I graduated from art school and moved out to LA since I was living in an armpit of a town prior to this. People said I was crazy to move somewhere and not have a job. But, dammit, I'm tired of getting nowhere. And wouldn't you know it, after months of looking, I'm now a Layout Artist at a major visual effects studio.

I'm not much of a clubber or bar-hopper. It's not my thing. I'd rather be reading or exploring some strange, new restaurant or watching a movie with friends or maybe I'm doodling away in my sketchbook. I'd rather have fun in a tiny group or with one other person. Hell, most of the time I have fun just staying inside watching an entire tv series in a weekend (and I do).

I'm a geek, a nerd, a dork, what have you. And I'm always dreaming up different ways to cook bacon(Such a noble animal, the pig). I like cooking in general (Thank you Julia Child).

I'm a gamer (no, not the competitive Starcraft type). I just have fun playing games and sometimes thinking about making them. I can't stand antagonistic people; you know..the ones who say I'm wrong for being who I am and liking the things that I like. Or the ones that will string you out in front of others to make themselves look good. You know what gets brownie points with me? Someone who can be my best friend. Someone I can turn to to make a stupid face at me. There's nothing I admire more than a person in touch with their inner child and be able to see the world with wide eyes and wonder.

Working in the crazy field of animation making furry cute creatures look good on the silver screen. I'm working behind the scenes doing visual effects and animation-type stuff(message me if you don't mind being bored with artistic and technical babble).

Sleeping, Cooking, and eating.

But also being patient, being kind, listening, being blunt, pointing out foibles, drawing, building computers, helping out, handling money and using the intarwebs.

I'm always smiling. You know I'm into a person if I'm just smiling like a goober around them. But I have a really dry sense of humor. Although I have been known to be more...emphatic. People always notice that they can be comfortable around me. They can always be themselves around me...as long as it ain't gross.

Books:Harry Potter, Dragonlance, RA Salvatore Stuff, anything by Roald Dahl, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader

Movies:Braveheart, The Hangover, Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, The Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, Fifth Element, Children of Men, Pan's Labyrinth, How to Train your Dragon, Finding Nemo, Kung Fu Panda, Tangled

Music:Mostly 80s, nothing in particular really... just anything but country and rap. I do have a special place for movie soundtracks.

Food: BACON! ribs, steak, meat and potatoes, pasta and breaded chicken, just no seafood or cilantro. That stuff makes me gag. (An Asian that doesn't like seafood?! What manner of creature is this?)

Internet, computer, allergy meds, good friends, a pencil and paper, and memories that make me laugh and remember the good times.

The past, the present, the future, girls, my friends, stories and ideas I want to draw, random ideas that pop into my head, getting the ingredients for a nice steamy Cottage Pie. Yeah, I'm probably gonna turn my friends into fatties.

either playing board games with my roommates, having a dinner party with the neighbors, watching a movie with friends, or probably reading.

If all else fails, I'll be on Reddit or youtube. Maybe watching Dexter. Or maybe hitting up the Serious Eats blog cause guys...cooking is srs business.

I suck at small talk...lend me a hand every now and then and I can keep going for hours.

You are my 100% match or 100% enemy. In which case we shall meet at dawn and have a duel to the death. Sabers, Verdugo Mountains, smartphone uploading video to Failblog.

You enjoy the intarwebs, narwhals, and bacon.

You don't mind me sending you links to cuteoverload or youtube videos. But if that doesn't strike your fancy, well then, more kittens and faceplanting videos for me. :)

If you're looking for a guy who can be your best friend in addition to being a potential mate. I know most girls want to keep those two things separate but I'm looking for both.
