I am inteligent, satirical, and outgoing.

My Self-Summary

No one ever reads the first paragraph of your profile. It's true! Half the time they contain useless information that like hey this is me, blah blah... and skip immediately to the second paragraph. Sometimes our eyes skip to important words like sex, especially if they are in the first few sentences.

Made you re-read that paragraph by including that word, didn't I?

So here's the deal. I'm new to this entire internet dating thing. I used to use this as a site to take tests and answer questions, without really thinking about using this site for it's true intentions, a dating site. Now, after several profile edits, deletions, and revamps, I am going to attempt to actually contact and meet people for dating.

I really hate describing myself to others, especially in words. I feel that words alone can never do someone justice. There is great beauty beneath each and every person, and it's up to you, the reader, to determine (based on my own self-portrait) if you would get along with me and/or possibly want to meet and date. So, lets begin:

Things I love:

Rain Thunderstorms The ocean Science Writing Music Video Games Pool Poker Texas hold 'em Space Astronomy D&D Killian's Night time Darkness The moon Other planets Discovery Animals People Watching Biology Computers

Overall, I'm a very intelligent, outgoing, fun-loving individual with a sarcastic nature. I love debate and anyone with enough sense of humor to be able to tell when I'm being realistically serious and when I'm being stupidly sarcastic.

When it comes to meeting new people I tend to get interested very quickly in them, but sometimes I find myself loosing interest just as quickly. I blame my ADD.

I tend to keep my friendships for years at a time, but tend to be very selective about who I make friends with and who I am just acquaintances with.

I tend to be very blunt and open with people. I don't like to sugar coat things. When expressing myself, I tend to speak freely, and expect people to do the same to me. I also am a very logical thinker, seeing reason behind just about any action.

What I’m doing with my life

I work full time, and that's really about it. I have a degree in computer systems information technology but I've failed at the opportunities to use it. I plan on going back to school, but for now I work full time to support myself in this ever changing harsh economy.

I recently moved, and things are going okay, but it's getting more and more difficult to deal with my roommate's girlfriend, especially since she wants to move in. With my bluntness, I'm bound to say something I really shouldn't.

I’m really good at

Listening, giving advice, and being sarcastic.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm completely utterly random. It's entirely normal for me to say something so off the wall and unusual that I'm noticed right away by new people. I'll say things you wouldn't even have ever thought of just to see the reaction.
