I picked 'busyGeek' as a handle because I think it says a lot about
me. Yes, I'm geeky... so okcupid's a good site for me then!
I work in
new
media, I'm a bit of a techie... oh, okay! You forced it out of
me. You could also say I work in
marketing. Not the old fashioned style
of marketing but the new way of doing things with
Google,
Yahoo,
affiliate deals, homepage take overs
and that sort of thing.
I'm certainly a
geek.
I like to watch
anime,
sci-fi and
fantasy films. I'm not so good with hardware
(printers are my enemy) but I trained as a programmer and could
probably still pull something together in
PHP. That said; give me a
computer language book, enough
time and I could probably write the program you need.
I'm not busy with IT stuff, though. I'm busier on the marketing
side of my life; meeting clients, putting together strategies and
flying down to London an awful lot for conference speeches and
other mini-dramas.
It's perhaps crazy to come here and say that I'm super busy and a
bit of a geek - but
honesty is important to me. I'm happy
with my working life and don't want to change!
I like to get out once and a while. Since I pay for an expensive
gym I sometimes (a few times a month) drag myself out to visit it -
my
wii fit tells me I
should go more often. I've found dancing around to Guitar Hero on
my
xbox 360 is a
fairly good workout too!
I like to visit friends - and even spend a weekend away once a
month to engage in some marathon
roleplaying sessions!
I think I may go mad if I had to spend two weeks on a beach! Sun is
nice. A great holiday would certainly involve some pool/beach time
but also a chance to soak up some local
history and
culture.
Happy to chat about me more in more details in messages! lol (how
arrogant does that sound?)
I'm building my life right now. Today and tomorrow I'll be working
hard and doing something that I enjoy greatly - I get paid to do a
hobby!
I'm working hard now so I can be (remain) happy. I don't need a lot
of money to be happy but I need some. I would like to be able to
buy what I want - which isn't too luxurious - without having to
worry. I'd like to be able to be generous to my friends too.
I'd love to find a partner to work with and build a better life
with.
My hat? That only works if I'm wearing it.
I imagine you really need to ask someone else this questions. I
suspect a lot depends on my mood. I'll probably appear to be a bit
eccentric but I could equally appear to be a chatterbox or a bit
quiet.
Music. A copy'n'paste of my top 25 from Last.fm makes this
list:
Kamelot,
Led Zeppelin,
Celtic Woman,
Cirque du
Soleil,
Blackmore's Night,
Foo Fighters,
Genesis,
"Weird Al"
Yankovic,
Aerosmith,
Faith No More,
Talking Heads,
Gorillaz,
Soundgarden,
Levellers,
Crash Test Dummies,
Kaiser Chiefs,
Guns N'
Roses,
Billy
Joel,
Alice
Cooper,
Tyler
Bates,
Feeder,
Violent
Femmes,
Dead Can Dance,
Megadeth and
Metallica.
Movies. A quick raid on my Facebook profile suggests:
Big Trouble in Little
China,
Tremors,
Sin City,
Fight Club,
Lord of the Rings aka
LotR,
Predator,
Last Action Hero,
The Golden
Child,
Iron
Man,
The Dark Crystal,
Labyrinth and
Rear Window.
Food. Hmmm:
Pizza,
pasta,
curry,
burgers,
cheese and spicy sauces. I'm sane when it
comes to my spice. I like it hot - but not the macho hot that too
many Indian restaurants have succumb to serving.
I love
thinking.
I'm a fan of anyone with real lateral thinking abilities.
I'll think a lot about the
internet and where it's going - from a
geeky point of view but also from the
marketing strategies point
of view too!
I'll think about which
movies are worth going to see and what
the director was trying to say in any given movie. I think a way
you can spot a good movie is by how much people talk about it and
debate it!
I like to think on how I can help too. Small things. Would it be
better for the
environment if I did this rather
than that. Would it be more healthy if I did that rather than this.
This is a good section on okcupid because it asks what I think
about rather than what I always manage to do!
