First off the bat, you should know that I'm in a relationship. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, we're going to be apart for a long, long time. Being reasonable adults, we have decided it's ok to see others in the meantime. If you're cool with that, read on.

I will first list all the qualities I possess which scare off potential mates, and save us both a lot of trouble. I enjoy the smells of tar, gasoline, leather, fire and gunpowder. I also like the sound of chainsaws. I like to go to the range, and I enjoy firearms, and own a few. I like kids, but I'm not really looking to date anyone that has them. I'm just not ready for that. Did I mention I'm a bit of a pyromaniac?

Well, now that 97% of you have gone, let's see about the other 3%. I am a giant geek. I like gaming (FPS and RPG), I work for IT, I'm critical of others' spelling and syntax and I can identify many fonts on sight. I also know HTML. I like explosions, sex and the occasional nature hike. I also enjoy driving out to the middle of nowhere and looking at the stars, long, rambling conversations about the insane or the inane, and alliteration.

Ok, we should be down to about 1% now. I do most of my own car maintenance, but I'm not obsessed with it (i.e. I can change my own oil, but I'm not installing NoS boosters over the weekend). My hobbies include woodworking, leathercraft, and preparing for the zombocalypse. Oh, and I own fish. I recently joined a gym, and go three times a week. I just got tired of being a fat guy.

Also, I realize that I'm holding a gun in all the photos of myself. Don't let it spook you, I just hate having my picture taken.

I currently work in the IT department of Antioch University McGregor, and will be finishing up my degree in Anthropology come the fall. After that, I'll most likely find another IT job in Columbus.

Probably that I'm a very large, ocassionally very scary looking guy. I'm usually wearing black BDU's. I wear a leather jacket in winter and a duster when it rains. If they haven't seen me in a while, they might notice that I've lost weight.

I'm pretty friendly.

I have been told that I resemble Totoro.

Once, on a train in Japan, someone said I looked like a panda. I'm still not sure if that was an insult or not.

Books, Spirituality, Sex, Money, Technology, Writing, Fire, My fish, Media

Watching a movie, playing videogames, roleplaying, working on my writing or website, hanging out with friends, maybe drinking. Sometimes all at the same time.

The smell of exploded gunpowder turns me on.

Also, I was born without tear ducts.

You are 18-30, child-free, biologically and ideologically female, breathing and a huge dork. Please have a witty, possibly sarcastic sense of humor, and a big sexy brain. Looks are /less/ important to me, but it's preferable [but not mandatory] that you be no more overweight than I am, proportionally. Tattoos and piercings are a plus. Height is unimportant (at 6'4", I have to bend down for everyone).
