I moved to Sacramento back in 2001 from
Orland, a small town near Chico. How
small? My graduating highschool class was 126 people. I grew up on
a sheep ranch and except for cow-tipping there wasn't much to do.
And if you don't know what that is, ask me and I'll tell you (and
for those of you that do know, no I actually never did cow
tip).
Since there wasn't really much to do, I got into
video games at a young age. I
think I've played and beaten almost every RPG made for the
Playstation. Yes...I'm a dork...Right now I've been playing Final
Fantasy XI, an online
RPG.
I like spending time reading books, usually
sci-fi and fantasy, and I enjoy writing
stories, usually along those lines as well. I don't watch much TV.
There never seems to be anything on worth watching. I can't stand
these so-called "reality" shows that seem to be so popular
now-a-days. But I do like catching reruns of Futurama and Family
Guy.
I enjoy watching Japanese animation (
Anime). My collection is growing rapidly
and includes the full Robotech series, Wicked City, The Record of
Lodoss War, several gay series (Fake, Blaze of Mirage, Descendants
of Darkness, Earthian) and several others.
I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. And for whatever reason, the
fact I don't drink seems to really disturb some people and I've
never really been able to figure out why. It's a personal choice
and, no, I was not abused by an abusive alcoholic in my family. For
whatever reason, a lot of people just assume this is the case when
I tell them I don't drink.
I consider myself an
athiest. I was raised Baptist, but
quickly became disillusioned with the whole concept. Personally I
don't care what religion you are. A person's spirituality is very
important to them. What I don't approve of is trying to force your
religion or beliefs on someone else.
That being said, it's only fair to say that a lot of people I've
met find it hard to get along with me... I'm very independent and
while I can't say I'm a loner, I do enjoy my own personal alone
time.
Also some people have a problem understanding that usually I don't
care for extended phone conversations. I like having conversations,
but I prefer them to be in person. For reasons I don't even know, I
just can't stay focused being social over the phone. It's never
anything personal, although people tend to take it that way.
So what else should you know about me? I don't like dancing...I
swear I have two left feet and I know I have no rhythm. Definitely
not into the bar or club scene. I can occasionally be dragged there
by a friend (usually once a year). But personally I find the
experience too loud and crowded. I prefer a quiet coffee shop
setting chatting face to face with another person. I'm definitely a
one-on-one person.
Right now it doesn't feel like I'm doing much. Ha ha. I work
full-time, spend time with friends, read, watch TV...the basics.
Video gaming...yeah, I play too many video games...
My eyes.
I read ALOT...I'll just go by authors...Sara Douglas, Alan Dean
Foster, RA Salvatore, Chris Rice, Michael Thomas Ford.
I like pretty much all food, though I don't care for really spicy
things.
Music : Pop, Savage Garden, Aqua, Cher, Leanne Rimes, Avril, Shania
Twain, Darren Hayes, Samantha Mumba, Kelly Clarkson, Tarja Turunen

I try not to think too much...hurts my head. :-P
Usually about once a month on Friday I head off to visit my family
for the weekend. Otherwise I'm relaxing at home or going out with
friends...but usually relaxing at home. Ha ha
I sleep naked.
...you think I'm cute and it looks like we match. :-)
