I am lackadaisical, machiavellian, and perspicacious.
My Self-Summary
I'm an
introvert. That means that by my
nature, I tend to entertain myself rather than seeking the company
of others. Sometimes I do want to meet other people, and that's why
I'm here. Being an introvert doesn't mean I don't like company, it
just means that I need time to recharge between social
periods.
I like gaming, with cards,
board games,
video games, whatever. I enjoy the
social aspect of it as much as the actual game play. Lately I've
been playing a lot less board games than I did before, as my work
schedule has was in the way, but I have since gone on day shift and
I hope to play them more. At the moment I spend a lot of time
languishing at home playing
World of Warcraft,
Guitar Hero or various
other video games.
I moved to the portland area 5 years ago or so, and while I have
met a few people, they're all really just
board gaming or
LAN party friends or work
friends, not the kind of people you call up just to hang out with
or whatever. So mostly I just spend my time at home.
What I’m doing with my life
Spending 40-50 hours a week at work, and the rest at home. I don't
really feel an urge to go out places at the moment. If someone else
urged me I might go...
I’m really good at
You know how most people briefly jump or scream or whatever when
someone sneaks up behind them and surprises them?
I'm really good at doing absolutely nothing when that happens. Ice
cube down the back of my shirt... nothing. Alone at home and my
roommate sneaks in and comes into my room and shouts "boo!"...
nothing. Surprise tickle in the dark... nothing. At work, all
alone, and my smartass co-worker tries to sneak up and startle
me... nothing, followed by a withering glare (from me).
The first things people usually notice about me
I don't really think I have anything that stands out. Unless maybe
I forgot to comb my hair, sometimes it gets a bit out of control if
I sleep on it wrong or don't comb it after a shower, and I walk
around looking like a mental patient for a while. The rest of the
time I just look like a pale geek (which I am).
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Anything by
Steven Brust,
David Weber,
Eric Flint,
David Drake,
Neal Stephenson,
Douglas Adams,
Steve White,
or
Jim Butcher
is probably something I enjoy.
Movies:
Donnie
Darko, The
Boondock Saints and
Orgazmo. Kind of a tie
really. I've seen them all at least 5 times each, probably 10 times
each.
Though the first two seem to be rather popular picks, so you can
call me unoriginal if you want. I assure you they became my
favorites on their own merit.
Music:
E Nomine,
Lesiem,
Nightwish,
Era,
Luca Turilli,
E.S. Posthumous,
Trans-Siberian
Orchestra,
Gregorian Masters of
Chant, and most recently
Epica,
Kamelot, and
Within Temptation. There is
nothing wrong with you if you have never heard of any of these
artists. I have rather odd tastes. My preference is music played in
a modern style mixed with stuff like symphonies and opera (examples
would be certain parts of soundtracks). Not that I dislike other
music or anything. Except country and rap.
Foods:
Likes:
Cheese,
Blueberries,
Canned
Peaches, really
hot salsa.
Dislikes: Chocolate, nuts, beer, coffee, and mint. Yes, really. But
that can be a good thing for you! If you're ever around me and I
get anything free that contains any of that, I give it away to
those near me.
The six things I could never do without
Does anyone else get annoyed that they feel that you need to pick
six things exactly? Like, if you pick five things or seven things,
there must be something wrong with you?
Anyway, I went ahead and picked six. Here's the first five: My
board game collection, my computers(5), this awesome floor lamp
I've got, the air conditioner blowing on me right now, and my music
collection/mp3 player (NOT an iPod - I'm a rebel like that).
The sixth item is confidential. If you guess what it is, I'll tell
you if you get it right.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The book or screenplay I might write someday, and what I'd do if I
won the lottery.
Random other things that interest me:
cats,
Karaoke,
Achewood (a webcomic)
On a typical Friday night I am
Unless I've met someone since writing this, I'm probably at home
playing
World of Warcraft on my
computer or reading a book.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am secretly trying to take over the world. Just in the planning
stages now, I haven't overcome my laziness to actually start.
You should message me if
Anything you see here in my profile interests you.
Or if you just want to play some board games that's cool too...
