I tell it like it is. My friends find me entertaining and supportive. I have a degree in Biology and work in IT, so there's a fair amount of nerd/geek in me. I'm a lot more socially adept than the average nerd, but I still make comments and references that screw with people's heads. I occasionally will talk about Anatomy lab or decapitating mice (I did epilepsy research, I'm not a future serial killer). If you're squeamish or just don't like to hear about how the body works, it's probably not going to work between us. In good news, if things work out between us, I'm damned good at fixing computers! I enjoy spending time with friends. I'm not big into going out to bars and clubs, they make conversation difficult. I'd rather have dinner or something where you can just talk and enjoy each other's company. In general, I avoid the media; news tends to be sensationalist and depressing, celebrities have problems like everyone else, and reality TV just bores me. I enjoy photography, theatre, cooking, and cuddling up with some popcorn, a cute guy, and a good movie.

I'm currently a software developer. I work mostly in C#, though I've been known to use PHP for personal projects. I also have a graphic design and printing resale business, though I really need to build it up.
I just bought a condo in December 2008 and am working on turning it into my home.
I also have a puppy named Cocoa. I got her in May from the Animal Protection League and they guess she was born in October of 2008. She's about 50 pounds, brindle-colored, and one of the best things that's happened to me in a long time.

Figuring out how things work, both literally and metaphorically - I love taking things apart just to poke around in them. Photography - mostly digital these days (I have a Nikon d70), though I'd love to have access to a darkroom and shoot some black & white again. I'm pretty good at most things computer-related, but after working at a computer all day I tend to avoid them at home. I can cook and bake pretty well and love cooking dinner with/for someone. I have a powerful mastery of English; so things like conjugating verbs, making puns, and knowing which homophone to use in a given situation. Innuendo, making people do double-takes, saying horribly inappropriate things with a straight face (sometimes).

I'm not sure I've ever asked anyone. People like my smile, though I'm horrible at smiling in photos.

Random things! My brain tends to wander and think of a million things at once, so there is no discernible pattern.

Either being lame at home alone, at a party, or out doing something random/crazy with friends. It all depends on the week.

I'm not a very private person. We'll go with "I have six piercings, bonus points if you can guess them all."

You're charming, witty, and/or a decent human being. Those with common courtesy (though this has become quite the misnomer) and a sense of basic human decency get to the front of the line, as do the nerdy, indie, pierced, educated, tall, dark, and/or handsome.
