I'm a happy person. Rarely will I have a conversation go for 5 minutes without cracking a joke of some kind.

I completed a music degree with the tuba as my primary instrument, but I can play sax, trombone, and euphonium. I also have a second bachelor's in physics.

Usually, I go from bearded to well trimmed stubble on a weekly basis. This is due to both laziness and overly sensitive skin.

Losing those last 10 pounds through exercise.

Keeping those last 10 pounds by committing to my see-food diet.

I do IT work at a medium sized company, but that's the boring part.

Outside of work, I play volleyball regularly, do long distance road cycling, read novels (not books, novels), and play video games.

Goals this year are:
Do a century.
Buy a 6 string bass guitar.
Go to Thailand.
Don't lose any more hair.

Making people laugh.

Taking initiative.

Taking care of those around me.

Understanding the world around me. If you need to know how something works, consult me.

The very first thing is my height. After that, people notice that I am cheery, playful, and tend to lightly tease.

I'll read anything by Orson Scott Card. A Princess of Mars is the book that got me back into fiction in high school. I need more book suggestions for my new Kindle, though.

I tend to like action and sci-fi movies, but I'll see mostly anything. Good Will Hunting will make me jerk a tear every time I watch it. Other movies too, but that one is the most manly to say ;-).

My music taste is diverse. Yes, it's more diverse than yours :-). I can listen to Beethoven, Hanson, Pantera, David Gray, Maroon 5, Metallica, Steel Panther, etc. all in one sitting.

As far as food goes, I'll try nearly anything once, but I do know what I like in each genre. I'm a sucker for all you can eat sushi or Korean BBQ.

In no particular order: computer, phone, family, car, creativity, and food.

This seems like I'm supposed to answer about a fixation I have. I like to plan things. So if I have something going on (i.e. a concert to perform) I'll spend time making sure I'm ready for it. Other than that, I focus on progressing my career or pushing the boundaries of my endurance.

Lately, I've been into being a bit more fashionable, so I spend some time getting together the proper outfit.

Not home.

Secrets never did anyone any good.

You are friendly and have a sense of humor.

You would be genuinely interested if I talk about what anti-oxidants actually do for you.

You notice the background music in public places.

You idea of fun is not being overloaded with sensory input. Example: Music is too loud with too many people with tons of drinks with tons of pictures with tons of makeup with tons of....

You don't have "living life" somewhere in your profile.

When you hear someone described as being "chill" it genuinely bugs you.

You can relay to me that you are passionate about something in life. Life is too short to be in cruise control.

If you might regret what you let slip away, like the geek in the pink.
