About me: I am a member of a large group of friends affectionately referred to as the Armada. I live in central Illinois in a nice little house with my best friend (now my wife).
I am a graphic designer by trade and I have been drawing or doing something creative ever since I could hold a crayon.
I am also a movie buff and avid reader. If it's on celuloid or between the pages of a book, it won't take much to get me interested. Because of this, a large portion of my brain is devoted to movie quotes, ficticious names, and other random minutiae. Other, arguably more important, information has been sacrificed.
At least I am pretty sure that is what happened to 6th grade, spanish, several significant historical dates, the location of at least 4 wrist watches, twice as many pairs of sunglasses.
Who I'd like to meet: Directors:
Steven Speilberg, Peter Jackson, Jim Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Bryan Singer, Sam Rami
Authors:
Alan Moore, Stephen King, Neil Gaimen, Clive Barker, Anne Rice, Nick Hornby, Jeff Lindsay

We finally finished Firefly. Now my list of goals in life has a new addition: find TV execs who cancelled Firefly. Give them a stern talking to. Follow up with a general beating about the head and shoulders, and scrotal region, if applicable. Fart in their general direction. Repeat as needed until satisfied or until too exhausted to continue application of crippling blows.
Hey, thanks for the Kick-ass bash last night! It was awesome having everyone all together at once again. good luck with marraige, i know you won't need it.
