My life is a Ben Folds Five song.

I thought about the army, my dad said 'Son, you're fucking high.'

I had two sad years of college, and it really was almost fifteen grand. That I am now paying back. I dropped out, but never did get to join a band instead. Nor did I grow a mullet or a mustache. A goatee, yeah. But never the 'stache.

Let's see... Sometimes I worry there may not be anything at all inside. Then I open it up and find the creamy nougat.

Sometimes I do feel like a quote out of context.

My life is the Ben Folds Five library. All of it. The highs, the lows, the zany stuff, the incredibly depressing snippets. I am a study in many different things. I've lived them all. And i'm only twenty six.

I work Monday through Friday. After work, it depends. Some days, I hang out with my friends. Others I sit in front of this idiot box. I read, I listen to music, I talk to people.

So, really, the appropriate answer is 'Nothing of substance.' That said, I still have my life goal of law school and beyond, but given some mistakes in my younger days, it's not as close as i'd hoped it to be by now. This is life, and all one can do is adapt and enjoy the ride as you can.

Dancing like a maniac. Seriously, I shred reality with my mad skills. That is to say, I suck.

Really, I have a decent singing voice, and I'm pretty decent at science. I also make awesome cookies. Awesome.

That I am big and scary. Or that with a horned helmet and an axe, I'd look like a dwarf. Only taller.

Books: I will read anything I get my hands on. Fiction to nonfiction, short stories and essays to epic sagas of struggle. I've been reading a lot of cosmology books lately, debating the truth or falsehood of the Big Bang Theory. Really, really interesting stuff.

Movies: I like action flicks and absurd comedies with a smattering of horror in there. My favorite movie that I can never pass up if it's on TV is Die Hard. Bruce Willis is my hero. I also really dug the LotR movies, Star Wars is essential, and I really liked The Devil's Advocate. I'll watch almost anything once.

Music: My favorite band of all time is Nine Inch Nails. I found them in my teen rage period, and Mister Reznor has grown with me to Grown Up Fury. I like a lot of heavy stuff, Rammstein, In Flames. I like electronic music too, like VNV Nation and Assemblage 23. I've gotten into the Smashing Pumpkins a lot lately, too. Honestly, as long as it's not new contry music, i'll probably like it. From concertos and operas to hip-hop and indie rock. There's very little that doesn't please my ear.

I hate this question, because it makes me choose. My friends are on this, as is my dog. He's my buddy. Assuming my survival needs are met, this leaves frivolous things. Like music, and entertainment and BOOKS. I'd kill people without books. The last thing, probably, would be this idiot box called a PC. It's a link to the outside world!

The sorry state of the world and how my army of killer robots could make it right, only to have a creation of my nemesis stop them one by one and take their weapons. Then he'd come after me, but I'd escape for the sequel.

Otherwise, I get infuriated at politicians, irritated at celebrities, and disgusted by the actions of my fellow human beings for the most part.

Otherwise, I'm trying to exorcise the damn songs that get stuck in my head. I mean, seriously, when you have the Electric Six's "Gay Bar" lodged in your head for THREE DAYS, you have a problem.

Usually, I'm out wrecking up the place. If not, I'm sitting at home, selling my soul to the internet.

My soul's pretty cheap, though. Ask for special black magic rates!

I like girls and stuff. I also have a fondness for bad, bad music. So bad, it's funny!

You want to. Seriously, I don't bite. I'm probably loafing around bored anyway, so why not entertain us both by sending me a message that I will reply to? And I will reply to everyone who messages me. I hate sending messages and not getting a reply, so I won't do that. If you message me, I will at least say 'Hello' back.

Bonus: If you know what Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is, I likely will ask you to marry me on the spot. Forewarned is forearmed. or something.

I have discovered that the built in IMs suck a lot. I am on AIM all the time. Hit me there. MaximumPontifex
