Caveat: I'm mostly looking to meet new friends right now.

I am an undergraduate student working on a Computer Science (digital art and animation) degree, with an Art minor. I recently gave up MMORPGs in favor of passing classes, and am feeling at least 75% satisfied with this decision. I work part time, to pay the bills-- tech support, but you might as well call it whoring because I always end up feeling used, dirty, and underpaid by the end of the day. ):

I am a very large person; if this bothers you, I advise you to move along before wasting more time. Check out my stats if you don't believe me ----------------------------------------------------->
Notice that I don't ask you to take a look at my pics. That's because you already have, you shallow person, you ;)

My interests range from the mundane to the absurd, which includes the realm of anime & manga (but I find clubs and cons intimidating). I grew up with and love video games (especially RPGs). Often you may find me playing or listening to music, sketching and photoshopping characters, and reading fiction. Lately I've been on a mythology kick, and I'm just waiting for OSU to offer the Scandanavian Mythology class . . . /drool

I am a firm believer that there is "nothing neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so."

Every relationship is different and should be treated as such. I originally wrote a lot more in this paragraph, but ended up deleting it all because of the preceding sentence. Although I don't expect to find true and lasting love on a dating site. . . . part of me desperately holds out hope for its existence.

I like cats better than dogs, because their affection can never be taken for granted; you must earn and maintain it. Also, dogs like to hump my legs and it's embarrassing.

Although I feel every emotion very intensely, I do not always react immediately, out of instinct. Some would call this being 'civilized,' and others call it 'passive aggressive,' but I try to be as direct and honest as possible in relationships, and hate it when someone assumes I am trying to play a "head game" with them; if I were to play one, it would probably involve your other head.

My fingernails turn blue when I'm cold. ):

I would like to find someone who "gets" me... someone who complements my personality, instead of clashing with it. I am a little high-maintenance, but worth it; I have a somewhat insatiable libido and would like to find the same in another. I tend to be bored by those I perceive as "normal" and generally prefer to peruse the lunatic fringe. I do not enjoy men who frequently raise their voices. I've dated shorter guys on occasion, but am usually more attracted to the larger ones who can actually play rough with me. Though, I won't lie... it is occasionally fun to play rough with someone else...

Some things I gravitate toward: independence, strength, mental agility and wit, playful cynicism, honesty, patience, affection, kink, sensitivity and compassion, humor, creativity, geekiness, curiosity, introspection, philosophical thinking, open-mindedness, emotional stability, cleanliness, long hair, kilts.

Now that the laundry list is out of the way, I should note that I have never encountered a person I could see myself with in a life-long partnership, so I am more than likely missing a few things; if you don't fall into my little boxes, or are just looking for friendship, don't hesitate to message me. Even if you have a vagina.

P.S. Watching sports is boring~

College.
Tech Support.
Art.
Weight loss.
Video Games.
Coding.
Guitar.
Learning Japanese.
Using too many parenthetical phrases.
Trying to connect with other humans (somewhat awkwardly).
Joking about dead babies.
Thinking about taking up fencing.

Lately I've been working on becoming stronger -- physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I am an incorrigible insomniac, night owl, and procrastinator of epic renown.

Wasting time, Guitar Hero, MMOs, Photoshop, making you feel wanted, being a distraction, pointing out absurdities, misleading you into thinking I'm super-awesome, being overly analytical, wishing I weren't.

my size/stature, my shirts, my glasses, my uncanny ability to look depressed even when I'm not

It was exceedingly difficult for me to prune the list THIS far. :|

Pillows -- nests of them

being slapped, being cuddled, humans, existential angst, my next meal, past and present love, my body, song lyrics, being eaten by grues. . .

I often worry about worrying too much.

Well, last Friday night I went to see Evil Dead at the Ohio Theater. Usually, though, I'd be reading, chatting, watching stuff, arting, cooking, or jogging in the park.

I compulsively edit my profile, despite the fact that it is impossible to describe myself in these miserable little vehicles we call words. I guess this means I crave understanding.
