This was a kind of outdated so here I am again, getting everything current. I am have been living in Austin for about a year and a half. I work for a software company doing tech support. Good job, good pay, great benefits, but boring as hell most of the time. I spent most of my day reading random news articles or watching videos online. One benefit to the boredom is that I get time to work on my homework.

Just started school again this month working towards a Surgery Tech degree. I already have about 50 credit hours behind me but they are mostly worthless since I changed majors.

I enjoy spending time with friends, reading, hanging out, just about anything that is not too crazy or involves hundreds of people(not really a people person). Over the last year I have enjoyed talking to people much more often than I used to. I guess you could say that I am getting better at "small talk" with people who I don't know.

I have two kids, a son and a daughter, who do not live with me - long story, ask if you want to know.

Mainly working and just living life. Starting school, should be done in about 2 years. Guess that's what I get for slacking off when I was younger. I work full time and get bored at home quite often but I don't really enjoy going out all the time like I used to. It is fun once in a while, but its just too tiring and expensive to do on a regular basis. Not to mention that my roommate never wants to go out, so finding people to get out and about would be great.

Anything that involves logic. Listening to and reading people. Learning comes very easy to me. Decent with computers and technology. My brothers got art and music, I got common sense.

I am typically very quiet at first, not because I am shy but because I like to get a feel for people and decide if I want to have anything to do with them. It is amazing what you can learn about someone in just a few minutes of watching and listening. I can enjoy a conversation with just about anyone. I am comfortable in most settings. It can take some time for me to open up to new people but once I do I will trust them until they give me reason not to.

Books: Anything by Tom Clancy or R.A. Salvatore. I also enjoy psychology and medical related works. I have been reading Robert Jordan over the last couple months as well.

Movies: Those are all over the place; action, comedy, some drama, very little horror but it can be ok.

Music: Again, just about everything. Favorites are rock, punk, metal, and some electronic. Can deal with some rap and country(especially older stuff). As for bands: Fair to Midland, Fightstar, Pendulum, Foo Fighters, Strung Out, Dieselboy, and the list goes on... Recently been listening to the Devin Townsend Project.

Food: Japanese and Chinese are my favorite, with Mexican close behind. I am always up for trying new food. As long as it is not shellfish, I am allergic so it would probably kill me.

TV: House, Lie to Me, Scrubs, Horns football, UFC, Criminal Minds, just about any Soccer or Tennis, the first 5 minutes of all of the horrible Sci-Fi channel made-for-tv movies(the level of ridiculousness on those movies is amazing).

Computer, cell phone, friends, days off, conversation, and... cheese?

Ways to distract myself from the stress of work and the drama of life. Pondering random worthless crap is fun too. I like figuring out how things work; mainly electronics and especially people.

Not doing much. I have class on Saturday morning so I don't stay out too late. Most of my friends all work together elsewhere so they do their work get-together things on Fridays. When I do get out, it is usually to a dive bar or pool hall. I have never enjoyed clubs or yuppie bars. I am always down for a good show or event.

I have trouble opening up to people but I am working on it. I also have a Polly Pocket on my desk at work; she is my work mascot, keeps me in line. I have a Yoshi and a rubber pig on my desk now too, the mascots are multiplying.

You have some common interests or if you think we would get along.
