About Me

Nerdy. The good kind though, not the kind that brags about things he hasn't actually done, like cooling a system case with nacho cheese or hacking into the moon's largest hydroelectric dam.

My Interests

The vidya, the internet... basically, if it would fit me into the "nerd" category, chances are I'm interested in it. Other interests include: playing guitar and piano, being lazy, and wearing pants (even during the summer)

I'd like to meet:

Fargoth

Music:

I love The Beatles, above all other music. They Might Be Giants is always awesome. TALLY HALL is rad. Aside from that, basically any 60's-80's rock makes me happy deep inside. My friend Derek has a band called The Rhodes , and I think they're awesome. I'm serious, I would listen to their music even if I was like "Derek WHO?! Never heard of him." Also: Okkusenman .

Movies:

Who DOESN'T like movies? I won't list names, but there are quite a few good ones. Maybe you've seen some of them.

Television:

OKAY here is the deal with TV. The best stuff gets cancelled. Arrested Development and Firefly currently rank as my top two favorite shows, and both of those have been killed before their prime. I also like: Conan O'Brien. Home Movies (also cancelled). Heroes (not going to be cancelled any time soon).

Books:

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Harry Potter, and Snow Crash are all great. I realize that all of these books are stereotypically geeky, but I assure you, I'm not trying to be a stereotype. I just can't help myself!

Heroes:

James "Jim" Raynor, Indoril Nerevar, Ness, and Snake?! SNAKE?!?! SNAAAAKKKEEEEE!!!!
