I am somewhat-funny, somewhat-sarcastic, and too-fond-of-hyphens.
My Self-Summary
Nondescript human male, of chinese ethnicity, somewhat confused
about cultural identity and altogether too fond of making long
rambling sentences that don't finish anywhere near the point they
started out to make.
Generally rather easy-going and desperate not to offend anyone,
though I can be surprisingly mean, as can be attested by the people
I have inadvertently brought to tears through thoughtlessly hurtful
remarks like "that shirt that says 'I am fat' makes you look fat"
or "why are you upset that someone who never knew you doesn't love
you?"
Do not believe that self-descriptions are worth much in a world
where shows like American Idol can exist and books like "The
Secret" are best-sellers.
What I’m doing with my life
I work as a programmer (and not a very good one, at that), because
my degree in Computational Physics left me pretty-much unemployable
as anything else.
I spend most of my free time moaning about the boredom and tedium
of programmer, although I secretly quite like the work because I am
secretly rather boring and tedious.
I like to travel, because nothing fills the empty void that is my
life more than nervousness about being robbed and killed in a
foreign country.
I’m really good at
Avoiding questions like these.
The first things people usually notice about me
Nothing. People notice nothing about me and forget me quite
quickly. I am about as average-looking as humanly possible. People
have actually told me this to my face, as if it was a compliment.
For a period in my life, this pleased me, because I had vague
fantasies of becoming a spy, until I realized that I wouldn't pass
the entrance exams because of this trait.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Reviews and summaries of books I think I should
read--SparkNotes.
Movies: Only movie I can really say I loved was "Wit", starring
Emma Thompson, because it showed an emo kid slowly dying.
Music: Depends on mood. Have in inordinate love for The Pillows,
partly because I can't understand Japanese, which makes me think
half their songs must be deep poetic shit whilst the Engrish in the
other half remind me of reality.
Food: I like well-prepared Japanese food, but mostly just to look
at because it's usually very pretty. Taste-wise I much prefer
sticks of butter on any kind of condiment-accompaniment.
The six things I could never do without
The sun, earth, air, gravity, pi, gravity, the weak and strong
electromagnetic forces, quarks, ... but ironically I live quite
happily without a Theory of Everything.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How to escape a lifetime filled with my mother and cats.
Whether my fly is undone (which it is too many times for comfort)
and how to check without everyone else realizing that I am checking
to see if my fly is undone.
Whether or not there is any point in feeling existentialist
angst.
How painful it is to walk into lampposts whilst thinking about
existentialist angst.
How walking-into-lamppost-pain is really much more painful than
existentialist angst no matter what all the emo kids say.
On a typical Friday night I am
Watching pornography and surfing the interwebs. Occupational
hazard--I spend a lot of time on computers.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm suck dicks.
You should message me if
You are not a brain-eating zombie.
Not be be rascist or anything, but zombies suck. And not in the
good way.
Oh, and if you don't take things too seriously.
