What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Writing. a lot. I currently have two screenplays and a few stage plays at various drafts and stages of completion. Some of them are for the budding theater company that a group of friends and I started. Meetings/fundraisers for that take up some time. Our first full length production will go up in April. I have a 9-5 job working for the state in mortgage broker license regulation.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

any number of trivial and useless talents that still manage to impress people. including, but certainly not limited to: rolling a coin across my knuckles, frantic/sporadic bursts of successful juggling, reciting the alphabet backwards, and solving a rubik's cube. I am an above average poker player and always looking for a game. I am fairly proficient at walking without injuring myself.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

If you asked other people they'd probably say my eyes.

But you asked me, so I'm going to lie and tell you it's my rippling, muscular build and the gentle, soothing baritone of my voice.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I enjoy each of the above categories, but what I really enjoy about them is discussing these things in person. It's probably my favorite way to get to know someone or let them get to know me. So ask me what books I'm currently reading, what movies inspire me, my categorical analysis of pop culture criticism. My personality comes across better in actual conversation anyway. (and it will help me pretend that getting to know someone online isn't that different from face to face)

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

I'm going to assume they're going for items I value highly (for the purposes of establishing my personality) as opposed to those I could literally not live without.
1. composition notebook/mechanical pencil
2. a crossword puzzle
3. Thai restaurant within delivering distance
4. TV on DVD (having that next episode right there can be addicting/distracting)
5. a book (if it has to be specific High Fidelity would be appropriate, given the list structure)
6. another person

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Well, I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to answer this question without embarrassing myself. Basically, I think in dialogue. If I see two people on the L, I might imagine what they would talk to each other about. Sometimes I practice conversations I'll be having later. It's really great for my writing, but probably not something I should mention on a Personals profile. whoops.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Some of the potential answers to that question include (with ascending energy requirement):
-ordering thai food and watching a movie (or the aforementioned TV on DVD)
-having people over for some rousing low-stakes poker action
-attending rehearsal/administrative meetings when required
-going out/meeting friends/meeting you? what are you doing friday?
-spending the night as my crime fighting alter-ego 'the scourge'

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I'm not as cynical as I make myself out to be. I get swept up easily in the moment, and that leads to a lot of 'guilty pleasures'. whether that means listening to Journey or watching a Michael Bay film (that swooping low angle slow motion shot that's in all his movies gets me just about every time).

You should message me if Propose an edit

...you can keep up. That's it. The one prerequisite I have. It's all encompassing enough that it covers a lot of ground, and also very specific for every category it applies to. I consider myself intelligent, witty, sarcastic, and playful, and I'm looking for someone who fits all of those categories enough that they can keep up. Hope to hear from you.
Also if you are EVER looking for a game of poker. We have a rotating group of people that play, but could always use another player.

Edit: I've been living outside my means for a while and am now suffering the financial consequences of my frivolity. So, message me if you're interested in staying in and watching a movie and eating whatever's in my fridge. Seriously, I'd love the company.
