I am a big geek.
That is the extent to which I wish to describe myself. If you're really that interested, read my livejournal.

Did you ever watch Double Dare when you were young? Remember how a lot of the time the grand prize was astronaut camp? Well, I think it's sort of fucked up that we encourage all these kids to try and be astronauts, when in reality almost none of them will be able to realize that dream. But at the same time, it is unacceptable for kids to want to grow up to be ninjas or pirates. I don't have any hard numbers on the ninja thing, but I know for a fact that there are a bunch of honest-to-goodness steal-yr-cargo-then-dump-you-in-the-ocean pirates operating off the East African coast. In conclusion, I find that astronaut to be an acceptable career goal while pirate and/or ninja is not to be extremely interesting.
You live in Portland and you won't gouge out my eyes. Or maybe you want to play Boggle or Scrabble? Or maybe even magic the gathering? Or talk about how awesome Futurama was? Or video games? Discussing Lost or Harry Potter is also pretty good. Deconstructing gender and class and stuff like that is also okay, but in all honesty I get more excited ranking the Mario games in order of quality than I do talking about why I don't like the concept of genderqueer.
