What kind of Hero Are You?

www.theschoolforheroes.com

Well, I'm basically a very weird person. I like all things geeky, from D&D to video games to Star Trek, but I also like to play in sports when asked, to work out, and to go on adventures when the opportunity presents itself (read: I like to do just about anything). I've taken karate before, and have earned my black belt in both Chinese and American style, as well as getting ranks in Kemp and Arnis, and have even taken sword-fighting classes (defensive, not sport).

I try to relax about life, but it's very hard as I also have the tendency to look too far long-term into the future, which makes me worry too much; however, I have been getting better about that lately, so I almost never worry about trivial things. I seek to learn as much about everything as I can, though I tend not to be an expert in anything as a result. I'm looking for a casual relationship to start out with, and have the possibility of it becoming long-term at a later time.

Also, a word to those who may notice my "over-active sex drive / fixation on sex" and are worried I'm only going for the one-night stand, please relax: sex *is* fun to me, and I *am* open about talking about it (obviously), but I'm actually mostly about the make-out sessions (kissing/scratching/stroking the back/i.e. no REAL sexual intercourse) when we first meet and hang out/date. I usually have the most fun during foreplay or when I'm making her feel good, and usually I can do that just fine with a good half-hour make out session (hence the "submissive" word on my profile description). If you want sex, then you can initiate when you're good and ready (and I'll happily oblige). Besides, if something "goes wrong" - and other options are barred - I won't be the one having problems for 9 or so months, right? So why should *I* push for it?

Bottom line: the only thing I want from you is your company, interest/attraction between us, and eventually a real make-out session. Provided that criteria is met, I'm as happy as a cat who caught a fish :)

I am Submissive, Smart, and weird

Well, it's been several months here, and I have to say I'm enjoying being out on my own again. A few wrinkles with my new place, but that's to be expected, right? Maintenance has been pretty consistent with dealing with my problems quickly, so I'm hoping to stay here for the rest of my time in Atlanta. Hopefully I'll be able to talk Management into keeping my rent hike low next year come renewal time.

Just yesterday, though, I finally did what I've been wanting to do for over a decade: I bought myself the parts for a super computer for about $8K! Now, for all 3 people that read this, I hear the gasps of shock and indignation at such a purchase, and I COULD get into how I don't plan on buying/upgrading for 5 years, and how this allows optimum performance over said 5 year period. But I'll just be honest: it's a vanity thing, similar to how some people dream of having a Lamborghini. It's something I've always wanted (since 10/11th grade), and I've been looking to get it for a long time. I know that the computer alone won't make me happy, but coupled with the fact that it completes a VERY long-term goal of mine, and combined with health, romance, a good job, friends that care and extended family that care should AT LEAST come close (spiritual enlightenment? It's unobtainable, anyway, so why strive for it ;).

Looking forward to getting the parts so I can put this beast together...!

Got my appartment, got my furniture (moved 800lbs of furniture BY MYSELF!), now just waiting for my internet to be hooked up on the 25th. Hence why I'm only rarely getting on right now.

I've been holding back for a while, because I wasn't sure it would happen, but it's finally official:

I'M GETTING MY OWN APARTMENT SOON!

REALLY good rate, too! And I love the layout of the place, TONS of room for me (the walk-in-closet is more like a second room)!

Only thing now is to confirm WHICH floor I'll be on: I was told the 5th, but they had me down on the 10th (more expensive), so now I need to go back and straighten this out.

Still, it wouldn't be a deal-breaker to be on the 10th. Sure it's more expensive, but it has a better view for it, so I guess it would even out.

And since all utilities are included in the price, I'd say my price is already about as cheap as it gets in the middle of a city!

Move-in date is the 27th of June. I have some more planning to do, but after that, I should be good to go!

Well, no complications, and I'm back on my feet! Working hard at my job, and loving every day of it! My boss has recently praised me highly, so I have high hopes for promotion this year (please please). And Toastmasters is going well, as always. I hope to get to my 8th formal speech by May this year.
Speaking of, my plans to move into my own place by June's end are coming along quite well. I hope to start looking around mid-May, but from what glances I've taken now, I have high hopes for a great place at the location/price I want!

Thanks to Toastmasters, being placed in a lead role at work and years of theater lessons, I've learned that I can be a very effective leader in business situations, and that I'm an EXTREMELY good listener.

I'm good at understanding and empathizing with people. I'm actually better at typing then I am speaking thanks to a learning disability, though I am trying to improve that.

I used to be like so many others and downgrade myself all the time. It took a long time, but I can finally start seeing myself as having things I'm good at, and so I've finally started working on improving things I'm good at instead of always "fixing" bad parts about me.

For a long time I sucked at blending things: I was either black or white, NEVER a shade of gray. But I've worked on that and become extremely good at it.

I'm also good at saying it like it is and giving advice when others present their problems to me. Usually, with excellent results (helps to have the final trait below).

Finally, I'm really good at being both patient and persistent (read: stubborn like the bull). It's the foundation of most of my skills above. It's how I developed what courage that I hold today, and I would not give that up for all the tea in China!

My eyes, mostly. And the fact that they change color. They've been everything from blue to green to brown to purple(deep indigo color twice according to others: I keep looking in the mirror, but I never see it!)

I don't play favorites on stuff. I like too much stuff to sort through it all. I think it would be easier to list my LEAST favorites:

a) C++ an introduction to computing 2nd edition: Good lord, I hated that book! Every time I had to open it, I was bombarded with lines of obscure code with almost no real explanation of what any of it did. What little actual spoken language that was there was used to explain the technical sophistication of C++ as a language and how it came to be. I just threw that to the side eventually and looked it all up online, like a sane person.

b) Any horror or thriller you name: I hate horror and thriller movies/shows. I hate them. Which is odd because I LOVE horror/thriller books and video games.

What's that, you say? You think I'm a wimp who can't handle being scared? Alright, keep thinking that. Come on over and lets discuss it. I'll fire up a round of "F.E.A.R." on my PC or some "Fatal Frame II" on the ol' Xbox, and you can play those while we talk (muhuhahahahaa...!)

c) Hmmm...toughie...Christian Rock, I guess. Though admittedly, I haven't heard that much of it so...I guess I like ALL music styles...?

d) Easy: LETTUCE. I USED to hate ALL greens, but after a while I got sick of myself being so stupid, and just tried everything about three times. Lettuce couldn't pass the mustard (or dressing), so I avoid it when I can.

Friends, My Imagination, "*blank*-games" (board, card, video, etc...), sexual activity, my health

...

Oh, and maybe food, air, and water after those...at least I'd die happy (though my friends might not appreciate being dragged into the void with me... :-P)

Anything that pops into my head

Seriously, my imagination is usually where I'm at if I'm not actively doing something. I can entertain myself quite well, so I'm never bored (though when I'm with others, I'm never bored anyway)

I'm finally getting my imagination to APPLY itself to the rest of the world! YAY I FOUNDZ TE OUTLET O' CRAZY HAHA!1!! It's so nice to actually be able to use my whole mind as an outlet for my skills...

If my imagination is busted, or I'm talking, then I'm usually thinking of the latest humor site or webcomic that I've seen recently, or about the most recent game I've played, or what my friends (or girlfriend when I have one) are up to. If I'm in the mood to be serious minded, I think about the world's state of affairs, business and finances, science, philosophy, history...any number of things.

Working all day, then playing all night. During the evenings are when I'm on here chatting and surfing, or playing a game or two (would be three if I could just learn to use my feet effectively...). I'm getting more active at going out and hanging out, but I need more people to actually do that with. Not to mention more ideas of where to GO...

When I was 22, I went to get another new social security card after losing my old one at the bottom of a lake. They kept giving me funny looks and asking if I really was who I claimed, and I kept having to assure them yes. Finally, they called out a supervisor, who explained that, and I quote: "Apparently, we have a small error in your information: we have you down as female." My IMMEDIATE response (without missing a beat I'm proud to admit): "Wow, so I've been impersonating a woman for the last 20 years! That explains so much!"
Did I mention I can laugh at almost ANYthing...?

You live nearby, are interested in meeting me (online and eventually in person), and have the guts to go down the mad mad rabbit hole that is my universe.

No kids, though. Sorry.
