I am robotronic, dinosaurical, and pirate-esque.
My Self-Summary
I don't really think that test thingy was accurate at all. But then
again, I don't think any test can really be accurate, as I don't
really fit into categories. Not that I'm
so cool I defy
category, I just don't really make any sense, not even to
myself. I'm silly, yet serious; active, yet lazy; nerdy, yet hip;
artistic, yet down to earth; enjoy going out, yet enjoy staying in;
optimistic, yet cynical; high- brow, yet
low-brow; open-minded, yet
traditional; an active conversationalist, yet a good listener;
sarcastic, yet friendly; an old soul, yet I still act like I'm
five. I'm a
contradiction of sorts, but then,
I suppose to an extent, everyone is. I've never been good at
defining myself, though I also think by defining a person, you
limit them.
What I’m doing with my life
My job isn't exactly the greatest job ever, but they let me come in
at 11:15am and the paychecks don't bounce, so I'm pretty content
with it for now. Beyond that I try to keep making
art, hopefully getting
to the point where I can find a way to get paid to do that. And on
Tuesdays I run a trivia night at the DMSC with a couple friends of
mine.
I’m really good at
rolling quarters across my knuckles, spinning bottles in my hands,
flipping
pancakes
in the air, twirling pencils around my thumb, video games and
figuring a way to add
drinking rules to any game. Yep,
if it's entirely useless and
impractical in real life, odds are
I've taken the time to learn it.
The first things people usually notice about me
The slanty eyes, I'm guessing. Or my slightly off sense of humor,
regardless of present company. Or possibly my hair -- I do find
people petting me more than one would readily predict. Or that I'm
probably gay.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food

The six things I could never do without
A six-pack of Newcastle. Or failing that, and since I'm often
broke, a six-pack of Pabst will do in a
pinch.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Mostly I think about the human condition and aesthetics. And what
to do when the zombies and/or robots inevitably attack. And how
awesome dinosaurs are.
On a typical Friday night I am
in love. Monday you can fall apart. Tuesday, Wednesday break my
heart. Thursday doesn't even start...
OK, Cure lyrics aside, I'm probably out. Or
in. I don't know that I really have a typical. I'm equally content
at a bar with friends, on the
couch with a book, or at home with friends
and/or video games and movies.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I never learned how to read. I've filled this entire thing out by
typing the question into my kid sister's Speak'n'Spell, and then
saying my answer into the
Speak'n'Spell and copying what
it says on the screen. It's a very tedious process.
You should message me if
you make as little sense as I do. If you like things that are fun
and awesome. If it seemed like a good idea at the time. If you want
to hang out and play Nintendo. Or Sega, I'm not picky.
