In Our Bedroom After the War

I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

I am of Danish descent with a Scottish moniker. I am semi-tall, thin and the youngest. I am impatient, sarcastic and cynical. I hate yams and squash. I love chocolate cake, Band of Horses and curvy women. I want to be a screenwriter/actor, but I sure as hell don't want to go to L.A. for it. I am extroverted yet introspective, a loner in need of company (but a select kind). I want a house on the coast of Seaside, Oregon, filled with books and films I've never read or seen before (and some that I have). I want a relationship, but not in a 'relationship' sense. I am complicated in a simplistic way. I would never want to be president, and I fu**ing can't stand the current office holder. School is something I excel at and now I pretty much despise it. 'Glad to meet you, kid, you're a real horse's ass'. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Ahh, the ever-cynical and sarcastic speechwriter. Gutsy and not afraid to speak up or clash with authority, his dry wit is amusing. But under it all he's just a big teddy bear... and the world's biggest Yankees fan.

Books:

I like almost any genre, anything that captures my attention (except romantic). It should have the same criteria as movies, with interesting characters, a well thought-out plot, and good dialogue. I especially like heroic fantasy and mystery novels. My favorite authors include David Gemmell, Ayn Rand, Robert B. Parker, and Jim Butcher. Dilbert, Doonesbury, The Boondocks, Calvin & Hobbes, Non Sequitur, Bizarro, and Sherman's Lagoon are among the funniest and most creative comic strips. The nerd in me also reads comic books (or graphic novels) quite often, which I'm proud to say have gotten more grounded in reality, with the good guys not always winning.
