Hi. I'm Adam. I'm not really good at talking about myself.

Well, I'm not really good at talking, period. I'll do my best to let you know what I'm like in this little box, but I'm not promising anything. Somehow I doubt that a person's personality can come through in this format, with no inflection and everything is interpreted according to the mood of the person reading it.

I suppose I'll just have to list some things about myself and hope for the best.

I love to cook, and I hope to be a chef someday. I really want to own my own restaurant eventually. I also love to work with computers, I take them apart, put them together, and figure out how to fix odd problems. It's a gift. People tell me that I'm a good listener, and I suppose I am. Not being able to listen to myself it's a little hard to judge. I love the outdoors, but I also love to stay in. I like exploring, and lounging. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a paradox. I'm more than a bit of a nerd, and I have the comic collection to prove it. At heart I am a total romantic, and I'd rather have a quiet, home cooked candlelit dinner at home than to go to a fancy restaurant. I prefer to have a small group of close friends than a large group of casual acquaintances. I can be shy at times, but most of the time I just need someone to give me a little push. Hopefully you can be that person.

I've been working for the family business for a little while now, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. So now I'm looking for a real job and it sucks. Hopefully once I find something I can start saving money, since I'm eventually I'm hoping to go to culinary school. Having my own restaurant is the eventual dream.

A lot of things. Seriously, I'm good at most things I try, except playing guitar. I suck at that.

Seriously, no idea. Back when my hair was down to the middle of my back that was the obvious answer, but I shaved it all off. Maybe I should ask someone. I'll get back to you on that.

I just got my library card back, so I've actually been reading again! (it's exciting to me, shut up)

Currently I have The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to finish, along with a copy of one of my favorite stories ever, John Dies at the End. I've read quite a bit of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, and I used to be really into random fantasy novels when I was younger. Don't really have any idea what to read now though. Maybe someone out there has a suggestion for me. That would rock.

When it comes to movies I'm pretty much open to anything, some of my favorites being Chasing Amy, Mirrormask, The Notebook, Labyrinth and Clerks. That isn't really in any particular order, and I am into other genres too, those are just the ones that come to mind right now.

I can't really pick out one genre of music as my favorite, though I would say my three favorite bands are 311, Something Corporate and Sublime. That doesn't really help with my interests that much, because they can go anywhere from metal to piano rock in an instant. I'm not really all that hip on this new indie rock scene, but as I said my interests go every direction at once so if you recommend it, I'll at least give it a listen. I've been wanting to listen to something new lately.

I suppose with food I should just say that the only things I don't like are nuts, kiwi, canned tuna and creamed corn. I can't really think of anything else I don't like. Huh.

I really have no idea, I'm not a very materialistic person. I can make do with running water, something to cook on and some music to listen to. Not that I would want to do that, but, you know, just sayin'.

The menu for my dream restaurant.

Women, and if I'll ever find the one for me.

If I'll ever be financially stable enough to go back to school.

Well, nowadays I spend most of my Friday nights at the Elburn Lions club, using a bottle of green ink to mark numbered squares on a card as they are called out by some old guy by the restroom. Ah, Bingo.

I've only been in three actual relationships. One may not count because it was short, but I count it anyway, because it meant something to me. Other than that, I haven't really been involved with anyone.

You like what you read... seriously, it's as simple as that. If I sound at all interesting to you, send me a message. Who knows, I might seem even more interesting in person.
