Words go here... no really, they do...

About Me

Hmm, what to say. I guess that I went to college, and got a BA in English. Which is to say I spent all that time and effort getting a degree that isn't going to do me a whole lot of good. I guess it is a good thing that I like my job. The pay could be better, but who doesn't say that? I live with my cat, my bird, and two roommates. Oh, and I am offically no longer single. Thats right, the improbable has occured; I managed to find a girl that is willing to put up with me for more than an hour or two at a time... and she is good looking to boot. How'd I manage that?

My Interests

I have lots. Who doesn't? Boring people who only do one thing are, well, boring. My biggest interest for the past few years has been the SCA. That is a non-profit organization that recreates European medieval history. I also like all things Japanese. Yeah, I know that is in right now (which would usually make it out for me), but I was into all thing Japanese before it became popular... so there. Some other things I like: sports of various kinds, art of various types, music (who doesn't), etc. etc. blahblahblah

I'd like to meet:

Errr... meet? People that don't only exist in my own head would be nice for a change.

Music:

I listen to most things. My favorite is rock from all eras. In particular I don't really like rap or country, though they both have a few good songs.

Movies:

Not a huge movie buff. I see movies and then forget that I saw them. Of course that means that I can enjoy them a second time, HA!

Television:

Nope, I don't do TV either. I don't have cable at home. And at work I generally ignore the idiot box.

Books:

Ahhhh, now here is something I do. Have a BA in English means I've done more than my fair share of this. I like the classics a lot. Dante is fun. As is Chaucer and Milton. Poetry is ok in small doses, but I don't usually go in for it by choice. Of the modern authors, I am currently enjoying the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.

Heroes:

Who needs heroes? I AM a superhero in training. At least this is what some of my friends have decided...

Me and my Blog

I'm not a huge fan of putting my thoughts out there for everybody to see.  And it is probably for the better since most of what goes on in my little head would likely scar most normal people for ...
