About Me

Eis forElegant
Yis forYoungI'm one of the geeky people that work for a game development industry. But unlike most of them, I actually work on something that would make our lives better. I program serious games (i.e. army and medical training simulation) using Unreal engine for a company called Virtual Heroes. I love my job, because I work in the environment where I know every single person and can count on anyone. There are some stereotypical images of what my life is suppose to be like and they mostly do not apply. I do not work 70/hours week, I actually have a somewhat flexible schedule. I must admit I'm somewhat geeky and love new gadgets, but not to a point where I am obsessed with my work or computers. I have other interests, such as going to concerts (especially to bands that I personally know), go to see a play (especially if I have a company to go along with) or just hang out at the local venues. I play a few sports - soccer, tennis and volleyball, to name some. I love going outdoors, be it hiking in the Smoky Mountains or just going to Eno River park. Lakes at night is my weakness, I enjoy a full moon. I dance (be it salsa or techno) when I am really in the mood for it or when I have the right people with me. I like a variety of music, there are very few bands that I haven't heard of. I am originally from Russia and that alone makes me look beyond the boundaries of US and accept different cultures. I have a somewhat flexible mind, but I stand firm on important issues. I'm here to meet people who are willing to get to know me and are original. I really could care less about race or nationality, if the person can hold an intellegent conversation, we'll find a common ground.

A new technique, a new partner, a new piercing...
And your own personal kissing style is very unpredictable
There's no saying where your tongue or hands will go
Your Hidden Talent
You are a great communicator. You have a real way with words.
You're never at a loss to explain what you mean or how you feel.
People find it easy to empathize with you, no matter what your situation.
When you're up, you make everyone happy. But when you're down, everyone suffers.
Your Birthdate: September 12
Being born on the 12th day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life.
The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental.
There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, sometimes "couldn't care less" attitude.

You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression.
Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing.
You are energetic and always a good conversationalist.

You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters.
Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about.
You are affectionate and loving - but very sensitive.
You are subject to rapid ups and downs. What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
In a Past Life...
You Were: A Genius Monk.

Where You Lived: Russia.

How You Died: Dysentery.
You Are 23 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

I'd like to meet:

After hospital facts
