I am Witty, nice, and dorky.
My Self-Summary
My name is Michael. I’ve lived in the Hillsboro/Beaverton area most
of my life.
I work for a company, where I do IT work for their new retail
stores. It keeps me really busy, and I have to travel to each new
location.
In my free time I like
hanging out with
friends,
going to movies, taking a
random trip to
the
coast, or just reading a good sci-fi or fantasy book.
What I’m doing with my life
I’m currently living with a roommate, I swore I wouldn’t get one
again, but he really needed a place to stay. So far it’s been okay.
Either I'm gone, or he's gone, so it's like a time-share.
I'm also working more hours than I would like, and I'm trying to
find a way to relax when I get home. After spending 4-5 days in a
new place, without much social interaction, I just want to spend
the time I have when I get home with friends and family.
I’m really good at
Friends and family both say I’m a pretty good cook. I almost went
to the Culinary Institute a few years back, but whenever I’ve taken
a job doing something I like, I inevitably no longer like doing it
outside of work.
Movie trivia. I own a plethora of movies. I usually forget which
ones I own, which forced me to make a list of them. I’m still not
sure if they are all on the list.
I'm also really good at keeping my word. If I say I'm going to do
something or that I will be somewhere... you can be sure that I
will follow through.
I'm also able to do just about anything around the house, thanks to
a very ambitious mother who loved to remodel homes, and had me do
most of the work.
The first things people usually notice about me
My imposing figure. I'm a tall guy, and many people mistake me for
someone who plays football. I played for 6 months, my sophomore
year in High School. Why does this still haunt me?
I’m also pretty shy when I first meet people. It’s something I’ve
been working on for a while now, but it’s just who I am.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Big fan of anything by Jim Butcher.
Movies: Too many to list. Short list of those I can put in and
watch at any time: Bourne movies, The Italian Job, Mall Rats, The
Three Musketeers.
Music: I can listen to anything.
Food: I love PF Changs. I like it so much, I've figured out a
couple recipies.
TV: Eureka, Battlestar Galactica, Burn Notice, Dexter, Big Bang
Theory.
The six things I could never do without
1. A place I can go to relax (a sauna)
2. Family/friends. I count this as one, because my friends are like
family to me
3. My computer (it functions as my DVR)
4. Money
5. My car or motorcycle
6. Freedom
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What I have to get done for work, and where to go for my vaction.
On a typical Friday night I am
I hope I’m out with friends doing something. Like: going to a
movie, playing board games, or just hanging out somewhere. Usually
something laid bakc and casual.
The first Friday of every month is Cort and Fatboy's midnight movie
at the Bagdad Theater. A buddy of mine and I go almost every month.
It really depends on the movie.
You should message me if
1. You feel like it
2. You want, or have, an oppinion on a movie
3. You know of places that I "can't miss" when I'm traveling for
work
