Obsessive, goofy, and bookish. I'm friendly but I dislike small talk, prefering games, serious discussion, or just sitting around reading books or watching movies together. I have some pretty involved role-playing games that I'm into. I also like partying and dancing but only every once in a while.

Fellow bookish gamers, film buffs, or people to go party with.
