I am relaxed, bearded, and content.
My Self-Summary
Like many folks, I'm not big on the "writing about myself" thing
(although I find myself opening up more the longer I'm
registered... not sure what that means), so forgive the brevity of
most of my responses. I'm a gradumated (Computer Engineering, minor
in Philosophy) layabout that's content to either hang out or go
places/do things. I enjoy games (video, board, card, word), frisbee
and other screw-around sports, raging against the establishment,
and... well, I typically enjoy most things, really.
What I’m doing with my life
I gradumumated from
Iowa State, and I'm now working as a
programmer at a lab there. It's like I'm still going to college,
except I don't have classes!
I’m really good at
Music/rhythm games, N64
Smash Bros., other things?
The first things people usually notice about me
The beard. At least I keep it trim, unlike the many beard-abusers
you see these days.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
a) All right, I'll admit it. I haven't read a "book"-book in a long
time. I've read America: The Book, and Lies and the Lying Liars Who
Tell Them, and some other liberal claptrap I'm probably forgetting,
but other than that, most of my reading since high school has come
from the Internet and the occasional newspaper. Back in my reading
days, though, I enjoyed the Ender's Game trilogy (YES, trilogy...
the series stopped after book 3, no matter how many sequels are
released). As well as other random books I picked up. I should get
back into reading, not really sure why I stopped. I used to be
somewhat of a bookworm.
b) "Super Troopers", "Borat", "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and
Spring", "Office Space", "The Big Lebowski", and the other
standbys. More of a TV guy.
c) Air, Thievery Corporation, dZihan & Kamien, Bowie,
Dragonforce. Varies frequently.
d) Spicy things, burgers, meat products in general.
The six things I could never do without
Glasses, computer, Internet connection,
frisbee on a nice day, video games, and
people to enjoy the previous two with.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How many more dudes than chicks there are on this site. I learned
that being female and having no pictures nets you tons of random
IMs and woos from random dudes. Even though I contact ladies with
extreme prejudice, it makes me feel like one of THOSE guys when I
do, you know?
On a typical Friday night I am
At Welch Ave. (the only worthwhile bar in Ames), having a drink
and/or playing Silver Strike.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I... I watch anime sometimes. And I have some anime posters. But
they're not on my walls, I swear! I also have a Deus Ex poster,
which is also not on my wall. I should put that up, because Deus Ex
is awesome.
Also! I put brackets around things in my profile (to make them link
to other things) solely because OKCupid told me to. I seem to be
very open to suggestion?
You should message me if
You're enthusiastic about beards, or you feel like geeking out
about something.
