacrifice serve as a warning to all mankind...they're out there.

I hope to then be reincarnated as a robot lounge singer.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Blowing money on shiny gadgets, listening, trivia games, attracting members of my own gender, thinking critically, NHL 94, fixing computers, snuggling with puppies and kitties, forgetting to shave, air hockey, self effacement.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

A black guy hitting on me once told me he loved my "big nigger lips".

People also tend to comment on my room whenever they visit my apartment, first for its stark cleanliness (which really stands out because my roommates are slobs) and second for the weird gadgets that adorn it, like my Super Scope 6, or my luminescent Blade Runner umbrella.

I also have a splotch of white hair on the top of my head that people often make note of. To answer any potential questions regarding it, yes it's a birthmark, no I didn't screw up dying my hair, no I wasn't struck by lightning.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I don't want this section to become a sprawling mess of trivialities, so I'll try to keep it to a handful of entries for each category. Hopefully that'll give folks a good enough idea of what my taste in things is like. I'm sure I'll get carried away, but it never hurts to have more fodder for small talk to break the ice.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

1. My lifestyle basically demands a computer with internet access, without which I'd have a lot less stuff to steal.

2. I like to have a puppy or kitty around to talk goofily to and cudduwz wif.

3. Various grooming products. I can be insecure at times, so I tend to spend a lot of time primping before I go anywhere.

4. Going for runs / working out while listening to my mp3 player. I've found exercise (especially accompanied by music) has helped me tremendously to shed anxiety.

5. People who I trust enough to let my guard down with. I have a hard time finding connections with people so I really value them when I find them.

6. Hope. Despite some of the tough things I've been through, I've never lost sight of the person I want to be. There's that beautiful element to all tragedy that forces us to respond and define ourselves.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

over analyzing things, Alaskan wildlife preserve oil drilling, hot dog ingredients, daydreaming, Peter Weller, are android slaves morally acceptable, omg a puppy, investment opportunities, the most effective way to repel a horde of poisonous lobsters, noir cyberpunk fiction, the latest mustache fashions, nerfing warlocks, accepting myself.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

engaging in some antisocial activity on my computer, or maybe talking to the cats (they say some crazy shit send help). Though a couple Fridays out of the month I'm out with my friends at some bar or club, perhaps having a few too many and reenacting my favorite Ultimate Warrior monologues, or playing a highly drunk ultra competitive game of Risk.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I once had a dream that Paul Hogan (aka Crocodile Dundee) got all drugged up and killed his family before being shot down my the police in an epic shootout in the Australian Outback. For some reason though, my brain filed it under "reality" and I went around for years thinking it was true. Every time I saw one of the those Subaru Outback commercials I found it terribly disrespectful.

Also, a llama threw up on me once. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but I feel very uncomfortable around them now, almost as if it were some collective judgment against me on behalf of all llama-kind.
