About me:
For much of my life, I was focused on becoming an evil genius. I’m taking a break from that right now because it’s exhausting work. My level of honesty with my friends goes beyond “tell me what you really think” into “why did you have to tell me that?” This doesn’t stop me from being devious toward the rest of the world.
I will occasionally spend an entire afternoon playing movies for people just so they get all the jokes in a South Park episode. The only time I read the mainstream news is to decipher articles in The Onion. Not only do I have a Tivo, it’s a salvaged one I nursed back to life after two major organ failures just to test my skills. Watching TV without some sort of DVR drives me crazy. I am down to only one iPod now, after reaching a peak of three at one point. Don’t ask how many computers I have around here because I lost count. To balance this geekiness, I cook constantly, gamble, and hang out at the gym:
You are Hulk

| Green Lantern |

You are a wanderer with
amazing strength.

My favorite place to go out is Dave and Busters. I win so many things from claw machines and similar games of modest skill that I have a network of people just to distribute the booty. Partly as a result, children and animals both think I’m awesome. Those were never the two demographics I wanted to be popular with, but that’s what I’ve got.
I’m moderately bummed at living in Baltimore and am constantly scheming to return to living in Manhattan again. People with bad grammar drive me crazy, but not as much as those who type with abbreviations; I only reply to comments like that with “u r teh sux0r”. I’ve been getting paid to write things for over a decade, but still don’t really think of myself as a writer. I do regularly compose messages notifying people of blatant errors in either the content or English of their profile. Most of the time I have enough self-control to delete these instead of sending them. Most of the time.

Who I'd like to meet:
I already have a full weekday social schedule, including overly competitive bar trivia, watching horror movies with friends, organizing a group that searches for new and interesting bars (even though I rarely drink), and even watching friends doing poetry SLAMs. Am always looking for new people that fit into one of those events.
As myself and everyone I hang out with are all far too clever to be nice, the ability to tolerate extreme sarcasm, a heavy load of jokes based on relatively obscure references, and random mocking of others is a must. For example: let's say you're out at dinner, and someone at the next table begins doing something stupid. If your first reaction is to notify everyone else you're with so they don't miss laughing at them too, you're the kind of person I like to be around.
