Getting to know meMeme by mechedragon

Everyone else was doing one of these and I could use a journal entry!

What's your real name?
Zack

How tall are you?
6'6"

What's your natural hair color?
Black

What's your eye color?
Brown

What's your orientation?
Gay, not militantly, I just seem to click better with guys.

Are you single, taken or undecided?
Taken

What do you do in your spare time?
Hang out with friends, spend waaaay too much time doing furry stuff online, cook, draw.

What's your job or occupation?
I'm a mechanical engineer and spend most of my time designing, analyzing, and programming robots. You might have even seen my work. I'm absolutely in love with what I do and it results in little of that spare time thing mentioned above.

What do you like about yourself?
I'm told I'm pretty good at what I do for work, reasonably smart and well-tempered.

What do you dislike about yourself?
I have a lot of trouble getting motivated to do anything that isn't really mentally engaging. Things like running errands, exercise, cleaning. I've also got some social anxiety issues that keep me from doing a lot of things I'd like.

What did your friends notice about you when they first met you?
Probably first that I'm huge and then that I tend to be very quiet. I usually only talk when I think I have something worthwhile to say.

What is your belief/religion if you believe in anything at all?
None. Well, I believe that we're alive right now and that we both are independently conscious.

Do you drink?
I love myself some scotch and wine, don't really hit the stuff too hard any more though.

Do you smoke?
I'll have a cigar or hit a hookah in social situations, but won't seek it out independently, maybe once a month.

What are your major fears?
I'm always thinking about what other people think of me, whether I'm doing something dumb or awkward or whatever!

Do you have any dreams or goals?
I'm always striving to be at the top of my occupation and create awesome things. Besides that I've got the goals of staying healthy and being better socially engaged.

Have you ever had a crush or an ex?
Yes on both, both wonderful experiences.

Who's your best buddy?
My boyfriend is great, and I've got a bunch of great friends (both inside and outside the fandom) but I don't know if I'd declare anyone to be best buddy. I'd love to get one someday though.

What's your favorite dish?
Cavatelli with chicken and butter and garlic sauce. When made by the local Italian restaurant back home in New Jersey it's the single greatest thing ever.

What's your favorite drink?
Coffee. Should probably drink less of it, but I totally love my coffee.

What's your favorite color?
Not too particular, but I usually go for green.

If you had a super power, what would it be?
If something I currently do was a super power? People often make Tony Stark references about me unprompted, I can make almost anything out of anything. If I could have any super power I wanted, most definitely shape/size shifting.

What's your favorite movie?
That's a tough one, I'd have to go with Wall-E at the moment, it's liable to change by the month though.

What's your least favorite food?
Least favorite, like most middling food? I'm utterly indifferent to rice. Most hated food? Beans, mostly a texture thing.

What's the last meal you want before you die?
A gallon of mint chip ice cream.

What do you drive and what would you really like to drive?
I drive a Honda Fit most of the time, also have a 1934 Ford hot rod coupe that I built with my dad. I'm currently looking for something a little nicer than the Fit, maybe a BMW X3 or something, but I've got a couple ideas for completely custom cars that I'd love to get the time to build someday.

What is your most disliked bug?
Wasps, easily.

What pet peeves do you dislike the most?
I tend to be extremely easygoing and have little in the way of pet peeves.

What do you dislike in life?
There's some much awesome stuff happening all the time that I won't get to be a part of, often because I'm just too lazy or anxious to get out and do it!

    Why worry about drinking less coffee? It's yummy and if it's unhealthy in any way it's not statistically detectable.

      I always wonder if I'd be more productive without the peaks, but you're probably right. Right now I'll often get a ton done in a four hour stretch and then be lazy or easily distracted for the rest of the day. I'm just lucky that people seem to think that my four hours is really good.

        It's not really human to do a four-hour stretch without a break and without being zonked for a few hours afterward. Maybe you could consider pacing your workflow?

          Maybe! There's some element of warped expectations too, you know how it is working alongside the kind of people who are just always doing mind-blowing stuff all day ;)
