I am right, wrong, and pretty together.

My Self-Summary

This year has been an exciting ride. What makes an exciting ride is the really scary part at the beginning - all that anticipation and possibility for catastrophe - the rush of the ride itself, and getting off (the ride) in one piece. And then immediately getting back on because the ride ROCKED!

I've been through an amazing period of self-discovery and I'm ready to try out these skills that I've gained in this v. 2.0 of myself. 2.0 has all the benefits of 1.0, but we've worked out most of the bugs. This version also has an increased functionality and is far more stable than previous releases. Chief among the new features is an intuitive interface.

OK. I'm a geek. Which is different from being a nerd, but that's a discussion for another time. (UPDATE: This classification of myself has been confirmed by a test. So it must be true.)

What I’m doing with my life

Working on my acting career which actually seems to be gaining momentum.
Tending bar (to subsidize said acting career).
Learning lines. (help!)
Watching movies.
Reading books.
Spending too much time online.
Taking care of my cat.
Taking care of myself.
Jonesing to be able to get back to yoga (hurt my wrist last summer - no downward facing dog for me).

I’m really good at

I'm a really good actor.
I'm really good with my Crock Pot.
I make the best damn mac and cheese. Ever.
Movie trivia - I'm only allowed to play "Scene It" with my family if I play against everyone else.
I'm really good with animals and children which, of course, goes counter to W.C. Fields dictum against working with those creatures.
Listening.
Kissing.
Hugging.

The first things people usually notice about me

My eyes.
My laugh, which is not terribly subtle.
That I'm a "good guy", a notion I've been trying to dissuade people of for years to no avail. Always wanted to be the bad boy, but just couldn't carry it off. Doesn't mean I'm not twisted in my own way. Really. Oh, never mind.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Look, my tastes are eclectic.
Movies: Everything from the oeuvres George A. Romero to Frederico Fellini. Wings of Desire is my favorite movie of all time and I'm so psyched for the Criterion Bluray edition of the flick.
Books: Everything from Tolkien and Stephen King to Murakami and Carver. And a hell of a lot in between. I'm never go anywhere without a book. I'm currently lugging around copies of Timon of Athens, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, and The Bourne Supremacy. Dig it?
Music: I like a lot of stuff, but I'm a complete idiot where music is concerned, especially if it came out after the 80's. Doesn't mean I don't like stuff that's come out since, I just couldn't name an artist or band that I particularly like. Except Tom Waits. I want to be him when I grow up.
Food: Yes. Except eggplant. And even that I'm beginning to enjoy.

The six things I could never do without

In no particular order:
My books.
My movies.
My cat.
Acting.
My friends.
My family.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

My career.
My friends and family.
How I can continue to grow.
What I'm going to make for dinner.

On a typical Friday night I am

Is there such a thing?

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I sobbed uncontrollably at the end of Peter Jackson's King Kong. Actually, I cry a lot at movies.

You should message me if

You're looking for a partner, in the truest sense. In other words, you're someone who's independent and wants to share somebody's life and share your life with somebody else.
You're a grown up who hasn't lost that bit of childhood that allows them to know wonder and to play.
You're a goofball and deadly serious.
You have a twisted sense of humor.
You have a sense of humor.
You love words and movies (good and bad ones).
You aren't afraid of dating someone who leads an unconventional life.
You're as willing to take the time to know me as I am to know you.
You're comfortable in your own skin.
You're proud of your accomplishments but not resting on your laurels.
Et cetera.
Look, I'm not looking for perfection. I don't believe it exists. We all have our baggage. I know I do. Just be working it out and not frightened of it.
