Self-analysis is not my strong suit, but I have been described in the past as funny, smart, and anything but usual. I'm from Colorado originally, and I imagine I will always have a bit of a western attitude. I am mystified by the fact that seemingly everyone in this town is in a perpetual rush, yet no one is ever on time for anything.

I love laughing and making people laugh. I'd say my sense of humor can be alternately goofy, dry, dark, or sarcastic, depending on my mood (usually sarcastic).

A few other things I like: hilariously bad movies, discovering cool stuff before anyone else, music video games (Rock Band, woo!), the feeling I get after a good workout (I've really come to enjoy running), figuring out a tricky problem, exploring.

A few things I'm not such a fan of: Reality TV, mustard, humidity, bad drivers.

I'm a software engineer developing and maintaining software for a couple government agencies. It can provide some interesting challenges.

Trivia. Logic games (sudoku, for example). Doing math in my head. Making my friends laugh. Finding the humor in almost any situation. Purchasing the right gift (sometimes). Punctuality. Cooking, for an amateur.

I read quite a bit, probably 1-2 books a month on average. There's no particular genre that I remain exclusive to. If I had to choose a favorite I would pick adventure classics, such as The Three Musketeers. I recently read Pride and Prejudice for the first time and really enjoyed it. Does that mean I have to turn in my man card?

I'm also a bit of a movie buff. I have more DVDs than I know what to do with anymore (I may have a problem). My favorite movies usually tend to be a bit quirky. I also really love cheesy, ridiculous b-movies. Unintentional humor may be the best humor.

For music, I'm not really good at naming genres and such so I'll just say my favorite bands I've discovered in the last year have been Queens of the Stone Age and Social Distortion. As you can see, I am literally decades behind the curve on discovering new music.

If I admitted something here, then it wouldn't be private anymore, would it?

What I am looking for, ultimately, is a real connection, but I don't think that is necessarily something that will come about in an instant. I'm more than willing to just have some fun and see where things lead. I like women who are smart, independent, and have a good sense of humor. So if this sounds like you, please do send me a message.
