Sarcawesome, 37

I find it hard to fill this section out. When told to describe one’s self without being given any specific parameters it’s hard to figure out exactly what fits. Much like a sandbox where the only limiting factors are the tools around me and my own imagination; I find myself sitting around waiting for something more interesting to happen. It doesn’t help that I often find myself exhibiting two extremes of the same spectrum.

So without further stalling - I’m Justin, a twenty-something surviving a “good” entry level job and I’m sure by now (what, 50 words in?) my eccentricity has already been made apparent. As you may have figured out from my username, I’m a pretty big fan of sarcasm and the creative application of wit. Not the kind that’s an excuse to insult people mind you. I pride myself in knowing when enough is enough and where the line between good fun and d---ery lies. Having said that I’m sure the rest of this will read as boring and tame. Damn you Murphy.

Oh, yeah! Before I forget, one minor thing I should mention. I’m a nerd. Or a geek. Or whatever the youngin’s prefer now. Whether it be vidja games, books, Tabletop RPGs, Boardgames, Anime, or what have you. They’re all expressions of what I justify (hah!) as extensions of my creative side. Despite that I’m not beholden to the title, nor am I any kind of caricature that one would think of when one thinks of nerds. Back in my Highschool days I often described myself as an Alpha nerd, but that was when I used to be (more) pretentious . Between my height and personality it’s not the first conclusion some one would come to upon meeting me. Or maybe it is, I’m not a telepath. Yet.

Hmm.... what else?

I’m a hard worker. Not in the sense some people use that term, but in the sense that I actually work hard labor. Like the rest of my family I tend to be too stubborn to know when to give up; and my job has been a surprisingly good outlet for that. Last Christmas I was moving a quarter of a million pound
