Your Notes

Edit your notes

I am scrappy, fiesty, and carbon-based.

My Self-Summary

A Philly transplant by way of Wisconsin, I like comic books and roller derby, terrible science fiction movies and great food that looks more dangerous than it really is.

More often than not, I get described as a wiseass. I'm pretty quiet the first time you meet me, but if I like you, I warm up quick.

I love adventures and adventuring, just not in your typical Colorado-an sense. I prefer my death-defying in the form of castle spelunking, reverse escalator riding, haunted prison wrestling, road trip navigating, and/or various other events that may or maynot someday get me dead.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm currently a full time grad student. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.

When I'm not up to my ears in gradschoolations, I pretend to be invested in bartending (was previously, not currently), climb as many things with as few ropes as I can, and try to make time for prize winning bar sports. It's a tough life, but someone's gotta live it.

I’m really good at

Reading comic books, laughing at b movies, remembering obscure scifi short stories, tetris, ordering Shirley Temples with a straight face, supporting the creative endeavors of my friends (whether or not they suck), telling my friends that their creative endeavors might actually suck, geeking out over some band you've never heard of, moshing clockwise, puddle jumping, moon tanning, trying to eat my weight in waffles, writing honestly, tangrams, flower arranging.

I'm really bad at: bowling, mini golf, drinking wine, maintaining my composure in polite company, ordering food in foreign countries, parallel parking, astrophysics, remembering the scoring notation for baseball, faking happiness, scrabble, writing these profiles. Not like any of that stops me from trying.

The first things people usually notice about me

I know a little bit about damn near everything. Consequently, I get way too excited about Quizzo.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I feel like I should mention that this is by no means a finite list, or even a checklist. Please, dear god, do not use it as a checklist. I love it when people have their own interests. That being said, I [i]do[/i] thinks that common interests account for something... like, if I like discordian avant-metal (I do. A lot.) and your favourite frontman is Scott Stapp, or I like dinosaurs and you like Kirk Cameron, then, y'know, we're probably not going to jive.

a) The Phantom Tollbooth, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Brave New World, The Bicentennial Man, His Dark Materials; Preacher, Transmetropolitan, Concrete, Fables, Amazing Spider Man; Paul Auster, F. Paul Wilson, Bill Bryson.

b) The Matrix, Josie and the Pussycats, Land of the Dead, Logan's Run, Cabin Fever, Robot Jox, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, Mystery Men, Newsies, In the Mouth of Madness, The Game, Cube, The Sandlot.

c) The Weakerthans, Nirvana, Garbage, Manowar, Idlewild, Holy Fuck, Brainiac, The Faint, Pig Destroyer, Shellac, The Flaming Lips, John Zorn, Lightning Bolt, bands you've never heard of, blah blah blah.

d) Ice creams of the future.

Where does Patton Oswalt fit in here? Oh. Right there. Howdy.

The six things I could never do without

standardcrapanswersmooshedtogethertocountasone, lox & cream cheese, geektastic friends, live music, living in fear of an Irony Singularity, a comfy bra.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Who the hell thought giving Dan Brown a book deal was a good idea. Extended gambits. Distractions. Leonardo DaVinci. Time travel. Time travel in comic books. Why liberal hotheads are just as infuriating as conservative hotheads. Why don't I have a better cup of tea in front of me right now? Why concept cars never look as good in production as they did in prototype. Am I really immune to poison ivy? The effectiveness of certain mass market ad campaigns. Logan kicking the wussy out of Scott Summers. Curling. Cursing. Socktopi. Old relationships. New relationships. Edison and Tesla. The future. My future. Where to go and how to get there. Whether or not my brain has a secret Off switch.

On a typical Friday night I am

Trying to figure out how to make "hanging out with friends and not caring who hears me" sound more impressive than it really is.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I might be the most un-outdoorsy person ever to move to Colorado.

Double secret: I'm willing to give most of it a shot - but I need patient encouragement. I hate feeling like the newbie in a sea of grizzled old expert whatever-ers.

You should message me if

You think you can one-up me with some sort of bizarrely obscure arcana, and make me laugh while doing it. If you can make me laugh, pretty much everything else is irrelevant. Compatible senses of humor can't be tested for or "matched" on the interwebz, but I'm always on the lookout for it.

You have interests BESIDES hiking-biking-skiing-climbing. Don't get me wrong, these things are awesome, but come ON, Colorado. I know you're more interesting than that.

...Willing to forgive this re-friggin-diculous username I'm stuck with would be pretty swell, too.
