I'm Eric

I'm a 22-year-old nerd. In my spare time I play video games, watch anime and movies, read manga and comic books, fix things that oft needn't be fixed, and relax; If man-child was an option for gender, I probably would have chosen it. Otherwise, I'm smart, level-headed and funny (all of which are monikers given by others... I'm not that narcissistic).

Currently, I'm working full-time in an Italian specialty market. Just recently I took a semester off from college (where I'm three-quarters of the way complete on a Biology degree) in order to save up some money, repay some loans, and figure out what I ultimately want to do.

I'm not really one to boast, however, I'm good at cooking, fixing/working with computers or anything technical, and I give a hell of a back-rub.

My cane. I have a bad leg and generally need a cane to get around; but as far as canes go, mine is pretty badass.

My favorite authors are probably Poe and F Scott Fitzgerald, as I have a love for short stories and those two are the undisputed American Kings of that genre. I'm also into anime, and yes I do do understand that is a usually a deterrent for women, hell, people in general who are over the age of 12. But I'm being honest, and It's something you'd find out sooner or later. As for music, I like a lot of different genres, but I mostly stick to classic rock and glam rock (I love Queen and David Bowie).

1. My Laptop
2. A place to cook
3. A warm comfy bed
4. My slippers
5. My sense of humor
6. Well, to be fair, food, water, and shelter should at least make an appearance somewhere on this list.

A whole slew of things, I don't dwell too much on anything in particular.

At home, relaxing after work

I already admitted that I'm 22 and watch Japanese cartoons. Oh and I dabble on the Lap Harp... manly, right?

If any of the above hasn't completely scared you away
