About Me

How weird it feels to try to explain the contradictions and characteristics that make up a personality. Perhaps in this instance it's a conflict between the narcissism that I indulge, and discomfort at toting my being out of the closet for peer review. I enjoy people watching, and its natural extension, looking at profiles on my space. I enjoy listening to vicious backstabbing gossip. Oddly, I feel no need to spread gossip. Unfortunately this voyeuristic streak extends only to the social. I have never killed a man just to watch him die. I was voted sexiest man to ever work in my local game store. I have an uncanny instinct for finding new and exciting stupid mistakes to make. It has been suggested in some quarters that I am overly analytical, paranoid, and entirely incapable of saying what I actually mean. In response, I have advanced a number of alternate theories, ranging from the basis of any relations being miscommunication, to the underlying untrustworthiness of featherless bipeds, to the dubious ancestry and sexual practices of those who would say such things about me. What is this nonsense! I can't make comments on my profile cuz I'm not my own friend? Bullshit. I'm gonna clone myself, and we'll have tea parties, and do christmas together, and take long walks by the lake. . . My friends, when they're sayin nice things, think this . If I've pissed them off recently, they say different things.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I recently realized that 99% of people live in quiet desperation. Or, more specifically, they -would- if they were any better at shutting up. As a reasonably adaptive person, I have been inclined to revel in this sound and fury rather than hide from it. As a result, i would be interested in meeting more: Carnival Barkers, Failed Writers, Graveyard Shift Waitresses, Long Lost Drinking Buddies, Fire Performers, Horror Film Buffs, Swing Dancers, Comic Book Artists, Those who have Retained their Sense of Awe, Movie Theater Ushers, People who are still upset they are Finite Beings, Private Investigators, Aspiring Starlets and other Undesirables/Freaks of nature. Basically, those who can rejoice over the bright, tacky, and plastic, find comfort in a sea of unending babble, and mourn the human condition with laughter. If you feel you fail to fall into any of these broad catagories, drop me a line anyway. Even if i don't feel like talkin, I'm always curious whose lookin at me.

Zombies

So, I finally figured out the cause of the shift between zombie movies of yore and the newer zombie movies.  I'm not talkin about how zombies can run fast now, but rather the social dynamic of th...
