Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Fair warning. I'm geeky. There's always random electronics strewn about my house, I find things on the internet hilarious, and I record myself playing video games. (What's on the screen, not myself directly. http://bigcore.rsdio.com/zakk/replay if you must see) BUT! I promise I can talk about things unrelated to this stuff, as long as you can tolerate the occasional weird joke that no one but me and maybe 4 other people in the world get.

I pick up new hobbies so I can learn how to do stuff that's cool. I like steep learning curves (in the mental sense, not so much the physical.) I will admit I've been slacking on this a bit lately but I'm starting to wonder if I should teach myself how to redo my bathroom, or maybe try to learn how to muddle through spanish. Update! I'm sorta of teaching myself the bathroom remodeling thing. If by 'remodel' one means 'destroy'. Come to find out tearing out old shower tile is HARD. Halfway there!

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Not getting enough sleep, due entirely to my own silliness. Other than that, plans are for other people!

I'm really good at Propose an edit

System infrastructure (it's my job!), making not-so-pretty graphs, pretending to be good at very hard video games and getting you to reveal something potentially embarassing.

I've also been told I make a pretty awesome meat sauce. It's been ages since I've done so, though.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I have no idea. I never asked. Maybe the hair?

A friend once commented "He wears a beard like it's his job." I find that description quite amusing.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about one thing! I constantly change what I think about. This often leads to hilarity.

Although as of late I have been pondering all the random things I need to get done around the house. And buying a new grill. Summer does that to me.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Eating with friends.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I have absolutely no sense of smell.

Yes, I can taste. No, I have no idea if it's the same thing you taste. Yes, it makes stuff like wine mostly foul.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You find geeky, long-haired men insanely irresistible.

You want to help me locate good pizza in the NoVA area (or eat some once I find it!)
Update: I've found decent pizza in NoVA. This not-so-much-a-secret will go with me to my grave.

You keep a weird schedule and want someone to amuse you at weird hours of the night/morning/whenever.

Bonus: You vaguely understand what's going on in this video, and find it impressive. No, it's not porn and no, that's not me.
