I am just a guy looking for a real relationship. I'm not expecting much from online dating sites, but I'm willing to give them a try. I'm a little shy around people at first, but I'm easy to talk to once you get to know me a little. I have a steady job, go to school (university of Iowa), and play various games (console, PC, board, table-top, word, children's trading cards, and mind) all the time and I always enjoy a challenge.
I don't know what else is necessary to put here. Should I feel like adding more information, I'll do so in the future. Otherwise, I look forward to some discussion with people interested in a real relationship.

Profile Information
My social life:
I'm not all too social. I don't go out to drink at all. I don't care for parties or large gatherings. I prefer smaller groups of people like getting together with close friends. It takes a while for me to get used to people, so I'm a little quiet at first, but I warm up to kind people rather quick.
My insides:
Lungs? Spleen? Intestines? Oh! Non-tangible things. Well... I'm a bit of a smartass (which I suppose is better than being a dumbass). I'm also kind of blunt due to my lack of tact, but I'm honest 90% of the time (the other 10% doesn't count). I like to think I'm funny, but I'm guessing that's only half true. I am not violent and I don't like unneeded confrontation (but I'm not opposed to civil debating). Also, I tend to think and get lost in thought a lot. So if I'm quiet, it's not that I'm bored, it's that I'm thinking about something and lost my mind. Don't worry, it'll come back eventually.
My outsides:
White? Slight belly but not overweight by any means. Not a lot of muscle, but I'll work on that when I get the time to (whenever that happens). I'm really not much to look at. I'm just... normal. I guess.
Occupation:
As my facebook states: I am the diabolical mastermind of the HyVee Kitchen and Concoctionarium. In truth, I'm just a guy working a crappy part-time job as I work my way through school and, potentially, into an early grave when I eventually go mad and my brain explodes because I tried too hard to use the psychic powers I don't really have.
Other stuff about me:
Um... Not that it's anyone's business, but I'm a virgin. I thought I would just say it now before it comes up later and becomes awkward. Haven't found the right person yet (i.e. someone who doesn't just drop the relationship without so much as a goodbye). Yeah... class-acts, some people.
Schools Attended:
Some unimportant high school, a local community college, and the University of Iowa
Places you've worked:
Great Clips and Hy-Vee... yeah... I worked at a hair salon!
My interests, hobbies, obsessions:
Riddles? (no) Games as an artistic medium, film, comics, manga/anime, Batman, writing, designing games, and wasting time thinking about irrelevant things.
Education Level:
Some College
I would like to meet:
Anyone relatively like-minded (like not 100% obviously, but maybe 50%?). I'm not picky. Just don't be a jerk is really about all I ask and we'll see where we go from there.
My family:
I have great parents who have done everything they can to help me get where I am today. My brother, however, would argue otherwise but it's his own fault for making bad friends, bad choices, and I imagine he will have a rough life ahead of him. Aside from that, too much other shenanigans to tell people who may not even get around to meeting them. You'll find out more later if you really want to be bored to death by something absolutely trivial.
Your thoughts in a nutshell
My thoughts on Smoking:
I don't smoke. I don't care for people who do smoke as they smell awful after they light-up. However, I'm all for people's right to smoke. If you want to kill yourself, be my gust. Just not in my house, car, or face please.
My thoughts on Religion:
Take out your bible and make it spin! With the power of RELIGION we can surely win!
Honestly, I think standard religious practices dictated by institutions are stupid. I don't care if you participate, but don't force your beliefs upon me or expect me to get involved. A friend of mine once said I should have a personal relationship with God. I responded that I prefer to keep our relationship professional.
That said, I do think polytheistic beliefs (Greek, Norse, Egyptian) makes more sense than monotheistic. Shit goes down, you only have God/Jesus to blame in Christianity. In Greek, maybe Poseidon got drunk and started acting like a twat, causing massive typhoons to destroy good sections of Japan or whatever. Makes more sense than a loving God just bring stupid or a dick.
My thoughts on Politics:
I lean heavily to the right. I'm a conservative in a financial sense because liberal spending policies are a joke. However, I think the conservative base (especially the parts dominated by archaic religious practices) needs a but of changing when it comes to social ideas (gay marriage, abortion, etc).
My thoughts on Pets:
I love animals. Cats and dogs! I love em both. But when it comes to dogs, only large dogs really count. Anything smaller is some sort of lesser creature that's like part muskrat or something.
My thoughts on Kids:
I'd love to have them someday. For now, I'd like to get through school and then find a steady job I enjoy doing or at least be financially secure.
My thoughts on Alcohol:
No interest in drinking at all. I know, I'm boring. I told a buddy that if he got me sake and I didn't have to drive anyone anywhere, I would try it (if it was the good stuff). Otherwise, I don't care to have any.
My thoughts on Diet:
I don't really have a standard diet. I just eat what sounds good and go with it.
My thoughts on Drugs:
Not interested in the slightest and I don't want to be with one who does them either.
My thoughts on Hygiene:
I'm clean. Um... what else did you need to know?
My thoughts on Fitness:
Being fit is great. I'm not entirely too fit... but I'd like to be eventually. Not that I'm, like, fat or anything. I'm just unable to get a workout in as often as I'd like to in my daily routine.
My thoughts on Fashion:
Yeah. I'm not fashionable at all. I sport a t-shirt and jeans mostly. That's about it. I really don't care to mess around with what I need to wear. It's all really stupid.
