Big Sherlock Holmes fan.
Can't go wrong with most of the stuff from Neil Stephenson or Nancy A. Collins

A 'Genre' person, mostly dark electronic.

Craziest Thing I've Ever Done:
Depends, here's a few things I've done.
Made a pair of pants that displays my 'coin-purse' without the whole 'package' showing. Wore them around town and only two people noticed.
Skydiving.
Built a Butane-propelled launcher for golfballs (gets *hella* distance).
Built several large medieval weapons (catapult, trebuchet). Doesn't get a bowling ball as far as we thought :(
If I Could Be Anywhere Right Now:
I'd be in an abandoned Nuclear missile silo that's been converted to studio apartments.
Hobbies:
I went fishing once, came back with a deer.
Guys all told me I suck at fishing, but keep askin me to go huntin.
Went hunting, came back with a damn Sasquatch.
We're gettin' married in the spring.
I fucking HATE the outdoors now.
Seriously afraid of what would happen if I went camping.
Guy that taught me how to fish went camping once. Came back with COLD FUSION.
(pretty sure he fucked that up)
Talents:
Master of the Under-Handed Deed.
Perfect Mate:
Goth / Sophisti-Goth that is intellectual and well-read enough to know what she wants in a mate. Independent, yet willing to _share_ life with someone (and not be a 'dependent').
Perfect Date:
A moonlit dinner and walk at Stonehenge. With some swimming once down the cliffs.
Turn Ons/Offs:

Confident in thyself.
Passionate about *something*.

Solipsism (look it up),
Self-deceit,
Herd Conformity,
Lack of Perspective,
Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies,
Counterproductive Pride,
Lack of Aesthetics
Best Reason to Get to Know Me:
Armchair psychiatrist. I've seen/heard enough that I can at least offer an ear w/o being judgmental, and can give objective advice if asked.
