Just a random note: When I say something like "sayin," I wonder if I should tack on a [sic]. Anyone have an opinion on this? If so, please let me know.

I put myself through such thought processes often, but when not being somewhat neurotic, I'm normal? I guess the best summary of myself will come in the following sections.

Okay here goes: ENTP

To be facetious, I'm doing exactly what I'm doing. Realistically, I'm scrambling to translate the last 21 years of work and education into something that society will buy as "productive." Through a less cynical lens, this means that I'm either teaching people how to write (i.e. to think, and in the process learning how to think in new ways myself) or using my English skills (being the ever so original English and philosophy major) to help people deal with their computer problems.

Being active. I run, I lift, I hike, bike, swim. I want to participate in an Ironman. On the opposite side of life, I'm good at reading, not so much at writing...So seriously, if anyone is good with grammar or knows a thing or two about style, I'd greatly appreciate a lesson or two.

I'm quiet at first, but after 10 minutes I'm usually pretty open and outgoing, just need to know the person first.

Books: Walden, The Secret Agent/Nostromo/Lord Jim/Heart of Darkness (i.e. anything by Joseph Conrad, the Magicians. In all honesty, unless it's a political or military novel I'll probably like it).

Tv is my guilty pleasure: Archer, It's Always Sunny, Lost, True Blood, Castle, FIREFLY, Boston Legal, Rome, House, Supernatural, Board Walk empire, Weeds, Southpark, etc...

My nerdy hobbies, ask if you want to know what they are.

Beer is always a good start. It's Madison so there is always some sort of local bar that has amazing beer. Other than that I like to go dancing or stay in, share a drink with friends, and talk about whatever is on our minds.

My tattoo is the most personal thing I have. If you want to know about it, just ask.

Well, one sure way to get a response out of me is to make a ridiculous claim and challenge me to argue about it!
