(not quite the) get to know me meme by jonas

I don't feel like listing everything about myself, so here's what I feel comfortable sharing.

I'm in my late thirties, half-Asian, bisexual (mostly female-biased), single, not looking. I was raised Reform Jewish but arguably haven't really kept the faith.

If you're into the whole Myers-Briggs thing, I'm INTJ. I can fake extroversion pretty well, and I'll open up to people I know intimately, but generally in social situations I'm a weird combination of smartass and wallflower.

I love Earl Gray tea, coconut flavored anything, Thai curries, and, as everyone knows, bagels. :P I hate mushrooms, spam, dim sum, seafood and sea life in general.

I tend to shop at Army surplus stores for my casual clothes. I HATE suits and dressing up. My favorite color is red, although I tend to mostly wear green or black.

For fun I like hitting up natural spaces (especially the California redwoods), geocaching, photography, visiting ghost towns and abandoned places, and obsessing over wacky stuff in the desert like the Mojave Phone Booth.

As far as sit-on-my-ass hobbies go, I like shortwave DXing, playing puzzle games like Portal, card games like poker and blackjack, '80s-era console stuff (or anything reminiscent of it), and watching anime (usually of the crazed Gainax variety, like FLCL).

I like most kinds of electronic music, '80s music, chiptunes, third-wave ska, outsider music, and deliberately horrible punk covers of old favorites. My favorite podcast is the Nerdist.

I spent my childhood in the Bay Area and my teenage years in Los Angeles. I've been to eighteen states in the U.S, one province in Canada, and roadtripped across half of Mexico as a teenager. I've been to Burning Man, Space Camp, a World Expo, and over twenty conventions.

I've been in fandom a long time, and I used to be a lot more hyper and spastic and annoying. I've mellowed out a lot, thanks in a big part to the grace and patience of my friends. I used to have a webcomic called Dume which I hope to someday revive, although I have a lot of life stuff to figure out first.

That's all the important stuff, although if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

    I have no idea how I'm supposed to see all these journals and think "Why is everyone else so dang cool."

    • Link

      Am I cool? XD FINALLY! I'm one of the cool guys!

    • Link

      In all sincerity, thank you, I do appreciate the compliment even if I don't deserve it. x)

      • Link

        No problem! Make sure to let us all know the second you'll be starting up a webcomic again though, I love readin' 'em, and I love what you do, so I bet it'll interest me at least.

    Hail fellow INTJ.

    Half-Asian, eh? What flavour of Asia, if you don't mind me asking?

    I'm quarter-Japanese, myself, which means I get the brunt of a lot of jokes about how perverse and bizarre "my country" is. Mostly just from my partner, admittedly.

      Chinese. Our family left about three generations ago, so not much of the cultural baggage was passed down to me.

  • Link

    YEAH I GOT A QUESTION HOW COME YOU'RE SUCH A JERKBOAT

  • Link

    This says nothing about that second face you have in the middle of your chest, nor why it only speaks broken Russian and often whistles in tones too high for the human ear to pick up.

      Look, I had to absorb Sergei, alright? He was a liability, plus his secrets were useful.

  • Link

    No the important thing is you've never had poutine.

    • Link

      Heh, yeah, you have a point there.

      • Link

        gasp!

      • Link

        Indeed.You have not known life until you have had your arteries clogged by poutine. nods :D

  • Link

    So you're not dating anyone?

    • Link

      Nah.

  • Link

    See, now this is a good and proper introduction. I have been striving to write one like this since I started using the internet, practically. I am jealous of you intro, is that odd?

    I've pondered now and then about trying geocaching, but I don't know much about it. Seems like a weird and neat thing, though. Don't you do something like hide tokens, then other people find them?

    • Link

      Heh heh, thanks. x)

      With Geocaching, sometimes it's tokens, sometimes it's little random junk (like foreign coins, or a penlight, or a kazoo, or whatever), and you take something and leave something else. Once in a great while rich folks will put out geocaches with actual nice stuff in 'em, although that's pretty rare. It's a fun thing to do if you like hiking, kinda feels like treasure hunting.

      • Link

        That sounds pretty neat! I kind of want to look into it, but I already have so many hobbies, ugh. Still, it'd be good to get outside for once.

    What was the creepiest abandoned place you visited? owo and have you watched sherlock hound in the past?
