About Me

Well, let's see...

Words that describe my life include music, quiet, relaxing, creation, independence and humor. I like to explain things and to discuss and argue, if the argument is civil. I have a pretty even keel as far as personality.

You Are Rain
You can be warm and sexy. Or cold and unwelcoming.
Either way, you slowly bring out the beauty around you.
You are best known for: your touch
Your dominant state: changing What Type of Weather Are You?
Create your own Friend Quiz here My main recreational interest is reading, mostly fiction, but I will read about anything that I find some interest in. Also, I like fencing, disc golf, racquetball and soccer. The latter two I haven't been doing much because I can't find anyone yet to play with, and I don't have a lot of time or really know where to look. Fencing is right now balancing with disc golf. I am improving both, and enjoy both too much to choose one or the other. I have earned my rating in fencing, and moved up from intermediate to advanced in disc golf, so for now it seems to be working. Come over and let me show you my trophy sometime ;)
I have a strong interest in hardware and technology. I worked as a network specialist and computer repair specialist during college and now I probably have two of the most hack proof computers in my area. Not that I have anything to hack, but I sure don't get viruses. :)
I am now a homeowner, and enjoying the ability to change things to meet my tastes without having to think about how to put them back when I leave. Having my money do something worth while is nice also.


The Three Question Personality Test
Your Personality Is
Rational (NT)
You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!
Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
In fact, you're often a little short with people who don't impress you mentally.
You seem distant to some - but it's usually because you're deep in thought.
Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.
In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.
At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.
With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well.
As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.
On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.


What 2007 Car Should You Drive?
You Should Drive a Jaguar XK 4.2
You Should Drive a Jaguar XK 4.2
You don't care how you get there as long as you get there with class.
And having a little power doesn't hurt either!
Maybe I will get the Jag in a couple years, but for now, my Jetta suits my needs quite well.
My Space Creatives
Your element is Water: Understanding, intelligent,
quiet and calm. You know who you are and no
one can change that. Usually quiet but only
because your listening, don't let anyone
think you haven't got an opinion! You're not
quiet because you're shy or sad, your usually
quiet because you are thinking. Your answers
are well planned and helpful so people
generally seek your advice. You're the perfect
balance between solitary and outgoing. But
sometimes you need a little time to yourself
to sort out your emotions and figure things
out. You understand the phrase 'sticks and
stone' and rarely let things get to you.
What's that important for you to have to get
so upset over? You know what you want out of
life but are simply taking your time and
enjoying things. To you your life is fine as
it is, you can always change things later if
you're not happy.

I'd like to meet:

Right now, I just want to meet people in my area that I can hang out with, maybe go to the movies, dinner, that sort of thing. Just go get a beer, talk for a while. Male or female, don't care, I am just trying to build a social base so that I can get out a little more and experience more of the area, have more fun.
I guess that friends are about all I want right now. Any one with similar interests, or that thinks they can put up with me and have some fun.

A quote:
I had an epiphany a few years ago where I was out at a celebrity party and it suddenly dawned on me that I had yet to meet a celebrity who is as smart and interesting as any of my friends.
