Things I am into: Learning and sharing knowledge. Traveling. Staying up late. Minimalism and simplicity. Brutal honesty. Science fiction and non-fiction. History. Old architecture. Pretty much anything old-timey. Good movies. Solving problems. Web design. Macs. Classic video games and arcades. Poker. Vintage mopeds and small motorcycles. Classic rock. Using proper grammar. Procrastination and general laziness. Cephalopods. Girls with glasses. Playing devil's advocate. Secretly judging you. A portable existence.
Things I am not into: Smoking. Drinking. Drugs. Labels. Worrying. Waking up early. 9 to 5 jobs. Authority. Obligations. Peer pressure. Self-righteousness. Coffee. Any food that is spicy or invertebrate. Pseudo-intellectual elitism. Any other -ism. Most modern video games. Thinking I'm too old for anything, and anyone that does. Flakes. Hipsters. Attention whores. Most people in general. SUVs. Sportsbikes. Reality television. Dealing with emotions, especially other people's. Holding grudges. Taking sides. Doing things out of spite. Small talk. Dicking or being dicked around. Silly mind games. Clear heels. Obsessive hair removal. Doing something to be seen, or going somewhere because it's hip.
Things that make me happy: Having a long conversation with someone I care about. Having someone like me despite and maybe because of my idiosyncrasies. Having someone ask me about my day. The Pacific Northwest. A bright sunny day after a long stretch of cloudy rainy days. The smell of pine while riding through a winding mountain road. The beach at sunset. An intuitive user interface. Eureka moments. Greasy spoon diners, and eating breakfast in them at odd hours. Winning through sheer skill. Teaching others. Living by my own rules.
Things that make me sad:
Passive Agression. Immaturity. Hippocracy. Regret. Unmet expectations. Missed opportunities. Unrequited love. Misunderstandings. Indifference. Incompetence. Ignorance. Condescension. Douchebaggery. Ulterior motives. Manipulative and manipulated people. An unwielding belief in something despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Inflicting those beliefs on others. People's general fear of being or doing things alone. Saying one thing and doing another. Plans falling through. Wasted money. The situations I get myself into due to bad judgement and absent-mindedness. Never having a running moped. People who throw away old computers. How every TV show I like gets cancelled. How almost every night time activity involves drinking. The woefully small amount of things open in the middle of the night.
Things I'm attracted to: Freaks. Geeks. Intelligence. Acerbic wit. Dark hair. Light eyes. Fair skin. Freckles. Bellies. Hips. The area between a girl's chin and neck, the area where her butt meets her thigh, the side of her pelvis, and the small of her back. Wifebeaters. Boy-cut panties. Glasses. A foul mouth. Feistiness. Girls that don't act like girls. Girls that are comfortable with their body, but are not conceited about it.
