I am mordant, aspiring, and well-read.
My Self-Summary
Well, I graduated from Shorter College a while back. Which was
interesting, as it gave me some very, ah, unique views on religion.
But that's better for talking about in person. Otherwise, I have a
great sense of humor, even if it is very
sarcastic. I figured it couldn't hurt
to try using this thing. I love talking about
politics, as well as having any
sort of
intellectual
conversation in general. Oh, and I'm a really a big
dork at heart. Although "at
heart" makes it sound like it's something that's not obvious, so
maybe that's not the best term.
What I’m doing with my life
Working, at the moment. Trying to get into
law school for this fall. Maybe
something
political long term. I'm also not
opposed to some awesome job like the Mythbusters have, where I get
to do cool stuff all day long and still get paid for it. It's
really kind of a hard question. I know everyone sort of wanted to
be
President
when they were little, but I never really gave up on that. Hehe.
Although, failing that, I could settle for a membership on the
SCOTUS and be just as happy. Of course, if NASA ever has a need for
completely unprofessional astronauts, I wouldn't turn that down
either.
I’m really good at
Er, let's see here.
Video games in general. Which is
horribly
nerdy, I
know, but that's probably pretty average for everyone on here, so
why not go with it. And, actually, board games and stuff like that
too. Risk, monopoly, card games, whatever. Randomly enough, I'm
good at standardized tests. I don't know why, it's not like I ever
prepare for the things. Hmmm, what else is there. Oh, actually, I'm
pretty good with technology in general. I'm the person who also
gets called on to program family member's DVD players and VCRs and
iPods and so on. And to fix the computers. And I'm really good at
arguing with people, or at least I think I am.
The first things people usually notice about me
Hmmm. I really don't know. I suppose I'll have to ask some of my
friends and get back to this one. Looks wise, I'm pretty average. I
don't wear any jewelry 'cause I haven't found any I like yet, not
even a watch. (Does anyone still wear a watch? Isn't that why we
have cell phones?) I'll come back to this one.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
A. Good lord. Most recently I read The Golden Compass, which gets
put intsantly into my favorites list because it was amazingly good,
especially for something that is supposed to be a children's book.
Ummm.... stuff by Kurt
Vonnegut and Mark
Twain. Ender's game and the rest of
that series. Dune,
Freakonomics, Confessions of an
Economic Hitman, all the old Calvin and Hobbes books, Wicked, Son
of a Witch, Misquoting Jesus, Inherit the Wind, books by Mencken,
and that's just what's sitting on my desk. Terry Pratchett. Douglas
Adams. Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal.
We'll end this list here because it would take all day.
B.
V for
Vendetta was probably my favorite movie of the last decade.
Also Star Wars, Dune, every episode of
MST3K, Kung Fu Hustle, Boondock Saints,
Anchorman, Mel Brookes movies, and so on and so forth.
C. Hmmm. Stuff I've liked lately includes Weezer, Green Day, and
that new song by Panic! at the Disco that they play about once
every five minutes but I still like it for reasons I can't fully
explain. Oh, also, I like a lot of musicals. Yeah, that's right. I
said it. So there.
D. Sushi! Also most asian stuff, or mexican, or really pretty much
anything, honestly. If I've never had it before I'm willing to try
it. Also and especially stuff that I've cooked. I'm a pretty decent
chef, or at least I like to pretend I am. Your mileage my vary
there.
The six things I could never do without
1. Books. 2. the Internet. [/nerd] Seriously, is there anything
Google doesn't know? 3. good friends. 4. errr.... my car? I'm
starting to run out here. 5. Money? 6. Friends who live elsewhere
and are an excuse to leave Woodstock because it tends to be boring.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Politics. Too much about that, honestly. And about religion. As
well as all sorts of stuff I'd like to learn about, usually about
whatever I happen to be reading. Anything from theoretical physics
to why UPN still exists as a television station. I'm pretty random
like that.
On a typical Friday night I am
Doing things. Playing games with friends. Rock Band! Board games.
Going out. Seeing a movie. Not seeing a movie.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I almost tried out for American Idol. But then I read the contract
that said you basically had to sign over everything for the rest of
forever to Fox. Not so big on that.
You should message me if
You're single and vaguely interested in the same things. Or just
want to talk about stuff, really. Or if you want to yell at me or
something; I'm bored. Or if you want to shower me with praise,
money, and/or undeserved gifts. It could never hurt, you know!
