Oblvndrgn, 41

I'm a totally geeky twenty-something living out in New Jersey. I grew up on Long Island and went to college in the hinterlands of upstate NY. I'm pretty hyper, a bit short and scrawny, and I work my 9-5 job with computers, so I'm sure I could be straight from central casting, techy cliche #2b.

I’m proud of my geekdom, or I wouldn’t be registering on this site! I play World of Warcraft a few days each week with some good friends (and 20 other random people). My friends get together to play Rock Band, I play all sorts of games by myself rather than watch a movie or TV. Not that I don't do those, but given a choice between a cable special and the Xbox, well, it's usually a pretty easy call. I've played all sorts of things, though RPGs have always been one of my first loves and I still play. They don't make adventure games like they used to, but anyone who remembers Monkey Island, Quest for Glory, or recognizes the name Bobbin Threadbare is probably going to be one of my best friends.

In non-gaming news, I also like going outside (sometimes. I mean, after I beat Nyx), I snowboard very poorly and I love the beach but it's a lot harder to find “mildly well balanced but enjoys spending time curled up on the couch more than anything else passions.com.” I'm getting pretty good at cooking and I enjoy that, and I'm enjoying making my own sushi which is itself pretty geeky.

As for the less than wholly platonic points of view, I suppose that I'm on this site because I'm looking for someone who enjoys the same hobby. I'm not looking for a date who wants to play games 6 hours a day and never go out because that's kind of silly, but someone who enjoys curling up on the couch and playing a game together would probably be a pretty good match, assuming we have a few other things in common. The real test of a relationship, after all, is how much you can enjoy just hanging out together.
