Chuck

Hmm. I'm mostly a slacker. I have a lot of ambitions and interests, but I generally don't get all that much done and am excellent at devising excuses to avoid doing things. On the other hand I am a bastard and put great thought and effort into being a bastard. Usually I am harmless. I have a small number of very close friends, who I would (and sometimes do) almost anything for, up to and including kidnapping. And probably more, but I haven't been tested past that point yet. I am a geek of many trades. I got into computers and video games something fierce when I was in middle school and through most of high school, but I'm not too serious about it now. I still hit LAN parties friends do and I play new games, but I don't play online much anymore. Drifting away from computers, I've turned into an indie music nerd; I hoard good (and sometimes pretty bad) indie music, but I'm not cool enough to have really tousled hair or black rimmed glasses. I'm also, in turn, a car stereo nerd, though I've stopped going to competitions or spending much money on the hobby. I'm an avid longboarder (as in long skateboards) and enjoy few things as well as bombing deep hills or cruising empty thoroughfares in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, I don't know many other people who like to hit hills like me and lately I've been living in areas that are completely flat. Let's see. I'm fairly apolitical, having contempt for both major parties, though not always for the whole system, and am essentially a mildly liberal libertarian (not libertarian party, mind you, that's a rather conservative establishment). Politically, I am like an angry, vindictive Dalai Lama, and thus poorly represented. Might be a good thing though, who knows, gives me something to be indignant about.
