I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Aspiring to be the all around Renaissance man. I enjoy good conversation, good food, and good company. I learn about anything I can get my hands on. I'm a little on the quiet, solitary side, but also enjoy spending time with people. I'm pretty close to any description you could find about a Libra. I'm not religious, but enjoy talking about religion, politics, and occasionally I like rebelling against the system. FIGHT THE MACHINE! WHEE!! :) I have a wild and wacky sense of humor that keeps me entertained (and sometimes other people too).

My Interests

Hiking, camping, X-country skiing, downhill skiing, squash... I love watching movies, going to theatre, going to concerts, playing computer games, board games, and visiting with my friends. I love to cook (I'm an aspiring gourmet chef), and to TRAVEL.I love computer games... I love the old Lucasfilm adventure games (MONKEY ISLAND series, especially. And Sam and Max)... I've been enjoying Doom 3 and Star Wars Battlefront lately. I'm not really that great at them, but I really enjoy it. LAN parties with friends are always incredibly nerdy, but fun.
