I am human, off-centered, and funny.

My Self-Summary

Well, so I'll put at least a little bit about myself here...

I did just move back down to the DFW area from Northern VA going on about a year ago now and I couldn't be happier to be here. I love the state, I love the people, and have great friends and family down here.

If you love to read as much as I do or get as excited about good books/stories as I do then we are already doing great. It's a passionate hobby of mine and something I do hope to be able to share with someone one day. I'm a bit of a fantasy/sci-fi geek but I think I break the stereotype on it at least a little bit.

Right now I'm just trying to stay on my feet and be adequate.

So if you think I might sound interesting let me know and we can go from there I guess.

What I’m doing with my life

Right now I've got a pretty good gig working Admissions for a medical trade school.

Other then that I did finish a little more than two years of college and though I don't really want to go back, I found a good social work program at UT-A... so if I could finish that and get my LCDC it might be nice.

Besides those things I'm just hanging out, reading, living by myself and enjoying life.

I’m really good at

Well.. normally at being myself once I warm up to someone.

I (sometimes) really like me for the most part and I feel that comes out in my personality.

Other than that I'm pretty great at listening... though the advice I offer might not always be what someone wants to hear. Besides that I'm pretty easy-going about most things and feel that problems will normally work themselves out and getting worked up over something normally does no good.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm not too sure... I'm kind of odd. I know that's a blanket, generalized statement but you'd have to know me/meet me I suppose.

People do generally love me though and I get along with just about everyone.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: 'Lamb or The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal', The Book of the New Sun, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, The House of Spirits, Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle, Anna Karenina, Junky, Perdido Street Station, Neuromancer, Foucault's Pendulum, Reading Lolita in Tehran, The World According to Garp, Snowcrash, Imajica

Current Books: Dawkins!, Gloriana: the Unfulfilled Queen and Secular Humanist stuff by Paul Kurtz

Movies: Serenity, Run Ronnie Run, Sin City, Cannibal: The Musical, 28 Days Later, Orgazmo, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Say Anything, Battle Royale, Happiness of the Katakuris, Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy, Fear of a Black Hat, Willow

Shows: Firefly, Star Trek: TNG, Rocko's Modern Life, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, King of the Hill, Duckman, Pirates of Dark Water

Music: The Mountain Goats, Aesop Rock, Kayo Dot, Kool Keith, Man Man

Food: ALL, with a heavily leaving towards anything spicy.

The six things I could never do without

1. Books
2. Certain albums... and the means to listen to them.
3. As much as I sometimes wish to be a hermit, other people.
4. A firm grasp that I'm not always in control.
5. Some form of escapism.
6. A cardigan.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Right now... Star Trek: The Next Generation. Don't laugh. I cannot help myself at the moment.

On a typical Friday night I am

Either staying in with friends or going out with friends... that could be pretty much anywhere too.

I don't really get wild anymore but I do enjoy getting out and doing stuff. Doesn't have to be a Friday night, Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons are great too.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Nothing that I can think of off the type of my head that would be appropriate to post here.

You should message me if

You are also confused by this whole internet courtship thing... and feel like saying hello.

You aren't just looking for a hook-up or casual sex. (I'm just not interested. Phased out of that long ago. Makes me nervous. Too old.)

You dig nerdy dudes who like fantasy and sci-fi a bit too much.

You are familiar with MUDs and the mention of them doesn't send you running and screaming.
