About Me

I'm 21 years old and not up to much. Going to college, doing the part time thing to stay comfy and fat in the meantime. I like movies, video games and books, and I write some for fun, but not very well.
I'm usually the quiet guy who's enjoying the company but not saying anything. Not too good with people, but I do have a relatively small group of great friends that I wouldn't trade for the world. ...Well... the WORLD, maybe, but not much else.
Just always do what you think is right, yeah? It feels good. And then later, even if turns out badly, you did what seemed right given the information you had at the time, and you have no regrets. Better to be right than to win.

Your Weakness: I give a shit.
Your Fears: "I fear nothing but an honest day's work."

Your Bedtime: I try to get some sleep in at least once every 36 hours, but there's no schedule anymore.
Your Most Missed Memory: I forgot it.
Pepsi or Coke: Coke. Pepsi has a cooler logo, but that's it.
MacDonalds or Burger King: Burger King. Although the MacDonald's "restaurants" are always nicer inside.
Single or Group Dates: I'd be so awkward on a "date".
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: I dunno. I only like Ice Tea if it's so sweetened it hardly counts.

My Interests

Internet, Books, Writing, Being Good, Video Games, Comics, Games, Movies, TV, Simplified Science stuff (I'm "gifted" not a genius), Sleeping, Drawing, Wandering, Whatever

I'd like to meet:

You?

Music:

Lots. Most, even.

Movies:

I like a LOT of movies. I'd say I like about half of the movies I see, but I've seen like a billion. A dozen or so favorites, I don't remember them all. I like science fiction type stuff and horror movies because they're usually interesting even if they're bad.

Television:

Angel, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, The Boondocks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Chappelle's Show, Cowboy Bebop, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Family Guy, Firefly, Futurama, Heroes, House MD, Invader Zim, The Joy Of Painting with Bob Ross, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Late Show with David Letterman, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Samurai Champloo, Supernatural, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Star Trek The Next Generation, The Simpsons, That 70's Show, The Venture Brothers, The West Wing, X-Men, The X-Files, Xiaolin Showdown

Books:

I like well-written but light reads. I usually don't have the patience for anything that's a real project to read. Not that I can't... but why?
I like stuff by Anne Rice, George Carlin, some (some's crap)of Orson Scott Card's sci fi, anything by Douglas Adams, etc... I like lotsa science fiction... those lord of the rings knockoffs or "fantasy" genre as they call it... that supernatural typa horror that Stephen King writes all the time... anything with lesbians... Shakespeare... comics... and of course I read my Catcher in the Rye like a good little serial killer.
You know what though? Gimme any unfamiliar book and I'll read it if I have time.

Heroes:

Me. I'm a hero. That's right.

Malcolm Reynolds. Atticus Finch. Winston Churchill. Benjamin Franklin. Dad. I'm basically a clever mix of all five, except completely different in almost every respect.
