Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Tall dark and scary. Also terminally sarcastic, fond of long intellectually masturbatory arguments, a recovering goth and a romantic in denial.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I'm a computer security consultant, so basically I get paid to lose my faith in humanity. At the moment I'm hiding and recuperating after a month of epically bad luck. I'm doing a lot of reading while draped in cats and reflecting that human interaction is for suckers. When not in recluse mode I try to seek out more adventure than is strictly good for me.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Accruing hordes of inexplicable and highly specialized little talents; also squandering my creative potential for material gain.

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

I have no idea, feel free to let me know.

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

Meat, especially bloody and/or raw. I love sushi, steak, more general seafood... anything that suffered to arrive at my plate. For maximum points, something still living when it hits the table.

I'm an avid reader, currently in the midst of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, a rather cheesy fantasy set that was recommended by a friend who insists it will improve. Favorites in fiction are the usual crop of cyberpunk standbys, Gibson especially. I love an author who understands you don't need to look to the future for a brilliant dystopian story.

Music is difficult for me, I've got relatively narrow taste running high to crappy electro-industrial dance. Not Icon of Coil bad, but certainly Covenant ("Happy Man" is my current theme song), old VNV, Seabound, new NIN and Skinny Puppy, etc. In my quest to hear things I haven't heard a mind-boggling number of times before I've been known to branch out as far as The Killers or The Knife; gothier favorites like Dresden Dolls creep in on the periphery too.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Computers, meat, sex, cats and love. I know that's not 6, but what can I say? I'm a minimalist.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Life, the universe, and everything. A shorter list would be the things I *don't* spend a lot of time thinking about (celebrities, whether I look fat, television).

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

It varies; sometimes on a plane, other times in a bar/club with friends, preferably one then the other. My favorite place to be on a Friday night is anywhere I couldn't predict I'd end up.

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

I'm willing to admit anything, consequently nothing springs to mind as "private".

You should message me if Propose an edit

1. If your interest is platonic:
You know what you want out of life and you're good at making it happen.
You love to debate but you care more about learning than winning.
Drop me a line if you're both of the above and you'd like to be clever at one another over coffee sometime.

2. If your interest is romantic, ideally, I would like you to be this person:
First and foremost, you want something serious and are open to the possibilities of both marriage and children in the 5-10 year range. You also need to have wanderlust in general and be interested in moving to NYC in particular - that's where I'm on to next and it would be a shame to start something good that isn't portable. You also need to be bisexual, though I'd consider making an exception for a gay female. I prefer polyamory but I'd consider monogamy if by some vanishingly small chance your sex drive can keep up with mine.

On the less important things I'm a shameless narcissist. The more you resemble me aesthetically (tall, pale, blue-eyed and dark-haired) the more likely it is that I'll find you attractive. Similarly, on personality I melt over people who are strong-willed, adventurous and geeky. Other turnons are curiosity/joy in the small things and moral ambiguity (neutral nuetral, anyone?).

If you've read this far and you aren't scared off yet you should definitely contact me.

3. Due to recent roster hits I will now also consider something casual, for which you could be anything from the attributes in 1 on up. Expect, of course, that you'll need to be superficially attractive in inverse proportion to your resemblance to the description in 2.
