I prefer spotty kitties that are a bit older... <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I've always been a fan of sci-fi and fantasy. I've also enjoyed roll-playing games, like D&D, Star Wars RPG, and CyberPunk. (I wanna cast Magic Missile!)

<IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> Sterotypes, sterotypes...this is a nuclear launch waiting to happen...(lol) Actually to see me, the untrained eye would probably classify me as thug-type character, until you see me playing with my Handspring Visor. Or discussing computers. Or Star Trek. Or Anime. You get the idea. I happen to enjoy a great many things outside the realm of computers, because there are some days you just don't want to have ANYTHING to do with them (admit it ya'll!). But a geek? Hardly. 13? Far from it. And spots don't even enter into it. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I hardly meet it at all, maybe when i was very young...but not now, to look at me, you'd think i worked at a CD store, or something like that.

I do like Sci-fi, but i think most people do...duh, and yea, i've been known to play Magic: the Gathering(I'd keel you all > <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> and other video games...but thats about as far as the stereo type goes.

I am kind of the clash of the Geek and Jock world...heres why

I was captain of the Wrestling team, but while waiting to wrestle I played magic the gathering

I lift weights for 1 1/2 hours a day, but play my Game boy advance while resting.

I dont live with my parents, but I live with alot of computers.

The list goes on but I dont want to embarass myself

people stereo type me, at work they think i get high everytime i come to work, just because im always laughing in a crappy help desk job. im not happy about the job i just have to take my mind off that i work here. but every once in a while i do get HAPPY by some kind of chemicals or liquids heehehhe
BUT NEVER AT WORK. (IM SAVING THAT WHEN I QUIT)
also when i had long hair people thought i was a stoner and now i shave my head and im bald. hheeeheheheh im a kick a$$ 23 yr. old
