About Me

I'm an eccentric intellectual who was raised in one of the redder portions of a swing-state. I am a Browncoat from the beginning (DAMN YOU FOX!!), a devoted follower of Dollhouse (see previous), and only got into Buffy and Angel after the fact. My biggest passion is roller coasters, and I am a card-carrying member of the American Coaster Enthusiasts. I used to read Batman, Daredevil, Witchblade, and Hulk, but I had to quit due to finances. I also do some swing dancing, to meet comparatively 'normal' people, but I have very little experience in dating.

Favorite Things: A good story well told, Batman: The Animated Series, the Hersheypark Wildcat, Knoebel's, Universal's Islands of Adventure, Firefly, the oeuvre of Al Yankovic.First Job: I worked at a miniature golf course attached to a local ice cream parlor. I had to man the cash register, and wipe down all the picnic tables.

Body Type: Average, Height: Average, Eye Color: Hazel, Hair Color: Light Brown, Hair Style: Straight, Hair Length: Short

College Graduate

Schools Attended: York College of Pennsylvania, Ursinus College, York Country Day School, do you want me to go back to middle school and earlier?

Work Field: Student, Income: $10K and UnderWorking Environment: I'm a student. I pay several thousand dollars a year (well, technically my parents pay, but that's beside the point) for the priviledge to bust my hump acquiring knowledge. Not the most fiscally sound career path at first, but it'll pay off... I think... in theory...

Hersheypark, Manpower Temporary Employment, Jim Mack's Cones & Clubs

Family Life: My family gets along well. Any and all dysfunction involves myself, and maybe my brother, but mostly myself. I have the poorest social skills of them all. Rarely have I been able to relate to my relatives. I still live with my parents. My extended family is mostly out of the picture, unless I need to mooch off of them for something (usually spending the night at their place, rather than finding a hotel room).

Places I've Traveled to: I want to go back to Spain, after a two-week tour back in high school. Mostly, I want to go to the various amusement parks throughout the country and world. Hobbies and Interests: Roller coasters, television (too much of it), amusement parks, comic books (Batman, Hulk, Daredevil, Witchblade), Theme parks, swing dancing, roller coasters, jazz music... did I say roller coasters?

Social Circle / Friends: At Ursinus, I considered myself an ancillary member of a group of nerds. I say 'ancillary' because I never really have gotten any exposure to Japanese culture, and they're all Japanophiles. Now, my social life is better represented by a point than by any planar figure. What you do for Fun: Usually, I do things solitarily, since my schedule rarely (if ever) agrees with anyone else's schedule. On occasion, I have been able to expose some of my colleagues to the majesty that is Joss Whedon's "Firefly", and the pure awesome of "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm". Most of the fun stuff involves intriguing, random, and often humorous discussions over the dinnertables in the dining hall. Other than my friends from school, I have been to several events held by the American Coaster Enthusiasts, which are always a blast.Ideal Date: Whatever she wants to do, as long as she is willing to do it with me.Typical Weekend: Friday nights I usually go swing dancing, and I have my parents record Numb3rs and/or Dollhouse for me, and watch the other on Hulu. Saturdays and Sundays are always TBD, with me moving between the television w/ DVD player, the computer, and homework.Looking for in a Relationship: Emotional comfort. I want a warm fuzzy feeling inside, or at least a woman who reciprocates the warm, fuzzy feelings I have for her. Barring that, I wouldn't mind finding the Sally to my Harry.

A woman who is sweet, caring, and kind, not to mention able & willing to kick my ass if/when necessary.

Personality: I am an eccentric intellectual. I can be emotionally needy at times. To be blunt, my personality is an acquired taste. Rarely do people really like me off the bat.Sense of humor: 'Unique' is the only adjective that comes to mind at the moment. It also involves sarcasm and obscure references.Temper / Tolerance level: Depends on the circumstances. I have great difficulty dealing with stupid people, and some difficulty with ignorant people. I'm usually depressed, overwhelmed, under emotional duress, or any combination thereof, unless I'm at an amusement park, when I'm neither overwhelmed nor under emotional duress.Weaknesses: I have some personal habits that can be disgusting. I have some issues with anger, and I need a better way of venting my anger.Degrees: High School Diploma from York Country Day School, BS in Physics from Ursinus CollegeExtracurricular Activities: High School: Lettered in Academics twice, Lettered in Association Football (Soccer, if you must ask) four times, Theater award, Instrumental Music Award, participated in school musicals. College: Two semesters in the Jazz Ensemble, some theatrical work, one semester on the Dean's list (I was taking a light load of easy courses that semester along with a Pass/Fail internship which I passed).Life Improvement: Get out more, cut out my disgusting habits, and improve my social skills, especially with stupid/inconsiderate people. That last one nearly cost me a job working for an amusement park.What is your primary obsession in life?: Roller Coasters. I'm an adrenaline junkie who can hardly wait for summer and the amusement park season to roll around.

I don't drink and prefer sober people.  I like my mental faculties and prefer to keep them, thank you very much.  If you prefer to drink, more booze for you!

I like to eat well.  However, this will not stop me from gorging myself on foodstuffs with dubious-to-no nutritional content for no apparent reason.

I use prescription drugs, but not recreational drugs.

My Fashion is: Fashion? What's Fashion?

Fitness Level: I think about working out, and then I think that I'd much rather watch an archived episode of Buffy...

Hygiene: I'm fresh and clean

Kids: Can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em.  Seriously, fatherhood scares me to the point of losing bowel control.

I am not a pet person.  I never really cared for the feeding, the bathing, and the handling of biological waste product needed to ensure proper disposal.

Political Party: None of the above

Religion / Spirituality: Non-Religious

Smoking: I don't smoke
