I like creative and intellectual pursuits, and once I find a subject that interests me I throw myself into it wholeheartedly.

I enjoy brewing beer, good whiskey (mostly bourbon, but I've enjoyed the occasional scotch), technology, astronomy, folklore and mythology, comic books, atheism and skepticism, gaming of all kinds, and many other things.

I love roller derby (watching it, not playing it-- I can't skate to save my life). I'm not much of a sports person, but the uniqueness of the sport, and the passion the players and officials have for it is catching. I go to as many bouts as I can. There are three leagues in the area, so when it's not the off-season there are at least two a month.

Lately, I've been looking to get into firearms as a hobby. I went to a range with a friend last year, and it was more nerve wracking than fun since I've not been around guns much in my life. But, I went again recently, and I had a little more confidence, so I was really able to enjoy myself. I'm planning on buying a pistol soon, and possibly a small-caliber rifle some time later.

I'm looking for someone who has something they're passionate about and obsessively researches or rambles about it. If that sounds like you, you're definitely my kind of person.
