I'm a hopelessly romantic, goof ball of a normal guy. I like to laugh at the little things in life that don’t go right, or just the absolutely absurd. I think pessimistically yet I’m an optimist. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. I don’t mind going out; because that’s always fun. However I’d rather spend the night with a few good friends. Anything from a movie; to gaming; to just hanging out.

Right now I'm in school for interior design, evidently I'm pretty good at it. Yup, I'm a straight guy going for interior design.

I like gaming; mostly console, but I haven't tried MMORPGs, because I'm sure I'd get addicted. I used to play D&D regularly, but would love to branch out to more table tops (be it GURPS, Werewolf, or the like). My favorite video games include Final Fantasy (any of them), Chibi-Robo, Odinsphere, Dynasty Warriors, Breath of Fire (any of them), Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, God of War, Mario, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band.

My TV is usually tuned to Discovery, Sci-Fi Channel, Cartoon Network, or G4. I still watch cartoons, c’mon, who grew up in the 80’s and didn’t watch Voltron or Thundercats? Great series, to me would include Dr. Who, Mythbusters, Mystery Science Theatre, Leverage, and Whose Line is it Anyway? Movies that peak my interest are usually sci fi, fantasy, comedy, or anime; including the LOTR trilogy, the first 3 Star Wars, Rush Hour, Ninja Scroll, Princess Bride, Tron, Spirited Away, Clash of the Titans, and Monty Python. Two of my favorite directors are Tim Burton, even though I hated his take on Planet of the Apes, and Mel Brooks. I love watching B movies, from those made for TV ones on the Sci-Fi Channel, to zombie movies with loads of fake blood and gore, to Mom and Dad Save the World. Haven’t watched it? Go rent it! I’m not that sure about reality shows though, unless it’s a game show; then I just have to play along.

My library, well that’s what I like to call it, includes such best sellers as Tolkien, The Dresden Files, Journey into the West, various cocktail books, R. A. Salvatore, and Robert Jordan. Unfortunately I’ve grown away from manga and comics, but I used to love me a good Marvel yarn. I still haven’t read Watchmen. I’d listen to any kind of music, but I’m partial to rock, classical, electronica, and alternative. Some of my favorite bands/musicians include Shiny Toy Guns, Dinosaur JR, Nobuo Uematsu, Vivaldi, Darude, Beach Boys, Beastie Boys, Weird Al Yankovich, Godsmack, System of A Down, and Nine Inch Nails.

Ren Faires are a great way to spend a day, even though I’ve only been to the one in town and Bristol. Yes, I did dress up for the last one I went to. I’d love to go to conventions; sci fi, movie, comic; yet I hate doing things by myself and I usually can’t talk my friends into tagging along. Probably because I would insist in dressing up.

I’ve become addicted to shopping, doesn’t matter what for. On some of my recent excursions I bought T-shirts (I have over 200), Styrofoam heads, action figures, shoes (Chucks are the best.), and a gargoyle. I collect random things, usually whatever sparks my interest, and I love going to swap meets, garage sales, and Goodwill stores.

I’m pretty much my friends go to guy for whining and cheer. Usually it’s from a well place sarcastic comment, looking on the brighter side of things, just listening, or being my clumsy self. I try to have fun with whatever I’m doing, and am comfortable in almost any situation. Mind you I would still feel the pressure in a hostage situation.

Oh, and I have 4 tattoos, and wouldn’t mind more.
