So. Me. My least favorite topic. Well, I'm 38, about 235 lbs, brown hair and eyes, and decidedly non-athletic. I have exercise induced asthma, and am naturally nocturnal, being descended from a long line of musicians on both sides of my family. I myself am a system administrator as I didn't want my children to starve like I did. Having been married 4 times, ironically, it's I that now starve, since most of what I make goes to said children. Like a glutton for punishment, I want more kids. I mean, hey, just because I married Mrs. Wrong-for-me 4 times doesn't mean that NO ONE out there can put up with my neurotic bullshit, er, I mean, winning personality! (Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!)

I'm both Buddhist and Catholic. And if you're also Catholic and marriage minded, be warned now that I can't get married in the Church for obvious reasons. Ask #4 to get an annulment first or something, anyway. I'm not that interested. Mind you, it's not that I don't want to get married, and it's not that marriage isn't a big deal - it's more that I am filled with ennui at the prospect of another divorce. So, Mrs. 5 will have to be very very special, and must have large breasts! Ok, so, I'm kidding about the breasts, but hey, I can dream, right?

I love film. If I were to list all the movies I like here, I'd run the webserver out of drive space. Some of my all time favorites however include, 1985's camp classic Clue, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, The Matrix, 2001:A Space Oddesy, The Breakfast Club, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, But I'm A Cheerleader, etc. etc. etc. Yes, I am a child of the '80's.

I also love music. I play bass, and I can sing reasonably well. I've been paid to sing, and I've played bass in front of a crowd of 20000, so I can't be too bad. I guess. Not my main focus (see notes above about children not starving). A lot of the music I like the most will be things you've most likely not heard of. Take for example Merryn Cadell. Truly brilliant, but Canadian, so I doubt you've heard of her. Some of the stuff I like that you might have heard of include NOFX, Oingo Boingo, "Weird" Al Yankovic, The Great Luke Ski, Ani DiFranco, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Richard Cheese and much, much more.

I love to play games. Games are one of my primary diversions in life. I mostly like roll playing games, and I don't mean these new, fake computer based RPG's. If you like RPG's, I play just about anything (except for Rollmaster and Spacemaster, which I like to refer to as Chartmaster). System really does matter when playing RPG's. You can tell anyone who says otherwise that I said they were wrong, ok!?! :-) I like to play in white-wolf's World of Darkness setting the most. The WoD games include Vampire, Mage, Werewolf, Promethian, and Changeling.

I have some college education, but have lately been thinking that it would be a good idea to go back and actually finish my degree. I'm not sure if I want to major in Computer Science, or English. I'm leaning toward English with a CS minor, since what I really want to do is write for a living.

That brings up books. Books and authors I like include Varley, Asimov, Tolkien, Heinlein, Moorcock, Brooks, Clavell, Rowling and many more. I loved the Harry Potter series, and Brooks' Shanara books are very under rated. I must confess that I do have a guilty pleasure - Star Wars books. Yes, I know, I know. Still. I can't help it! I am also a HUGE comic book fan. Most X titles (like Uncanny X-Men) but also Spiderman, Daredevil, Avengers, Iron Man and many more. If you haven't read Alan Moore's The Watchmen, then I am not suprised that you don't take comic's seriously. Read it. Seriously. It's worth it.

I'm also a huge fan of Japanamation like manga and anime. Things like Vampire Hunter D, Macross, or Robotech as it was called here in the US, Akira and more modern stuff like Ghost in the Shell which I absolutely love.
