After three years back in school for a masters in accounting I'm finally finished....and I have no idea what to do with all of the spare time that's freed up. I love to learn, but I'm drained at this point,and I'm looking forward to putting in extra hours that I get paid for instead of having to pay for them. Yes, I'm all grown up and stuff! Being grown up and knowing what I want, while still being a geek/nerd/dork and having fun aren't mutually exclusive, though. I balance it pretty well.

I'm not originally from Oklahoma, or really anywhere (federal government brat). I also don't agree with most of the typical Oklahoma views on things, nor am I country or redneck. Accept and embrace it. If you're right wing, particularly if you think homosexuality is a sin and gays should burn, we won't get along. Not that I'm ultra-liberal, though, I despise both extreme ends of the political spectrum. Compromise is a dead art these days.

About to start studying for the CPA exam and being a kick-ass accountant.

Balancing my debits and credits, being very male in some ways but surprisingly mature and nonstereotypical in others (my favorite movies and music lists are excellent examples of what I mean), and having an escape plan in case of a zombie outbreak.

At 6'3", that I'm tall. After that, probably that I'm quiet. Not so much shy as I listen more than I talk. More Don Draper than Harry Crane, if you watch Mad Men.

I really enjoy reading, but with going back to school for the last three years I haven't had much time to do any. Movies and a handful of TV shows have been filling my craving for fiction instead, since there's less of a time commitment. Plus when I start reading I lose track of time.

Beyond the essentials for life:

My dog.

My favorite music.

A toothbrush and toothpaste. I hate morning breath.

Escapist media; usually movies or a favorite show, since I have to do so much reading for class, but since that's about over my book collection is going to get put to use again.

Learning. Just because I'm burnt out on the classroom setting doesn't mean I am sick of acquiring knowledge.

Travel. Last summer I visited Atlanta, Charlotte, and New York for vacation, and I went to Costa Rica in January. The British Isles and/or France may be up next, I'm undecided.

In case of zombies, my weapons.

Where should I go on my next vacation? Costa Rica was in January, a three-city trip in 9 days (Atlanta, Charlotte, NYC) was last August, the year before was another NYC trip. I do love that city.

Relaxing at home. A 60+ hour week, before any studying, projects, or homework, will drain your energy. Now try doing that for 3 years straight. Understand why I like that down time and I'm not out somewhere? Tobacco smoke being a trigger for allergy migraines makes it difficult to go out to most places in OKC too.

I care more about my dog than I do about most people. Sorry, but it's true. She loves me unconditionally and doesn't create massive headaches, and she's smarter than a lot of hairless apes. Come to think of it, there's some actual apes that are smarter than a segment of the hairless ape population...

Also, I love geeks and nerds. Intelligence is a huge turn on for me. Yes, I'm sapiosexual.

If you like smart guys. A Venn Diagram of Women Who Like Men To Be Unintelligent and Women I Really Don't Want to Date...would be a circle.

You're intelligent and can hold your own in conversation. At the very least you should be able to form complete sentences and u dnt tlk lyk dis, 4 sho. If I have to spend time deciphering a message it's more likely that I'll delete it instead of putting out the effort. Or to use the Venn diagram analogy, it would be Women Who Are Intelligent and Women I Want to Date.

You're accepting of homosexuality and don't believe it's a sin. You believe everyone should have the right to be happy and themselves. My tolerance for homophobia is about as close to zero as you can get.

You're ready for the zombie apocalypse. The dead will rise! Go pick up the Zombie Survival Guide.
