L2av, 40

I am the oldest out of 4 children . As my mother would say, "he is the only good kid, the rest are all bad apples". My dad had me hooked on NES before I could read the menus. This early introduction to electronics has set my life's tone ever since. Although my dad is a gamer, he doesn't fit the description of a nerd nor does any of my other family members. This has lead to my brother and older sister into formulating a conspiracy theory involving mom and a random guy working for nintendo, although they never found evidence to support such claims. I developed other interest too, such as gardening and I also had a brief artistic period.

I am addicted to computers and computer technology, but it was not always so. I didn't get my first computer until I was a junior in high school. I eventually saved up some cash and built my first computer, a whopping 1ghz with 512megs and a Geforce3ti. I've been building computers ever since.

During high school I joined the Army National Guard. I figured, easy college money and I'd never do anything. After I graduated High School I was activated and shipped to Iraq. In the Army I was a truck driver. Many people find it funny when I show them pictures of me carrying a weapon or driving a truck. A few years after that my enlistment ended and I continued college.

Aside from that "brief" interruption, I have been working hard in college. I got an associated degree in Network Technology and then transferred to a university. I am currently a senior with a 3.8 GPA. After I get my bachelors I'm probably going to try for a masters.

I spend most of my time doing programming, gaming, and listening to Winamp. I am known to be shy, but I do socialize with people.

I am looking for a soul mate, friends, and people who share my interests. Generally if you enjoy either gaming, programming, computers, or all of the above you fit the bill.
