Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

People tell me I'm hard to read. It's not intentional.

However, I am very passionate about lots of things. Name a topic and it's pretty much a given that my opinion falls to the far left. I'm a vegetarian and agnostic, though I do not lecture people who aren't. But a little friendly debate/discussion can be fun if both parties are prepared for it.

I'm a writer. Stories are my passion, both telling and being told. I don't know much about expression or emotion or art or sports or music or physics. I let other people deal with those things. I only care about stuff that never happened.

I'm obsessed with horror movies/books/whatever. I guess I sometimes wish for a zombie apocalypse, just to break the monotony of life in the real world. According to the tests here, I'd probably do okay. Hole up in a Wal-Mart, raid the sporting goods for weapons, the pharmacy for medicine. I haven't put much thought into it, really.

I'm very comfortable by myself, and I'm not the type of person who constantly feels the need to be in a relationship. I'd much rather be alone than settle for someone that I'm not crazy about.

And I never want to be in a relationship that can be distilled into a stand-up comic's joke. Every comic has a bit where they're like "Women always do this: _______. Am I right, guys?" *guys laugh/cheer* "But girls, you know men always do this: ________." *girls laugh/cheer* Are people that predictable and interchangable? You don't know me, Dane Cook!

I see my life as a story. I'm waiting for the huge plot twist, but I usually see them coming. Do you?

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I've been getting into activism, but not as much as I want to be eventually. I want to get into civil rights, animal rights, LGBT stuff, the environment, and other typical ACLU liberal agenda stuff. Bill O'Reilly fears me, as do the old kooks who protest outside the abortion clinic by my house.

In my spare time, I'm writing stories, learning to play my bass, hitting the town with friends, singing terribly at karaoke, etc etc.

I have a crappy job, but I make enough money to live alone, eat, go out when I want, and manage to save a little bit. But I don't really buy things. I hope to improve the situation at some point. But for the moment, I'm doing the whole seat-of-my-pants, no frills, starving writer thing. And I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

I'm also running a long-term experiment on the effects of sleep deprivation on the human psyche. I've titled it "My Life". I hate sleeping. It's such a waste of time. I was awake for almost 100 hours once, without the use of any drugs. It was pretty intense.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Debating things.
Swearing without swearwords (Go fold yourself, you son of a mom!).
Functioning on little to no sleep.
Fixing your A/V woes.
Knowing useless pop culture trivia. Seriously, no one can beat me at Trivial Pursuit. People don't even like playing me anymore.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My blue glasses or my hair that defies any sort of styling product. I've pretty much stopped trying and just let it do what it wants.

Slippers
Soap
Strongbow on tap

My pocket notebook where I jot down all my story ideas

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Why I keep finding dead bees in my apartment, even with the windows closed. I think they're squirming in from another dimension, but can't survive the transition. I'm afraid to meet the queen. She may be heartier...

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

singing karaoke in Riverwest.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I've been told I'm a good kisser by both men and women.

I sometimes feel like I'm the single stable rock in a world of hyper-emotional people who are all an inch away from the breaking point.
