Date of Birth

Age
You've got to be joking. You mean to tell me that you can't subtract 1979 from
the current date and year?
C'mon. It's standard procedure in these things.
Fine. I'm 23 years old.
Sex?
But I barely know you and--
Are you a girl or guy, wise ass?
Duh. A guy.
Heh heh heh. Well, some would say it's not that obvi--
You continue with that that joke, and I close your table data.
"......"
That's better. Next question.
Hair Color
Chestnut Brown
Eye Color
In the spring, they're a bright blue. The rest of the year, they're an odd
green-hazel tint. Plus, in my right eye, I have these 3 red streaks leading from
my pupil to the edge of my iris.
Height
If I don't slouch, 5' 8". I walked around for years thinking I was 5'
9". Now, I'm shorter than Teller. Sigh.
Marital Status
^_^
Current Residence
New Brunswick, New Jersey. Hometown of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, the
crappiest college football team ever.
Occupation
Freelance graphic designer.
Did I enjoy working at Blockbuster?
See for yourself.
Religious Preference
Agnostic/lapsed Wiccan.
Hobbies/Interests
Reading (my favorite genres are fantasy, humor or non-fiction), writing prose,
collecting dragon-related shtuffs, video game playing, Role Playing (pen and
paper, table-top, or video game-- it's all good) listening to or arranging music, Web
design, singing (used to be in a chorus, now it's in the shower until Barbershop
Quartet season starts again), attempting to create computer art, sleeping, and
damn near anything with "Pokémon" in the title.
Musical Tastes
My musical tastes are all over the board, really. While there are genres of
music that I may not actively seek out (rap, most country & western), there
really aren't any forms that I can say I totally dislike, 'cause I can usually
name at least one artist in a category that I enjoy listening to. I do
especially enjoy jazz, techno, classical and Irish Folk. Video Game soundtracks
that incorporate these styles are a plus (probably explains why I like the
arranged Chrono Cross and Xenogears soundtracks so much).
School Currently Attending:
Um.. none right now. I graduated high school in '97, and didn't have the
resources to attend. I DO want to eventually go to college and get my BA in
graphic design.
Dragon Stuffies Owned
Three. A Cornwallis/Devon stuffy from "The Quest
From Camelot", one stuffed 11" purple dragon with a silly grin and
glittery wings and a yellow tummy, an official 6" Figment doll, and a
Toroth stuffy (actually an Ord doll from Dragon Tales, but close enough). I also
now have a cool silver painted dragon figurine that Mark got me for Xmas.
Guilty Pleasures
Watching cutesy cartoons, eating
cookie dough straight from the tube, falling asleep clutching my purple dragon
stuffy (or at least with it nearby), tremendously gory video games with lots and
lots of explosions, Beavis and Butthead, South Park, junk food.
Favorite Pokémon
Pikachu (who doesn't?), Charmander (kawaii AND dragony! ^_^), Squirtle, and
Meowth. And Togepi, from Silver.^_~
Pokémon Merchandise Owned
One KFC Dratini beanie (Thanks, BJ! ^_^), a Charizard key chain, a inch tall
Beedril figure, 4 import posters, 1 official poster, some assorted stickers, a
Meowth stuffy, The entire The Electric Tale of Pikachu series, up to
issue #4 of Pikachu Shocks Back, a pokéball key chain that opens up to
reveal a Charmeleon, and (of course), the red version
of the game.
Apologies To
Kupek and Tort for so blatantly ripping off the format and idea. Both of you
should be really flattered. ^_^
