Name's Nolan. I like to laugh. I'm a homebody.

Reading's cool. I like it. Movies, too, but only good movies. Unless it's bad movies for the sake of laughing at, then those are good movies.

I'm mostly a night owl. Mornings can be hard.

I really don't have any religious or political affiliation, though I do tend to lean left.

I've lived with animals my whole life, and I'm really not sure I could see myself living without a pet.

I can be pretty shy at times. However, once I get comfortable, I can be really talkative.

I was doing freelance programming for a while, though now I work for a company out of Indianapolis doing web development. Currently, I'm working on getting more experience doing technical talks.

Making people laugh, I suppose. Listening, communicating.

I've been getting better at cooking, but I wouldn't say I'm good at it yet.

I can make an awesome shake called an Alabaster Retard, too. Don't expect you to get the name unless you've seen a lot of The Mighty Boosh.

Sense of humor, patience (I've had to learn it, certainly did not come naturally), nerdiness. As far as physically I have no idea - no one has ever told me nor have I ever bothered to ask.

A) Books - Wow, such a long list, I'll go with authors. Anything by Neil Gaiman (but especially Sandman, Neverwhere, American Gods, Good Omens), George R.R. Martin, Kurt Vonnegut, Alan Moore Dan Simmons (Especially the Hyperion and Ilium series) or Douglas Adams.

B) Again, really huge list. Zombieland was freaking amazing. I also like most comedies, action flicks, you name it. Most recently, I really like Children of Men, The Good Sheperd, The Dark Knight, Demetri Martin: Person, any Eddie Izzard stand up (Glorious is my favorite, though), the latest Star Trek, Watchmen (book was better, but it was a good adaptation).

B1 - I love British TV show like The Mighty Boosh, Quite Interesting and older things such as A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Favorite show right now, though, has to be Better Off Ted. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are also in the lineup, though I often miss them. I've been enamored with Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development, Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, 30 Rock, The Boondocks, Archer, The Wire, House of Cards, Adventure Time.

C) Try me, I'll listen to pretty much anything. Really. A preview: Heavy, Astronautalis, The Gaslight Anthem, Florence + The Machine, Ladyhawke, Quiet Company, Modern Science Here Come the Mummies, The National, The Decemberists, The Black Keys, Glue, Adeem. A lot of time I'll just have thesixtyone.com on in the background and listen to whatever comes on.

D) Love all kinds. Been on a huge sushi kick lately.

Challenges. Gotta have them to grow.
Comedy - better to laugh than to cry.
Internet
Computer
Sleep
Something to read. Book, internet, magazine, whatever.

Why I'm still living in Indiana instead of moving somewhere warmer.

It depends. I'm fine with staying in, going to a movie or play, or possibly out with friends.

Recently, I started doing some work for a local improv group and New World Arts in Goshen.

See that door marked pirate? Do you think a pirate lives there?

It's adventure time.
