Look, it's been swell, but the swelling's gone down.

About Me


If you write me, I will eventually write you back. I travel a lot and I work a lot, and I will fit writing you back in between those activities and sleep. Sometimes it will take an hour. Sometimes it will take a day. Sometimes it will take two weeks. Eventually, I will write you back.
To people who try to message me and/or add me as a friend, here's some valuable knowledge:
If you do not send me a message first saying who you are, and I don't know you, I'll probably just ignore your add request until you do message me or until it expires.
If you e-mail me with a poorly written threat, I will forward your threat onto MySpace. I will actually do this even if you e-mail me with a well-written threat.
I may or may not be willing to hang out in person. Sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not. It's been known to happen, but I have a hard time hanging out with my currently existing friends as is due to the insanity of my schedule.
I work for Perverted-Justice.com. I am a co-administrator and assistant director. I serve as the liaison between law enforcement and the organization.
I wear American Apparel clothing all the time -- mostly because their black wifebeaters fit perfectly and I wear a lot of black wifebeaters. I also wear black fitted baseball caps. I like Diet Coke. I like cats. I like gadgets. I like pens. I feel like I'm writing like Ernest Hemingway. I'm . . . exquisitely uninteresting in many, many ways.
My memory likes to keep track of things like all the words to "The Jabberwocky," which I learned in second grade, but neglects to remember things like "Hey, the trash needs to be put out every Friday." Fortunately, I have calendars that tell me these things instead. Sometimes, even though I'm unsure why my memory has decided to hang onto something, it can come in handy; I've used the word heteronym probably six or more times in the past year.
I hate talking on the phone.
The one thing I can categorically state?
You will never meet anyone else like me.
I take that back. One other categorical statement. Potato bugs are really creepy.

My Interests

Reading books. Playing on a variety of electronic gaming gadgets including but not limited to: Wii, DS Lite, PSP, XBox 360 Elite, PS2, and PCs. Longboarding. Making lists. Creating new things to do once I've gotten projects up and off the ground.

I'd like to meet:


I'm a relatively friendly person. I'm not terribly social, but if you want to go longboarding (that's skateboard longboarding, not surfboard longboarding), I might be up for that.
If you're into gaming, I play Halo very badly, Rock Band decently (I play expert bass, hard guitar, and a mixture of medium/hard drums), and other games randomly. I might be your friend on Xbox Live, even, if you're not a creepy person.
I would rather not meet anyone who plans to commit a crime against me, whether the charge amount to a felony or a mere misdemeanor. Personal preference there. I'm picky like that.

Music:

I updated this section in April since it had changed a lot.
Andy Partridge, Antsy Pants, Anya Marina, Azure Ray, Belle and Sebastian, The Bird and the Bee, Bishop Allen, Cat Power, The Drown, Hello Goodbye, I'm From Barcelona, Imogen Heap, Jim Bianco, Jonathan Coulton, Junior Boys, Kate Bush, Kimya Dawson, Lemon Demon, Low, M.I.A., MC Lars, MGMT, Miranda Lambert, Mott the Hoople, The Notwist, The Pixies, The Puppini Sisters, The Raconteurs, Rush, Sara Bareilles, The 6ths.

Movies:

To list a sampling: Blazing Saddles, Boondock Saints, Cecil B. Demented, Donnie Darko, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Tank Girl, and V for Vendetta.

Television:

Aeon Flux, Firefly, Wonderfalls. I'm slowly making my way through Battlestar Galactica as well.

Books:

Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. Trashy supernatural romance novels. Graphic novels. Anything by Terry Pratchett.

Heroes:

Dorotea. Those who know who she is will know why she's a hero of mine. Those who never knew her missed out.

I am so. So. Tired. But I had 27 people follow me into a house, so I’ve got a reason!

Here's what Xav had to say: After seven months of expansions and new projects, our volunteers came together to go back to our bread and butter: large-scale police stings. The result? 27 internet se...
