I am here for Friends

About Me

I finally finished my undergraduate degree after 6 years (though I took a total of 2 years off throughout). I have been to more countries than states and plan to visit every continent by the time I'm 30. I have 7 tattoos. I write. I make video games. I am a geek. I love to cook and bake. I prefer Marvel to DC (though I prefer Vertigo and a number of Independent publishers such as Archaia and Oni to both). I hit the gym most mornings. I am a cinemaphile. I own books I will probably never read. I will admit a certain amount of narcissism. I would describe myself as incredibly shy, but not reserved. I can be excitable. I am a health foodie. I could be described as very liberal, but I prefer the term progressive. I believe any situation is better when shared with company. I am generally two clicks away from wikipedia at all time.

My Interests

art, writing, literature, music, movies, performance, dancing, cartoons, baking, games, ren faires, laughing, comic books, tattoos, clothing, surrealism, magical realism, martial arts, fantasy, hiking, occult, people watching, politics, philosophy, gaming, d&d, costuming, science fiction, literary/sociological theory, publishing

I'd like to meet:

anyone with stories to tell. the winner is the one who dies with the most stories. i admit i am particularly drawn to writers, artists, performers, visionaries, and those with at least a bit of a geeky side, but so far as i am concerned, everyone has something to tell. i'm not likely to add you if you are a band or if we've never met. however, i am likely to add you if we've met only in passing probably because i'm shy and the internet is a great tool for people like me. ;) 's Custom Friends List has friends

Music:

oddly enough, i do not consider myself to have a taste in music. i have very strongly defined tastes elsewhere, but music, no. i will say that i listen to social distortion, johnny cash, nightwish, lordi, flogging molly, random 80's music, and bad religion a lot, though.

Movies:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club, Amelie, Kill Bill 1/2, The Seven Samurai, Serenity, The Big Lebowski, City of Lost Children, Children of Men, 12 Monkeys, Grindhouse, the Lord of the Rings movies... i basically love everything that comes from the brains of Terry Gilliam, Wes Andersen, Charlie Kaufman, Mizuyaki, Tarantino, The Coen brothers, David Fincher, Jean Pierre Jeanut, Kubrick, and Kurosawa. And pretty much everything that comes out of China.

Television:

Firefly, Heroes, The Office, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Red Dwarf, Reno 911, Buffy, Lost, Battlestar Galactica

Books:

China Mieville, Chuck Palahniuk, Gabriel Garcia Marqez, Neil Gaiman, Michael Chabon, Hermann Hesse, Kurt Vonnegut, Alice Walker, Hunter S.
