About Me

my name is ryne and...
...i make my own puzzles .
...i'm proud of my vocal range of two B's below Middle-C and three F#'s above Middle-C
...i consider myself an unscrupulous bastion of vast trivial knowledge.
...i like to use my names in a very pun-like manner to go with my mood and picture on myspace some names include: RYNEcologist, RYNEgo Starr, Pork/Orange/Watermelon/Cheese Ryne, Ryne Coryne and Tangent, Ryne-ocerous, and Be Kind We-ryne'd. i just come up with them as they come to me.
...i'm the biggest word nerd and cruciverbalist (crossword enthusiast in layman's terms) that you'll ever meet.
...my kryptonite is pretty girls. i start stuttering and speaking nonsense... embarassing.
...i love to make food completely out of scratch: sauces, doughs, the final product. the whole shebang! it gives me a feeling of self-satisfaction and leaves mine and other stomachs full.
...you might remember me from such documentaries such as Spam: Unwanted Email or Delicious Can of Meat?, also The Biggest Bane of Human Existence and Ska: The Music Behind the Music
...i'm a sucker for videogames that don't look realistic like back in the nintendo or super nintendo days. 8- and 16- bits of glorified pixels were my first love.
...people think i'm strange for carrying lotion in the side pocket of my backpack. what can i say? i like my hands soft to the touch instead of ashy, dry, and cracked.
...i love drinking hot cocoa with two jet-puffed marshmallows. after the marshmallows get soft, i cut them into pieces so it looks like an archipelago islands of white over a brown sea.
...i experiment a lot, in the musical sense mostly. like playing pop tunes ("imagine" for example) in a minor key from where they started. i like seeing what kind of emotion i can convey.
...i am an advocate for spending a whole lot of time doing nothing as long as it is with anyone, anybody, somebody.
...being easy going, answering rhetorical questions with quick wit and randomness is my bag.
...i do enjoy stand up comedy and watching cartoons. i like laughing.
...what i don't like though is when i can't see water spots on the kitchen floor and i step on it and my socks get soaking wet the rest of the day.
...i also don't like people that drag their feet. pick up your feet or i will slash your achilles tendon!
