I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

First and foremost, I am a geek. You need to know this about me. If you have a problem with smart, weird people, this might not be the place for you to hang out... If, on the other hand, you don't mind occasionally arguing the merits of the original Battlestar Galactica versus the new series or whether Han shot first, welcome.Right now I am in an extended Moment of Transition in my life, after coming out of a thirteen-year-long Age of Strife. Both good and bad things happened in that period, but the general trend was downwards, culminating in my almost dying a couple of times in October of '05. That wasn't much fun, so I don't think I'll do it again.I live on Bainbridge Island, which is the first thing you run into if you head straight West from Seattle. You can get a better sense of who I am as I write blog entries. Have fun...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Just about anyone in the Western US who has a thing for science fiction, speculative fiction, high and low fantasy, going to conventions and renfaires, gaming, wandering the streets and watching the world go by, exploring...And specifically, I'd like to meet Isaac Asimov, Ludwig van Beethoven, Carl Sagan, Theodore Roosevelt, Gene Roddenberry, the guy most people call Jesus, and a bunch of other people who are, unfortunately, mostly dead.

My Blog

Chris is gonna call me emo again...

...but i don't care. I don't have anyone frivolously on my Friends list, and I don't like playing favourites. So far arranging them by geographic proximity has worked well, but now I'm finding more an...

Finally have a date for my next surgery

I am very excited and very anxious. After my first surgery in September of last year, I healed up fast, but the steroids I'd been on had softened my tissues and the surgical site became one huge herni...

Why this is hell, nor am I out of it...

This may come as a bit of a shock to those of you who work or go to school, but I'm starting to hate weekends. I spend a good chunk of my waking time in front of the computer. I am also a very social ...

Where's my straitjacket?

As the healing process continues, I find myself in wierder and wierder mental places. For instance, my energy level is back to where it was over a dozen years ago. This is dangerous... Last week, I ...

Stuck in a moment...

Trust U2 to say it best. This has been the most unexpected turn of events in an already chaotic life. Health problems aside, I came up here in May of last year for my parents' birthdays... and got stu...

The Ken Jennings of online personality quizzes

So, those of you who know, I'm staying with my parents during this time of adversity. Actually, the time itself isn't adverse -- staying in the same house with my mother is. Boy howdy...Last time I ch...
