Nerf'd

I'll come right out and warn you that this journal is most likely going to be way down the TMI alley at times. Mostly I pick up blogs because I want to write about things that are on my mind, and often these things are of the sex, video games, and rock'n'roll variety. What can I say? I'm just that kind of guy. I should also warn you that updates will most likely not be regular. My boyfriend and I play MMORPGs together, and a considerable chunk of my free time goes to that. With all of that out of the way...

I am, I like to think, your average 21 year old American boy. The only difference is that I very rarely drink and I don't watch television. Those are, I think, fairly minor deviations in the grand scheme of things. I could be wrong, I suppose. For all I know, the amount of time one has spent memorising episodes of The Simpsons and Family Guy are as important as the letter on one's driver's lisence or one's gender identity. For the purposes of this blog, however, we shall pretend that they are not.

As of the writing of this bio, I am living in a comfortably tiny apartment in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska with my boyfriend and our two cats. For a while we were thinking about getting married, but then someone politely informed us that gay marriage still isn't exactly legal in this state, so there went that plan. Oh well. Someday, right? One can hope. I'm sure as hell not relocating just so I can get less back every year from the IRS. I can learn to live without fringe benefits.

So what do I do with all of my non-TV-watching, non-binge-drinking time? Like I said, I play MMORPGs. And go to school. And sit on my ass in UNL's computer labs, watching people pretend they're not downloading pr0n. (Just kidding: they work. Really. But pr0n is funny.)

I'm two years into my Physics degree atm. I left a fairly uber university to divorce myself from my family and strike off on my own. Of course, when I decided to do this I took the most reasonable path and hopped on the first train headed for Lincoln, Nebraska that I could. See, my boyfriend lives out here (obviously), and I needed a place to stay. And so we have drama in a bottle.

Really, I try to avoid the drama, but it seems to chase me down, waving a broom over its head and screaming something about "How could you do this to me? I gave you the best years of my life!" Most of the time I'm left struggling to pull my pants up and run at the same time. *sigh* Such is life. I'm sure you'll run into the screaming wench if you read here long enough. She keeps coming back, despite her many promises that this time she's gone for good. What a queen, eh?

I'm a metalhead, a rocker, a jazz cat, a blues hound, a classical snob, and a techno dweeb. I'm a definite audiophile, and I will probably write about that particular interest often. I'm a closet anime fan, and a comicbook dork. My current game is EQ2, and my current genre is science fiction. Sadly, I don't have the time to keep up with all of my interests, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

Anyway, this is me. Enjoy.
