What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

Eclectic

About Me:

I'm your average 20 year old Notorious Mandog. Mostly just chill with friends and have leisurely encounters with police officers. I enjoy a good book, that's why I rarely read. I love great stories and awesome characters in anything, especially real life. Like I said, average.

So, now that I've had time to acclimate to being a Nerdfighter, instead of running into it headfirst like I did (which is one of the top three ways to do things... number three is to politely ask it to solve itself for you, number two is running in headfirst and number one is via punching) I can adjust some of my profile.

More about me, I'm an avid fan of doing anything just so you could have done it, especially if you know you're going to fail horribly at it. I dislike backing down from a challenge and often times when someone jokingly issues a challenge I'll do it just because it's a challenge. Right now I'm a college student at a local community (or junior) college studying to be a programmer via a major in Computer Information Sciences. I would like to transfer schools soon, preferably to a Cal State University, but due to the poor economy and it's impact on public schools I'm having a hard time getting classes I need. My dream job would to be paid to learn, take classes in everything, knowledge intrigues me and always has. Although I probably was prodigal (maybe not all that much, but still) as a child, it mostly bred laziness and a lack of desire to do busy work. I would often hear the phrase, "Does not live up to potential/expectation." through-out my academic career. I think that's a decent summary of me.

Since there's not a place for hobbies I'm making one right...

Hobbies:

-Well I usually list "general awesomeness" as a hobby, but seeing as we're Nerdfighters, that's a given.
-Acting more narcissistic than I really am
-Improvisational Theater
-Chess-Boxing (I have yet to try it, but I want to start a league)
-Urban Exploring
-Music (I play the clarinet and the saxophone)
-Using ellipses, I haven't used it often here, but that's because I'm refraining
-Bullet points
-et al.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more

Paper Towns, Invisible Monsters, Looking For Alaska, Hitchiker's "Trilogy", An Abundance of Katherines... mostly in that order. I'm not much of a person who reads, I'm always intrigued by reading, but unless I finish a book in a few sittings I never pick it up again, which leaves me reading books I've been capable of reading since I was five (not to say that they're remedial, just that I've read at a collegiate-post collegiate level since I was young)

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?

I like to create towers on my head, though they usually end poorly, with me catching two to three of the items that fall.

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
