What do you want to be when you grow up?
I'll alway be a kid at heart. But something with technology, deffinately. possiby law enforce ment or maybe some branch of military. Or I could end up Network admin at a highschool...
What makes you laugh?
Randomness. the stupidity of others(and sometimes myself) epic fails, n00bs, and hilarity in general. also others lack of understanding of technology.
What is the thing in life you treasure most?
Friends, Family, technology,internet, geekism (is that even a word?)
What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
Alot of stuff. Modding computers, fixing up old junk computers, creating my network, reading owners manuals the size of novels like a chapter book cover to cover, participating in the wiki projects, experimenting with linux, making my own computer hardware(cooling pads, cases, racks, etc) , building my web site (url up soon), and joining geeks probably counts for something too.
What do you do to entertain yourself?
Read, write, draw, paint, internet, make YT videos, chat, do geeky stuff, and athletics.
=music - Mostly mood dependent, a little of everything really. I listen to rock, metal, rap, medival, alternative, techno, classical like I said a bit of everything...
=movies - Too many to list. I enjoy alot of films. One of my favorites is accross the universe. I enjoyed eagle eye, the matrix, any with the "geeky touch", also some doucumentaries.
= books - I dont read as much as I used to. now its mostly manuals, how-tos, and internet articles, though once in awhile i enjoy a decent novel or chapter book.
= shows - Lost, Family guy, Simpsons, csi, ghost whisperer, and discovery channel when i can get it.
= artists - again too many too list. I like alot of artists on DA, and alot of musicians too.
= first person shooters, some strategy games, multiplayer games and some of those social ones on the internet. Id like to try out second life, and when i get high speed I'd like to play those multiplayer ones.
