I am passionate, curious, and stubborn.
My Self-Summary
I'm Mike. Yeah I'm a
nerd. I have my own website:
unquietwiki.com. I live with
Darkbard and a few other
people that can be called
techies,
geeks, and
gamers. There's usually a
LAN party every month
people come to, else we chill and enjoy our unusual family/communal
life.
I've been on OKC since early 2004. I met
aboyandhisrobot and became friends:
he also worked with me for two years. A good chunk of my dates and
friends have come from here.
Personally, I'm searching for enlightenment in a messed up world.
More
liberal than
most
Democrats.
An
atheist that
identifies with good behavior and despises people that control
others with fear. I act with the principal that "nothing goes as
planned," and that things seem to happen as they need to or can.
Life has been pretty random for me.
I'm always looking for people to talk to: do not hesitate to chat
me up sometime.

What I’m doing with my life
*Been courting
mathy_goodness of late. :)
*
System
administrator for a rental car company: schedule works out
okay, but I get calls when things break.
* Taking
pictures
of random things: I've been fortunate to see a good chunk of the
U.S. and hopefully I'll get to see more.
* I'm a knowledge freak: this means gobs of time on news websites
and
Wikipedia
(my household name is "Wiki"). I also like to read "brainy stuff"
when I can.
* Trying to support my friends and family, online or otherwise.

Problem
solving,

The six things I could never do without
Food, cleanliness, books, a computer, a good place to sleep, and
something to keep me in a good mood.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How to make things run better, faster, or more efficiently.
On a typical Friday night I am
Working, finding weird crap online,
gaming, or relaxing with the housemates.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My relationships tend to be shorter than I'd like them to be, so
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Bad, because it
makes me look like a player. Good, because it just means I haven't
either found the right person, or maybe I'm an "anti-player." I
dunno.

You should message me if
You get some of the jokes from
xkcd, or would buy anything off of
Thinkgeek.
