Sometimes I wonder if I am defined only by my interests, which largely consist of video & board games, movies, scripted television, and the occasional comic. Or that I'm defined by how I like dudes and musicals and brightly colored things. Or that I am a four-eyed perpetual learner who sometimes has problems speaking clearly. Or that I am a myers-briggs INTJ. Or that I'm a cute lazy boy who loves to take naps. Or that I am a vegan with a bs BS from UCD who works at a non-profit in SF.

Do these things sum me up? I think at this point I've gathered enough INT/WIS to say without a doubt "No."

Mainly I'm enjoying the ride. It's working out pretty well. When my life is full of games and friends, I'm good. That isn't to say I'm not pursuing more than that, just that I don't let that search dictate who I am.

Remembering things that aren't important, like video game quests from years ago.

Occasionally, I like dreaming up new worlds and writing about them and/or designing board games set in them. I'm not completely horrible at it (well, maybe the writing is technically horrible).

I would imagine it would depend on the context. I can be shy (around strangers), cute (in the right light), bossy (when games are involved), slow (when I am thinking things through), sharp (when I am confident), or aloof (sometimes it comes naturally) when first met.

Music The Cranberries (and Dolores O'Riordan), Nellie McKay, Jason Mraz, Fun., Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack, musicals...

Movies Hairspray (both versions, but I prefer the musical), Serenity, Pleasantville, Sky High, Mamma Mia!, The Sweetest Thing, cheesy gay movies (e.g. Were the World Mine), Bring it On, Pitch Perfect, more. Lately I've been watching netflix blu rays, so I have my fair share of romantic comedies and fantasy action movies under my belt.

... what can I say, I love having my own little tv marathons - no commercials though, thanks.

Online Media Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, The Guild, The Flog, Tabletop, Husbands, Very Mary Kate.

Books Favorite authors: Mercedes Lackey, David Eddings, JK Rowling, Philip Pullman, Rick Riordan, Lemony Snicket, Robin Hobb, Eoin Colfer, Jim Butcher. I kind of am in love with young adult science fantasy, although I just started branching out a little bit. I read Sonya Sotomayor's book - very compelling.

Food I am vegan, so that limits me a tiny bit. But other than that I am not picky at all and will eat pretty much anything. A few favorites: eggplant, hummus, mushrooms, black turtle beans, brussel sprouts, hot sauce, wild rice, kale, bread.

Games, hope, imagination, free time, sorcery, and that feeling you get when hot water runs down the back of your neck when you move right up against the nozzle in the shower.

Whatever game / show / interest I am currently obsessing over. (Right now - Defiance and the Rachel Morgan books)

Imagining that I can call lightning bolts like Storm.

What exciting thing I'll be doing today. (That is, exciting to me, not necessarily conventionally.)

Board games, other games, reading/writing, drinks, a movie, a nap, going out(side), and/or whatever strikes my fancy.

I'll admit anything. Shame is for chumps.

You need geek points. I'm very good at helping people cultivate them. Just ask how!

Or, if you want to meet me. Which you probably should. ;P

Or, if you are willing to hear the music that is playing in my head and sing along with me.

I'm ultimately looking for someone to share my life with, but I'm not willing to do that with just anyone. I have no idea how to get to that point with a person - so far my plan is to fumble into it somehow.
