I like to plan adventurous dates, like gondola rides, choose-your-own-adventure dates, indoor rock climbing, sleigh rides with hot cocoa. Don't worry, I'll tell you what to wear.

I gave the devil blues lessons in exchange for his soul.

I occasionally buy a new toaster and smash the old one with a sledgehammer; it shows the other appliances who's boss.

I'm trying to end a lifelong on-and-off love affair. She is sweet, and richly brown, and makes me feel bubbly. But so unhealthy for me!
(10 points if you guess right ;) 

Your cat will love me.

I like having tv-series marathons and netflixing weird movies.

I once had an Isaac Newton moment, when an apple fell on my head. I leapt up, flipped off the tree, and flew away.

Don't believe in astrology, but it's eerie how exactly Sagittarius I am.

I'm majoring (slowly) in Aerospace Science. I worked for Space Command while in the Air Force, with missile-detection satellites, and I loved every second of it.

I think it's more fun to have a drink and talk in a comfortable place, than to shout in each other's ears and get a headache from the club's sound system.

If I made a TV show, it would be "So You Think You Can Ambulate." Challenges would include navigating foot traffic with shopping bags from three stores, waving at an acquaintance while passing several light poles, things like that.

I have epic dreams about things like fighting the evil robot overlords, and tweet about them. Follow me here: www.twitter.com/israfel070

I love my little sister. My friends are my family and nothing means more to me than having a little one-on-one time, catching up with my best childhood friends (a few of whom are girls, and that's not negotiable).

I am a nazi about not wearing seatbelts and buzzed-driving. When people mention doing these, I inform them that these are really stupid reasons to die or to kill an innocent person. Who knows, maybe someone will drunkenly remember me embarrassing their ass, and a life will be saved.

I have been known to read Supreme Court rulings and actually find them interesting.

I am actually a trustworthy guy, who knew those were still around? My integrity is important to me.

You'll occasionally find it necessary break me out of my thoughts by grabbing me and shoving me into bed.

My terminal-illness plan: skydive just offshore, over a busy summer beach, with a custom parachute that says "Cancer can suck it." Pull out the pins from a few hundred feet up.

I have four fish named USS Nimitz, USS Arizona, PT-41, and Spot. Unfortunately, little USS Cole was sick when I got him and he was ceremoniously scuttled. I have a desk plant named Scruffy and he doesn't put up with bullshit.

I mail back junkmail with the Rejection Hotline as my phone number.

I imagine that the gold statue-man at Venice Beach burns with jealousy for the Blue Man Group.

I text my partying friends with philosophical thoughts; I'm the exact opposite of a drunk-texter.

I have attended around 120 funerals (While in the Air Force Honor Guard, I used to perform military honors at them). It's weird whenever I think about this.

I try to write an epic one-liner about myself, in the style of Chuck Norris jokes, on Twitter every day (among lots of other things). www.twitter.com/israfel070

I like to sit down and listen to things. Sometimes story-centric albums (I like Dream Theater, Shearwater, Phantom of the Opera, the Protomen, and Chronicles of Israfel), sometimes audiobooks (A Song of Ice and Fire is a fave), or just random things like the original radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. I have also been known to read books aloud on the occasional road trip (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is great for this!).

I've been to most of the states, as well as China, Hong Kong, and central Mexico. I got my first job at 14 and saved every single dime for a year, just so I could see Japan the next summer. I've met a lot of people and I've seen a lot of life. I have strong opinions and I like to talk about things with an open mind. To me, having different opinions doesn't preclude caring about a person.

Finally bit the bullet and moved to Long Beach! I work at Best Buy and continually impress my bosses.

Lots of things, I'm a fast learner and I'm always trying out new hobbies. I have tried lots of strange jobs (phone operator, theatre stagehand, medical/legal courier, summer camp counselor, Intelligence Analyst, Air Force Honor Guard) just for interesting experiences!

My (well-kept) scruffy stubble, or my dimples. People never mention my green eyes, which is a little sad, I like them!

All the stuff mentioned in About Me.

TV faves include Arrested Development, Rome, Dexter, Flight of the Conchords, Firefly, next year's A Game of Thrones, BSG, True Blood, and similar things.

I keep ending up with petite brunettes who have a warm personality, are artistic, and have brown eyes I can drown in. But I don't really aim for that, it just keeps happening!

If being dorky with your boyfriend is ultimate fun :) If you feel flattered by me slapping your ass and giving you a compliment. If you want someone you can have a deep conversation about life's travails with. If you can tolerate someone who feels self-satisfied when he uses a word like "travails." If you like sex often. If you can deal with a guy having close female friends that he's known since childhood. If you can appreciate how fun it is to pronounce "kayak" several times (and paddle around in them, too... I guess)
