I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

What about me? I'm shortish, round, and happy with my life. I live in one of the greatest cities on earth, am married to my best friend, and work for one of the most successful tech companies in the world .I'm a professional geek, saving people from their computers and vice versa. I love technology, art history and my cats. They're so cute :)I met my wife in the SCA and it's my hobby. I fight, volunteer, and drink. What's not to love?Seattle's getting me in tune with the rest of the world, and I'm coming to enjoy a lot of modern arts, particularly burlesque. I've been hanging out on SuicideGirls lately and WOW. What an interesting phenomenon that is.

My Interests


You are Conner MacManus. You are more serious and
less cynical. "You and your fucking
rope". You are a yekler and not a risk
taker, except for sometimes when the time
comes. You are loyal and would cut up your
own wrists to save someone. ^_^

Boondock Saints... who are you?

I'd like to meet:

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Wil Wheaton...Actually, I would like to meet other SCAdians and geeky people in the Seatlle area. Well, OK... anywhere. I'm a very social creature and I love making new friends, especially the sort with whom I can have in-depth conversations about arcane minutia. Living in Seattle has whetted my appetite for art and culture, so I'm totally adding artists and other creative types to the "wanna meet" list

Music:
