I'm looking for interesting friends.
I'm looking for love.
I'm looking for fun.

I grew up on the internet.
I like to vivisect the minds of friends, and dissect the minds of heroes.
I work out several times a week, and think that this gives me license to eat whatever I want. It seems to work.
When I was 19 I packed up and left my home & family, and have been on my own ever since.
I get shit done.
Yet I still love to daydream.
I am deeply proud of my independence and self-made status.
Yet my deepest wish is for someone to share my joys and trials.

What Am I Looking For?
-Intelligence
-Nerdiness
-Honesty
-Laid back people
-Humor
-Fun
-Balance/Rationality
-Basic problem solving skills
-Ability to multi-task and work in a team environment
-401k and benefits

What Will I Not Tolerate?
-Smoking
-Drama
-Attention whores (Extreme 1)
-People afraid to be attention whores (Extreme 2)
-Fatties (Extreme 1)
-Shallowness (Extreme 2)
-Lemmings (Extreme 1; unless you have ACTUAL lemmings...)
-Anti-Lemmings/non-conformists (Extreme 2; unless you have ACTUAL anti-Lemmings...)

What do I offer?
I fulfill all of the demands I listed above, and more.

School. Math and Computer Science. Working. Making mistakes and learning from them. Surviving. Living. Dying.

Hobbies - gaming languages trolling

Everything.

I list my #1 most important trait as "Rapid Skill & Knowledge Acquisition."

Long hair. Brutal honesty.

This is always the most boring section.

=Books=
The classics (sans Dickinson, overrated tripe)
Wheel of Time series
R.A. Salvatore's work
Nerdy shit in general, high fantasy and sci-fi

=Movies=
Fight Club?
None, really. I enjoy a good miniseries, and have a penchant for good.....
=Anime=
Kaiba
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note

=Music=
Metal (Amon Amarth, Ensiferum, Disillusion)
Techno (Videogame remixes, Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga)
Avant Garde (Diablo Swing Orchestra, Tool, weird stuff)
Just about everything else, too!

=Food=
I've learned to appreciate what people are good at. In NY I eat a lot of Italian, on the coast I eat a lot of seafood, in the southwest I eat a lot of Southern and Mexican.
I am a meat eater, and nothing will ever change that.
I love spicy anything.

=Vidya Gaems=
Go ahead. Quiz me.

A knife.

I am Brock Samson.

The meaning of MY life, being self-critical, silly things, and all sorts of random crap.

Here is a description of my last 3 Fridays, as of this writing.
1st Most Recent: Aion beta
2nd Most Recent: Brüno
3rd Most Recent: Unwinding after a week of hard work

I'm typically the accept-any-challenge-and-fear-nothing manly man, but spiders make me squeal. I will kiss a rattlesnake before I lay a finger on even a tiny harmless arachnid.

You have your priorities in order and suffer no mental illnesses that aren't at least entertaining.
Two terms:
1) Self-respecting
2) Nerd
Pretty rare combination. I have it. Do you? Great! Send me a message.

Clarification: This means you know the name, rank, and duties of the character played by Brent Spiner on Star Trek: TNG, but you also look good at the beach. Or: You know about 4chan and enjoy visiting from time to time, but don't feel spontaneous urges to shout random memes in public. Or: Having your conversations segue from the latest news, to the benefits of multi-core processors, to flirting, to why DBZ is better than Naruto, all feels perfectly natural and doesn't make you uncomfortable at all. And you still look good on the beach.

=DEALBREAKERS=
-Yes, I'm really 5'5"
-I'm an independently financed student (read: No money, but my own digs and car)
-I maintain close friendships with ex-girlfriends
-I am brutally honest, and consider this a service

ALSO!
Message me if you speak any foreign languages. I'm addicted to languages, and I have no friends that share my passion.
This makes me a very sad linguist.
