CAUTION: This profile is really fucking long. Get a cup of tea and clear your schedule for the next thirty minutes. Seriously. It's like a book. Even this warning is long. It's like one of the DVD messages that plays before the title and tells you not to steal, and then says it all over again in French. I could probably make a full length feature film of just me reading this profile. Although I guess I would have me played by Christopher Lloyd. Or mebbe Leonard Nimoy. Those guys have cool voices.

Hi. My name is Peet. Pleased to meet you. I have a strong affinity to adventure and randomness, and my biggest dislike is limiters. I'm big on things like freedom and reason and the uniqueness of every situation. I tend to live a fine line between seriousness and silliness. Pretty much everything that comes out of my mouth is either sincere or sarcastic. It has been a challenge to me to find the right balance. I think life is exponentially more interesting with other people around. My second favorite thing to do is screwing around while I'm out doing importantish stuff. My favorite thing to do is make out. I make for good conversation but am terrible at starting one. Or ending one for that matter. I suppose other people would describe me as a geek, or a gamer, or some kind of modern day Don Juan, but in practice I defy all such conventions.

Upon review of the completion of this profile, I actually come off as being way more creative than I am, which is not to say I am not creative. It just isn't as readily apparent. Also, for some reason all my matches seem to be bisexual. A friend of mine has suggested that I would naturally attract the type of person who would be open minded. Another thought it was just trendy to be bi nowadays.

I have a terrible, terrible habit of messaging people with exactly what they say not to message. It is solely for my personal amusement and I am very, very shamed of myself. Really.

Right now I am at a point where I can afford to take all the time I need to decide what the next step is. I am enrolled at Sinclair and am taking 19 credit hours worth of personal interest courses. Monday through Thursday, I get up, make breakfast, bike to school, and have a crazy great time learning all about swimming, weightlifting, operating systems, sculpture, and automobiles. On weekends it gets even better! I sweep, clean the bathroom, go grocery shopping, sit around, and wish that I had somebody interesting to hang out with. Oh wait. That's not better. That's much, much worse! I need to get out of this apartment! If only there were some way to look for cool people like me who look for cool people like me... (For the last half of that paragraph I was sounding like Strong Bad in my head.)

Sarcasm. No really. I swear. Oh, and I swear too. A lot. But I'm not really good at swearing, now that I think about it. I suppose I am really good a thinking about things. I think. But I swear I think I'm really good at the sarcasm.

I find that I am able to take to things at a rapid pace. Once I understand the underlying concept, most activities become a matter of practice.

A semi-complete list of skills and favored activities would include: Making pizzas, Fixing cars, Using technology, Deep thought, Making out, Asinine humor, Playing games, Driving, Construction, Entertaining myself, Standardized tests, Camping.

My hair. Or more accurately now, my lack of hair. Or my eyes when I'm not wearing glasses. Actually it's more like my friends notice when I'm not wearing my glasses. People also tend to notice whether or not I'm on fire. Well, maybe just when I am on fire. Of course, I usually notice when someone else is on fire as well, so mebbe that's not so much of a "me" centric thing. I've been told I "look" tall. My brash personality and boisterous mannerisms perhaps? Apparently I smell good.

If anyone accuses me of thinking only of physical appearance, I must say that I usually meet people in real life, and in real life, 85% of the time you see a person before you can directly experience anything else about them. So, unless you are relying on the observational skills of others and their ability to communicate their ideas to you (which in my experience has always been, "Yeah, she's cool" with mebbe a "dude" or two thrown in), for the context of this question we're sticking to the physical. So, enough about that. On to the next part!

This section always seemed to me to be the part where you come up with things that no one has ever heard of so that you can either (1)feel superior for your l337 avant-garde bohemian underground indy multimedia skillz or (2)finally find someone who can understand what the freak you are talking about.

I haven't read anything much lately, although I almost drove my mother bankrupt by having her buy me all the Star Wars Expanded Universe books when I was a kid. (As a side note, apparently only two other people on OkCupid like the Star Wars Expanded Universe. I could be starting a love triangle. Mebbe I should de-link it. UPDATE: It has come to my attention that there are now 5 people who list it as an interest, none of which are the original two. The only logical conclusion is they engaged in a whirlwind romance and are now married with nine kids. As they have found the greatest love of all times, they are no longer in need of their profiles, and as such have deleted them. Also, I think I have spent enough time on this asinine tangent. Moving on.) UPDATE UPDATE: Now there's. like, 75 people and 7 quizzes. This is getting absurd.

The last book I read was Max Tucker's I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. That was an amusing read. I suppose graphic novels count nowadays.Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta, Sandman. I remember when reading comic books wasn't cool. Get off my lawn! I also enjoy manga. Just popular shōnen, though. Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Psyren and Liar Game as well.

I mostly watch what's up on the pirate bay top 100 movies, as, for better or worse, modern film as a whole is good for viewing the popular culture zeitgeist. In other words, a few hours every week is enough to put up with in order to never again have answer, "No, I don't watch movies." to everyone who asks, "Dude! Did you see foo Movie 2???/? It was freakin sweet!!11!!" as they proceed to foam at the mouth.

There's no TV section, but that's ok, because I can make my own. I do not have broadcast or cable television in my home. I haven't for a long time. The style of series I do enjoy are along the lines of Mythbusters, Dexter, Heroes, and Adult Swim. I just watched through all of Firefly last week.

I find music from my friends, the radio, or billboard top whatever. And then I look it up on the internet. And if I like it, I pirate it. yar. I refuse to adhere to genres. The last three songs I added were by MIKA, Junior Senior, and Electric Light Orchestra. The most interesting song I have heard in a long time is Do you wanna cuz it's Tricky my Sharona by Thriftshop XL. I also am playing through the Guitar Hero series, so I'm picking up a lot of those songs too. Pandora.com is fun as well.

I learned to cook for myself through several wonderful ladies who were kind enough to divulge their secrets to me, although I still like to go out for anything new and interesting. That being said, I used to get a taco salad from Wendy's on my way to work everyday. I would have to say that my favorite style and ingredients are Lebanese, with Greek coming in a close second. I also can eat more than anyone else I know. That's a little fun fact for ya. Pretty much the only things I eat nowadays are raisin bran, bananas, and turkey wraps with fresh cilantro.

In addition, I have decided to add a section on teh internets, as it is SERIOUS BUSINESS. I read Slashdot, Digg, and Fark for news. I used to read about twenty webcomics, but now I stick to VG Cats, xkcd, Goblins, and Penny Arcade. I also enjoy playing the Wikipedia game.

Also also, I have decided to add another media section on the topic of games. The games I currently play on a regular basis are the Guitar Hero/Rock Band series and World of Warcraft on the server Smolderthorne. My favorite games would be Fallout, System Shock, Civilization, Deus Ex, Red Alert, any of the old Black Isle D&D games, any of the SNES RPGs, and pretty much anything multiplayer. Yes, I ascribe to the idea of games as art. I also very much enjoy non-video games, like as board games, sports, or role playing games. I suppose above all I enjoy participation with other people. Also, I just 'finished' Fallout 3 and have decided that it's a mixed bag of excellence, good story, poor story, bugs, and 'Why can't I do that instead?'. Pretty much like all the other ones in the series.

In no particular order...

1 is for the 1nternet, the lens through which I see.

2 is for |2andomeness, I must have entropy.

3 is for <3, my friends and family.

4 is for 4dventure, out there's the life for me.

5 is for 5omething to do when I am bored, like rhyming for no particular reason. (I'm stopping by the way.)

6 is for 6, but replacing the i for an e(ye). (That was kinda like a riddle. I'm so smrat. ^-^)

Our place in the universe. And pie. I like pie.

That was a non sequitur. I actually spend most of my thinking on how to amuse myself and others. It's a little misanthropic, but we're gonna be here a while and it helps to pass the time. As such I constantly feel the need to share my random musings with everybody around me. I would just hate for them to miss out on a little humor.

Apparently I am on OkCupid editing my profile. ¬_¬ I think this question is under the assumption that people have fun on Friday. I have fun on Saturday. On Saturday I'm out drinking with my friends, playing poker if it's the first Saturday, or, if I'm lucky, out for some other random adventure. And by random adventure, I mean going to a bar, seeing a bunch of people climbing into a van, and then climbing in myself, not knowing exactly who these people are nor where we are going. Now that was adventure. I am always (read ALWAYS) up for random adventure, so never hesitate to inform me of some ill advised idea for strange trips to strange places with strange people.

See, I think that this part isn't about what you think is private. I think this is the section where you say something that other people find private, but you have no such notions. The very core of secrecy is the nonproliferation of some fact or idea. If you are willing to admit it, it isn't private to you. As such, I am unable to answer, as anything I would answer is not private, and anything that is private, I would not admit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to avoid the question. It's just that in my experience people and I usually have differing opinions on what is and what is not private, and I have found most things people think are my secrets are just things I didn't think were interesting enough to other people to share.

Ummm... I like the sex?

you find me in any way more interesting than anyone else you've ever messaged. Or massaged. In fact if you're interested in massaging me, you should message me right away. My massage message may make many memorable moments.

You should especially message me if any of the following apply: You like Mario Kart. You have eyes of unusual or multiple colors. It's Valentine's Day and you are reading this. You know what Reiman sums are. You have ideas for random adventure. You have actually met me in real life. You have a habit of challenging people to silly contests. You have upon making a mistake ever thought "Edit -> Undo". You attend any of the same classes as I. You own a castle. You actually were able to follow my train of thought throughout this page. It would also help if you kept your manners. You'd think I was interested in 16 year old boys from some of the messages I've gotten.

You should probably not message me if you include in daily lifestyle decisions ideas such as magic, ghosts, aliens, karma, theism, spirituality, or fate. I prefer to spend my time with people who know the difference between fantasy and reality and who choose to separate them. This is mostly to protect you, as I am not the most diplomatic when communicating with individuals who have no evidence to support their extraordinary claims. Case in point, I rewrote that last sentence six times before I was able to refrain from using demeaning terminology.

If you've gotten this far, then it would be a waste of your valuable time not to at least drop me a "ur profiles cool" message. I concur that the internet is in no way a perfect replacement for interpersonal communications, but unless you have a solid reason for not messaging me (or massaging me, as the case may be), the few seconds saved by not doing so would pale in comparison to the few minutes taken to get this far. My screen name on pretty much everything is peetsnack.

Also also, if you live in Dayton, drop me a line. I am always looking for new friends. Most of mine are two hours north. That is, unless you cheated and skipped to the bottom. Then you fail the course and get put on academic probation.
