I'm a geek. An electronics nerd. Obsessed with gadgets. But at least I try to keep from looking like one... I also like to go shopping, seeing movies, party-hopping, and good old-fashioned fun things like playing hide and go seek at night. ...Oh yeah, and this:
People with good morals and standards. People with at LEAST half a brain. People that communicate well. And people who are down-to-Earth. I can't stand cockiness. There isn't a bigger turn off.
I’ll probably be your friend so long as you’re not an asshole to me. Really, even if someone tells me you’re a dick, so long as you’re nice to me, I have no reason to hate you. I question the integrity of most things I hear about people, so until I witness it firsthand, it’s all good.
As for dating, here are some qualities I look for in a partner:
Modesty
Integrity (honesty, morality)
Manners
Kindness
A sense of humor
Generosity
Intelligence
Someone who isn’t wholly sex-obsessed
And someone who stays away from drugs
I know what you're thinking: "well that's kinda what everyone is looking for, so....yeah... Get over it." Well, maybe it is. But what I'm trying to say is I'm not going to settle. Most people would prefer those sorts of qualities in their partner, sure. But with most other people my first bullet is their last and they're willing to settle for less with the rest. Well I'm not. And I know there won’t be a person who embodies all these qualities…but so long as a majority — or even, say, half of them are met at least somewhat decently, you're still a better person than most. That's the kind of person I want to meet.
…Too much to ask?

Anything electronic. But I like a bit of everything. My music collection spans every genre but rap. Gag me with a spoon. I go for anything with a good tune and a nice beat.
Some of my favorites (in no particular order) include: Michelle Branch, Alanis Morisette, Madonna, Colbie Caillat, t.A.T.u., Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, Enya, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Frou Frou and Imogen Heap, Ryan Cabrera, The Rasmus, Maroon 5, Keane, The Postal Service, Gwen Stefani, Michael Bublé, Avril Lavigne, Natasha Bedingfield and her brother Daniel, Daft Punk, Benny Benassi, ATB, Cascada, Vanessa Carlton, Ben Jelen, James Blunt, DHT, BassHunter, Mae, iiO, Regina Spektor, The Faint, In-Grid, 4 Strings, The Vinylshakerz, Sara Bareilles, Jay Brannan, and Josh Groban.
I love all kinds of movies. As long as it has a plot and the acting isn't horrible, I'll watch it. Oh, and good music definitely helps. I guess my favorite type of movie would be an action film, with a close second going to musicals and followed by childhood Disney movies. I don't really like "chick flicks," though. Not my style. And scary movies...scare me too much... :-/
Some of the ones I really liked were Charlie's Angels 2, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Finding Nemo, the Pirates of the Caribbean's, the James Bond collection, Panic Room, The Game, the Kill Bill's, Spirited Away, Lord of the Rings, the Austin Powers movies, all the X-Men movies, the Spiderman's, Moulin Rouge, the Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, and Rent.
My television is off 98% of the time. I feel like it sucks the time away from you. If I ever do watch anything, it's most likely one of five shows: Futurama, South Park, Family guy, Bleach or AbFab. And most of those times I just have the TV .. I fall asleep and they just happen be on.
So I try to read every now and then, but it just doesn't hold my interest. *shrug* I'd rather watch a movie or read articles online. I read tech blogs, mostly.
Nobody has really ever done anything for me for which I feel I owe an unrepayable debt. And there isn't anybody whom I find wholly admirable. So I guess no one.
