About Me

These about me things are hard for me because I don't think I fit into any general category or clique. For now the closest description may be a slightly granola science nerd, with cool tendencies.My nerdy biology nut wants to say I'm a not so randomly generated compilation of DNA.

I kick ass at puzzle games like tetris and puzzle fighter. Those and battle balls and bust a move are probably my favorite video games. I've discovered katamari damacy! I hold my own at aoe III and am slowly trying to figure out civ IV. I like settlers and carcassonne. I'm not as bad as that sounds.I ride a Kawasaki Ninja 250. I really really want an Aprilia RS250 or a Yamaha R6, but alas, my inseam could use a few more inches.I love being outdoors, but hate being cold. My tolerance for the discomforts of outdoor activities such as camping is medium. My tolerance for being cold is nil.One of my wild aspirations is to be an organic farmer. In the mean time I’ll support them by buying my local farmers crops.

I working on being a vegetarian. It's tough man! No cheese! My body was seems to need meat. This is no superficially comment I mean like I would be cranky nasty hungry all day if I didn’t feed it meat at some point. I try to be good about it. I’ve killed chickens and a pig once and try to be aware of where my meat comes from.

My Interests

Music, reading, dogs, climbing, hiking, snowboarding, people watching. Motorcycles!!! I get turned on watching motogp. I'll check out a pretty naked bike any day. Making stuff- painting, pottery, beading, book-binding Does anyone in Seattle have a kiln they'd like to share????

I'd like to meet:

Fun friends to work out, go outside, go out and eat good food with. I'll consider conservative right wing people but we probably wouldn't get along. I couldn't sleep with you. It'll hurt my conscience.

Music:

i like music. a lot!

Television:

Ack! I knew it was going to happen and I let it anyway. We got internet service and now I spend more hours than I care to admit watching streaming TV. CSI, Lost, Heroes, 30 Rock, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives... what... has... become of me... I'll telling myself it's just a phase and adjusting to long blocks of free time, a computer, and the internet.

Books:

The book I'm reading right now- Pirates in adventures with Scientists and What If 2. Books on tape rule!. Any recommendations?

The book I read last- Quicksilver- I normally love neal stephenson, but this one- eh not so hot. it kinda drones on- I don't plan to finish it.The book I'm supposed to read- none for now hurray!! Security Policies and Procedures White Paper :P

Heroes:

penguins

my catan addiction

i have been planning an insane amount of catan as of late.  it's getting to be pretty bad.  i'm hoping it would end soon as there is no much getting done in the meantime.
