Hello, friends, followers, and other assorted shadowy figures lurking in the backgrounds of our peripheral vision, biding your time, awaiting the moment to emerge from the depths of our familiar oblivions to strike us down, quietly, one by one.

Sorry, I'm on a Night Vale kick.

Anyways.

I'm going to try and at least make this account a little more active than how it's been. I figured this'd be a nice place to start: the Getting to Know Me thing! Yes, another one to spam your notifications. Huzzah!

Here we go...

What's your real name?
If you so wish, refer to me as Ryan.

How tall are you?
Just shy of 6 feet.

What's your natural hair color?
Depends on the time of year. During the summer, my hair is the colour of freshly peeled carrots and ginger, but during the wintertime, it looks like the color of cherry wood mixed with the color of fire.

In less poetic terms, I'm a ginger.

What's your eye color?
Ice Blue. Think the color of deep, deep snow that with just a tinge of ice that goes on across a plain.

What's your orientation?
Straight.

Are you single, taken or undecided?
Taken by a lovely lady who has yet to embrace the wonders and silliness of the fandom.

What do you do in your spare time?
I play my trumpet, guitar,

What's your job or occupation?
I'm a farmer, college student, writer, and person who tries to explain modern technology to people who don't want to understand it even when they ask me.

What do you like about yourself?
The fact that I have the ability to see the world in connections and can have an idea of what to do in case of something or how things might pan out after an event.

What do you dislike about yourself?
The fact that I become stressed over virtually everything, even if it isn't very significant in the larger scheme of things.

What did your friends notice about you when they first met you?
Probably the fact that I'm a ginger.

What is your belief/religion if you believe in anything at all?
I'm a confirmed Catholic, but I go about my spirituality in my own way.

Do you drink?
I dig Spiced Rum and things of that nature, but I won't drink for no reason. Typically, I'll only do so if I'm with friends or family for some particular reason or holiday or something. Aside from that, I'm not too keen on it.

Do you smoke?
No thanks. I don't find it appealing.

What are your major fears?
Being alone, or worse, being around people who make me feel alone anyways.

Do you have any dreams or goals?
To make a serious impact on the way we see food, and to make people motivated to grow their own food or to use localized sources with total transparency.

Have you ever had a crush or an ex?
Oh ya.

Who's your best buddy?
My best furiend is littlecitra over on FA.

What's your favorite dish?
A medium-rare Fillet Mignon with some kind of fancy cheese sauce and some sliced-up scallions or something. Ah, I don't remember. I had this positively wonderful one of those things when I was on a cruise ship headed to the Bahamas. It was nice.

What's your favorite drink?
Oh, I love me some Green tea. Won't hardly go a day without it.

What's your favorite color?
Blue! No, Yelloooooooooooooooooooooo!

(But seriously, The color of pine needles under snow.)

If you had a super power, what would it be?
I'd like to be a sort of social savant. I'd like to be able to innately understand what people are thinking and how to be able to react in the best possible way. I know, it seems like a lame superpower, but I would really enjoy being able to be poetic and debonair off paper as well as on it.

What's your favorite movie?
Ooh, that's a tough one. I've got a few favourites, though, including:

• Snatch
• Prisoners
• Her
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail
• Inception
• Blade Runner

What's your favorite book?
Another tough one. So, here's some of my favourites:

• Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett

Most forms of fish.

What's the last meal you want before you die?
I dunno. I'm focused on being alive right now, thank you very much.

What do you drive and what would you really like to drive?
I currently own a 2004 Dodge Durango. She isn't the best on gas, but she gets the job done. I'm probably going to be hunting for a newer Dart once I have the time and the cash. But what I would REALLY like to drive is a Tesla Model S. But we can't always have what we want, I guess. One of these days...

What is your most disliked bug?
Probably would have to be the blasted mosquito.

What pet peeves do you dislike the most?
When people have no desire to even recognize they did something wrong.

What do you dislike in life?
Isolation.
