Aestieganger, 39

Might as well start with the basics. I'm an Engineering student at Cal State LA with aspirations involving a desk, a comfy chair, and many many buttons to push. I fund myself by teaching 7th and 8th graders algebra, and I'm frequently subjected to a strange phenomenon involving the disappearance of a good chunk of my paycheck, and the subsequent arrival of various anime, literature, computer nick knacks, and assorted gaming implements. Truly we live in a strange, strange world.

Things I'm into: Anime, Manga, Video Games(mostly RPGs), MMORPGs, Reading(mostly sci-fi/fantasy), Tabletop gaming(40k). I'm a big fan of anything involving sci-fi or fantasy, though while I enjoy both genres equally, I'd have to say my expertise lies in the latter. I found an old picture book of the Sword and the Stone when I was a kid, and as they say, the rest is history.
Things I'm not into: Clubbing, smoking, drinking. I still associate with people who do the first three(I don't judge), it's just not my scene.
I joined this site because I thought I might have a better chance finding like-minded folk within my own demograph, and because I'm a hopeless romantic utterly convinced that my "special someone" is out there somewhere, contrary to...well, more evidence than I'd like to admit =).
