I am independent, intelligent, and inapparent.
My Self-Summary
I fancy myself as an independent and eclectic. A renaissance man, I
have a smattering of skills from various disciplines, but have not
mastered many of them). I have many interests.
Gaming is one of them:
Table Top RPGs,
Video Games,
but definitely no LARPing. Well, maybe a little, but only if you
count
Cosplay at
Anime conventions or
Acting at a
Renaissance Faire.
One of my former bosses once said I was a hippie born out of my
time. But that is not true: I eat things that once had faces (I
wish I were a member of PETA (People for Eating Tasty Animals)); I
do not do drugs; and I bathe pretty regularly.
I am pretty sure people think I am aloof and pompous. I know many
things and enjoy sharing it with others.
NOTE: Items contained in opening and closing brackets ("{" and
"}")are additions from my friends.

What I’m doing with my life
I eat and sleep and work {and help out friends with moving,
cleaning and other such thankless tasks}. Helping others is what I
am doing now and I consider it work. it is I am working for some
friends as their nanny. It is pretty fun. The kids have become very
attached.
Those things fill out most of my time. I enjoy
TV,
Movies, Reading,
Comic Books/Graphic Novels/
Manga. I listen to lectures
on
physics and
theoretical mathematics,
as well as
languages in my sleep. I find what I
remember, and the
dreams associated, to be quite
amusing.
As mentioned before, I like
Acting and
Ren Faires and
Anime , but not as much as some people
think.
I have hopes of becoming a
teacher. Specifically an elementary
school teacher. I am glad I finally figured out what I want to do
with my life. Now need to get finances in order to get back to
school.
I have a hobby:
Medieval combat
re-enactment. With real
armor and all that jazz. We dress in armor
and hit each other with rattan
weapons (like wood) in an effort to
recreate medieval
combat as accurately as possible without
actually killing or maiming each other.

I’m really good at
I am good at
mindless number
crunching,
Noticing details and other
repetitive tasks. Drawing conclusions is another thing I excel at,
I have an analytical mind and like to deduce things. I do not
really excel at anything that really comes to mind, aside from
being flexible and adaptive {and sometimes excessively modest}. I
have a plethora of
skills and can do most things if I see a
demonstration. Maybe not extremely well at first, but I gain
proficiencies rather quickly. {I have excellent skill point
bonuses.}
I am good at memorizing stuff. From lines for
Plays to
Useless Minutiae. I like to
memorize stuff.

The first things people usually notice about me
I am a
male with long hair. I am
confident. I am aware of my surroundings, including how others feel
and think about things and the actual physical nature of my
surroundings. I think for myself and will go against the flow, if
the flow is wrong, from my perspective.
{i have a stick of doom and in the wetter weather a huge hat to go
with it.} Well, not that much Doom, but I know how to use it. The
hat is there rain or shine.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I like
Gaming
books. They make up most of my collection.
D&D,
DND,
D20,
Con X,
ConX2.0,
BESM,
Paranoia those are the ones I own. I am
familiar with many other
gaming systems as well.
Other than Gaming books, I like
non-fiction. I love absorbing
information, like a sponge (just please do not squeeze my head in
the hopes that some of it will come out (you get 10 cool points if
you know that reference)). For my fiction books, I tend toward
Science
Fiction,
Science Fantasy,
Fantasy... yeah, that is
about all. Maybe a little suspense, but not the modern stuff, old
stuff. I am not as literate as I should be. I was turned off of
reading by school because of the way they required it (my
dyslexia and the lack of
reading at home probably added to this). I hated creative writing
in school for the same reason, it is not really creative, if they
are telling you exactly what to write... but I digress.
My favourite movies are
comedies and
Sci-Fi.
Fantasy genre movies are right up there
also. Oh and I adore movies from the
1980s. Terrible
B-Movies are super great also.
I listen to a lot of different types of
music. What ever I feel like at the time,
although I tend to avoid nearly all rap and most country. I like
Pretty much all forms of
rock. Acid, progressive, metal, goth;
pretty much any of it. I like
bluegrass and some older country (not
any of that tear in my beer stuff or any of the new stuff that is
pretty much pop music. I like
electronica,
techno,
nerd rap,
trance,
D&B... you get the picture. Oh
and
show tunes.
I love me some show tunes. I remember all of them from the
shows I was in, but
do not have as many on my MP3 player as I would like.
Food, is a lot like
music. I consider myself a
gourmand. Where a glutton enjoys the
act of eating and a gourmet enjoys the act of preparing and a
connoisseur only appreciates the best food, a gourmand enjoys all
aspects of food. There are a few types that I do not like.
Texture is very
important to me when it comes to food. This leads me to not like
mushrooms. I also do not care for fish, the flavour is just not
good to me. This is not to say I will not eat these types of foods
or appreciate the preparation of them. On the contrary, I will
appreciate everything except eating it, but will eat it (you would
be surprised at what you will eat when you are hungry enough).

The six things I could never do without
Knowledge.
Humour. The 4 'S's
(Since they are all together as life's actual necessities, I list
them as one: Sustenance, Shelter, Sleep and Socializing)....
Music (It has always
been around, and now that I have a portable music player again, I
find I am always listening to it)... More to come....
{There was some added content here. A change in the coding on the
site has wiped out that information. I think it was listed that I
needed terrible
puns,
Ren Faire,
Anime,
RPGs (specifying that the GM
should lay off on the over powered Androids and Program non-player
characters) and giving my then roommate a bad time and repeating my
need for horrible puns.}
(actually, I did ok without Ren Faire that one year it did not
happenr, I found other things to do, like
SCA events and other things), (I happen to
enjoy a good
MSTing]]({{MST3K) of
anime or movies), ( I do not have a problem with Androids, some of
my best friends are synthetic, I just like my PCs to be as good as
all of the filler NPCs around them), (My roommate at the time this
was written), (Oh, come on, the puns are not that bad).
Editors
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What to do in
worst case scenarios. I
expect things will go wrong, that keeps this from happening. You
know, changing the outcome of an occurance by observation. Like
looking for an electron or a cat (10 cool points if I do not have
to explain
Schrödinger's cat or
the
Heisenberg
uncertainty principle to you and you do not have to Wiki
it).
I figure the government will become fascist or fall into anarchy,
and I will have to defend myself from the Military or the Masses.
Or there will be an uprising of the
Zed-word or the
Z-word, if you happen to be
American as you likely are (we do not say
Zombie or
Zombi, because it is silly). Or what if I
am attacked by a shark or crocodile or bees (I have a tolerance for
bees, actually, since I was once a
Bee Keeper). Still what if...
{Here there was added content lost due to coding on the site. It
noted my thinking about the next horrible pun i would spring on my
unsuspecting victims.}
(Samuel Clemons once commented that puns were the lowest form of
humor. Well, if I
say so myself, what I lack in quality, I certainly make up for in
quantity.)

On a typical Friday night I am
Might as well make this my entire weekend, eh?
On any free evening, I might go out to the
pub or to a friends house to watch
anime with other friends. I
might happen that I go out to roll
dice. Gaming, not gambling... pen, paper,
dice and story.
Sunday during the day is
Fight practice.
On the weekends, I might work with friends of mind on
film or other projects. Or
perhaps go on a
downtown adventure or to a
cemetery,
forest or
beach for taking
pictures(
photography).
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Well, lets see. I suppose I will wait to see what people ask. Yes,
it will be a fun game. Ask me your questions, I will let you know
if it is more than I am willing to share. I will put the Questions
people ask me and the answers I am willing to share in this box.
You should message me if
You want to, I guess. I mean, what am I going to say here that will
change your mind one way or the other. You have already read this
far, and likely looked at my pictures and
test results... so there you have
it. This is me, as well as these feeble words can represent me. If
you have gotten this far, you might as well say hello. The worst
that could happen is that I do not respond or make fun of you. See
not that bad.
But until you open the box, you will not know if I am dead or
alive.
