I love movies, music, reading, writing (my dream career), technology, psychology, philosophy/mythology, and finance/investing. I am also a total geek that loves sci-fi/horror/fantasy/goth/superhero stuff - and YES I love D&D (all editions except the current 4th which isn't really D&D anyway). I am also a TOTAL Anglophile. As for travel - I have been to about half the States (including Alaska & Hawaii), Guam, and the Philippines. I dream of going to Scotland (well, the UK/Ireland in general), back to Japan for a proper visit, New Zealand, and Vienna the most. It's kind of sad really, but when I am not out with friends, and I'm at home alone, I love nothing more than to have a pint of ale or two with some fiery Indian curry while I write, read, listen to music, or watch movies/UK TV. I love going for long walks at night too (plus I am a TOTAL night-owl/nocturnal). I love the idea of exploring the local club scene with friends, but I'm just way too shy and boring - lol. (Apparently I am a classic "Virgo", if you believe in that sort of nonsense)

I guess you can pretty much figure out my interests from the column to the left of my page, which also happens to explain quite a deal more about me. In short though, I guess I am your run of the mill geek, nerd, and dork combined (plus, as if that wasn't bad enough - bi as well). Yep, that's right - pretty much a complete loser. I spend most of my time - when I am not working - either reading/studying (non-fiction), writing (fiction), web surfing or watching movies/UK TV. I love cloudy, rainy days and I am almost completely nocturnal by nature.

Hey boss, thanks for the add. By the way, where did you get that Mystic Theurge thing from? I so want to take that test. Hopefully, Exalted Arcanist is one of the possible outcomes.
