About Me

when i was small i believed i could create things just by willing them into existence. of course, the things i thought i could create were fatal epidemics and nuclear explosions. after a few years of psychotherapy, i managed to convince myself that these things werent true.

i was wrong. it turns out i can will things into existence, and im doing that, trying to avoid the nukes and other end times type stuff.

My Interests

I am interested in computer games, history, science and music.

I'd like to meet:

im very busy trying to improve the state of my life and the world.
i dont have the huge amount of spare time needed to cultivate a massive social life, so, if you ever see me, consider yourself lucky you are one of an elite chosen few.
i like women, not girls. interpret that as you please.
i don't think too highly of people whose thoughts are constantly bogged down with petty concerns.
to those who find this offensive, back off man, im a scientist.

Devin has 8 Friends:

Music:

maps, klaxons, midnight juggernauts, polysics

Movies:
