My self-summary
Well, that's a rather broad prompt, isn't it?

My chief interest is the telling of stories. Some of the happiest moments of my life are those spent among friends listening to and telling tales: nostalgia trips, recent experiences, jokes, quips, wild fabrications, baldfaced lies, it makes no difference. I am the kind of guy who will analyze a joke not to kill it, but to understand what makes it tick so it can be improved upon and hopefully reused.

Accordingly, I love storytelling media: books, TV, movies, videogames, and especially theatre and tabletop RPGs. Those last two are a major part of my life, as they represent storytelling in its most visceral form-- live, in-your-face, interactive. If you are interested in one of those things, we should get along just fine; if you are interested in both, why haven't you sent me a message yet?

I'm also interested in politics, miniature golf, moderately fine dining, hiking, being in the proximity of a beach, and staying indoors when it rains.
What I’m doing with my life
At the moment, I am trying to forge a career as a professional actor.

In practice, that means I've held a variety of odd-jobs over the course of the last couple years, juggled around my rehearsal schedule. Currently I am a tutor of English and History (and SAT gaming techniques, when SATs are in season), a job which seems to suit me moderately well.

I also direct when I can, write when I must, and DM a mean game of D&D. Add eating, sleeping, reading/gaming, and a modicum of social interaction, and that's basically my life.
I’m really good at
Words with Friends.
The first things people usually notice about me
The glasses? The beard, when I happen to have a beard, but that's only when I've grown it out for a role. I'm pretty energetic most of the time, so if everyone else is kind of slumping around, there's that.

Oh, and sometimes I wear bow ties to work. That tends to turn a few heads.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
In no particular order: Airplane!, the complete works of Shakespeare, klezmer and classical, Star Trek, the complete works of Stoppard, Nabokov, Tom Waits, J. R. R. Tolkien (in theory), George R. R. Martin (in practice), House of Cards (British and American iterations), Swedish folk music, Neil Gaiman, The West Wing, Morcheeba, most Broadway musicals, and lemon meringue pie.
The six things I could never do without
-Tabletop Games
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how to save American theatre (which tends to be a depressing line of thought) and tabletop roleplaying games (which doesn't).
On a typical Friday night I am
probably in rehearsal. If not, then in performance.

Rarely, if neither of these are the case, I am likely either hanging out with my roommates (an activity which consists of deep philosophical discussions and Super Smash Brothers Melee in equal measure) or recuperating from the stresses of the week with a book or computer game.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I dream reliably, about once per month, about being on a crashing airplane.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 18–26
  • Near me
You should message me if
any of the above appeals to you. Hell, if you managed to read the whole thing, you might as well message me just so I can congratulate you on getting through it all.

I've checked every box in the 'for' section of the 'I'm looking for' field because I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. I've never had a long-distance penpal before, but it seemed like it might be interesting. The same, come to think, goes for casual sex. In my experience, 'short-term dating' is just another term for 'long-term dating that didn't keep going', but I could be wrong.

In short, I'm interested in meeting you at whatever level you're interested in meeting me.
