I'm a huge geek but don't be scared, I have some tact and social graces. I'm lovingly sarcastic with a dry sense of humor, which often tends to sabotage said tact. Who doesn't love someone who can make them laugh? That said, I am weird (not the scary kind though) and don't mind a bit. Overly normal people are so much more boring than a nice weirdo. I suspect I was supposed to be a punk or a trendy gay guy but they canceled each other out and I just drifted into being a weird geek.

I love ideas, either getting a new perspective on something I know or finding something entirely new to ponder over until my puzzler is sore. I dearly wish that I had some musical or artistic talent.

I'm not sure if I'm bi or just gay and confused. I'm mostly interested in guys but every time I think I've got it figured out I seem to stumble upon a girl who makes me very confused.

For some reason OKCupid seems to think I don't want love and would prefer meaningless sex. While I wouldn't mind being a fling for a cute guy I am much more interested in something meaningful.

Politically I'm very left but I'm open minded and will respect anyone who can do the same to me. I am very much still looking for what I should believe in but so far I haven't found anything that doesn't require detaching from reality or from ethics.

I really hate writing about myself and I keep wanting to come back and edit this, but I think each time only makes it more incoherent, but I think that might help convey who I am. I should mention I am a bit crazy, but its generally considered harmless and if not exciting at least amusing. I'm really quiet while getting to know people but once I do I can be pretty loud when the situation warrants. In person I'm far less rambling than this summary would suggest, although if you you keep me up to 3am and then pick my brain you will probably get nonsensical musing (which is when I always seem to feel the need to 'fix' my profile).

I'm really bad at keeping up with messages and tend to read them and start to think of a reply and wander off to do something else and then forget that I didn't send a reply. If you send me a message I will do my best to get back to you, but if I don't don't take it personally and I'll try to get back to you before too long.

Slowly working towards a degree in computer science/mechanical engineering or maybe something else. Cognitive science is pretty neat and I could see myself getting into physics or maybe history if I found a time period I was really into. Philosophy is cool too, but I don't know if I could handle it full time. I wonder why they don't offer a degree in Everything.

Learning new things. Pretty much anything with computers. Science kinda things. Remembering obscure facts, usually when they are mostly useless. Interesting discussions. Teaching anything I know and some things I don't know. I'm told I'm funny but but you have to get my sense of humor or it will just come off as babbling gibberish.

Despite being effete fag who dreams of circuitry and data structures, I'm a surprisingly adept handyman. I can make things on a mill or lathe with reasonable accuracy and speed. I can weld passably but wouldn't want to trust my life on it.

I used to have purple hair which was pretty much a freebie.

I suppose either that I rarely talk or I am the most boringly dressed person ever. I'm awfully shy so I'm really quiet when I meet new people, especially in large numbers, so people are a bit shocked when I do speak up. As far as clothes go I don't really have any fashion sense beyond the bare essentials so I wear boring things like jeans and a plain t-shirt. (This boyfriend of his disagrees and thinks he's totally adorable!) I wish I was better at it but it rolls off my mind like water off a duck's back and I end up in my boring old outfits.

Neuromancer, Old Man's War, Catch 22, The Diamond Age, The Baroque Cycle, A Song of Ice and Fire series, Guns Germs and Steel, Hyperion (although the rest of the series is a bit of a letdown), Harry Potter, Culture novels by Iain M Banks. I read everything from Beowolf to the backs of cereal boxes and then I feel let down I don't have anything else to read. I love books that have fun stories even if they are pulp, or that really get me thinking about a new idea or a new way about an old idea even if they aren't that good. Reading is kinda my default if I have nothing else to do I'll grab anything and read it.

The Royal Tenenbaums, Leon, Starship Troopers, The Matrix (the other two are abominations), Fight Club, Fargo, Juno, Snatch, Pulp Fiction, Brazil, Full Metal Jacket. I hate trying to list things like this because I always end up forgetting so many that are so great.

I generally don't listen to music (and have been accused of being a robot for it) but some of the stuff I like: The Postal Service, Daft Punk, Flogging Molly, Bad Religion, Orbital, Rage Against the Machine, Outernational. Mostly music is just kinda background for me and I would be just as happy without it.

Some difficult years taught me I can do without many things I wouldn't expect to; its just not very pleasant. I go even crazier if I don't have a steady stream of new things to ponder and someone to ponder over them with. Books and video games will keep me going for a long time. Procrastination, and on that note I'll come back to this one.

Thinking. How the mind works fascinates me. How are we able to solve a problem or leap from topic to topic or learn something new. Where do our thoughts come from? Our brains are an entirely physical object yet the mind is so very much more.

This is just my latest of topics. Maybe I'll write up whatever is on my mind in the journal sometime.

I'm still a twenty something guy so sex, guys, relationships, fire and explosions and the like.

Hanging out with friends or being a huge geek and relaxing with a book or movie or video game. Sadly, more of the latter, as most of my friends are 500 miles away.

I'm currently dating TajjBohime who I'm crazy about. Sadly, he is in Massachusetts and I'm in Ohio for the school year. We talked it over and are gonna try a kinda open thing. So at the moment I'm looking for a cute/fun guy to hang out and have sex with but I'm not sure what that would be as far as a relationship.

I really like giving head. I haven't had that many opportunities but its always been quite fun.

I'm shy but also oddly open about a lot of things so if there is something you are dieing to know just ask.

You can spell and use grammar at least reasonably well, I'm not into 12-year-olds so if you write like one, I'll probably just ignore you.

You are interested. You like interesting conversations and ideas. You are a fellow weirdo of the fun and not overly scary variety. You think it might be fun.
