Seeing as I couldn't possibly lose anything from making a post in this thread, I figured I'd give this a shot. For to-the-point readers, my interests begin after the first paragraph.
My name is Josh, but I generally go by Dieff, an abridgment of my last name. I'm 21 and live in the western part of New York state. At the risk of being labeled by whatever data I reveal first, I'll say that I'm an atheist/agnostic. I'd probably be ok with an intimate heterosexual relationship, but would be much more comfortable in a platonic one, at least at the beginning. This is mostly because I'm overweight and have the accompanying self-esteem issues, though I like to say I'm "Seth Rogan fat"; I couldn't see myself in a relationship based on looks. Like most of the previous posters, I'm looking for a like-minded individual- male or female- with which to converse on a level higher than "smalltalk". I pretty much hate life*, but I'm only depressed and misanthropic because I have no peers I can talk to around here.
I enjoy both the reception and creation of comedy: if you can turn a phrase, you can turn me on. Let's see, what else... my mind is drawing a blank. Hold on, lemme check my Facebook page.
My lighter interests include petting/singing to my cats and a general interest in the structure of the universe. I don't know enough about it to say I like physics, or astronomy, or anything in particular, but just enough to be curious about how this place works.
My more deep interest is psychology/neurology, and most especially psychopharmacology- I loves me some drugs. I don't mean taking them, I mean learning about their effects and various things related to them. That's not to say I don't also enjoy taking them for experimental and hedonistic purposes. In contrast to my generalized interest in the cosmos, this is focused down to mind-altering chemicals, rather than general chemistry knowledge.
Lately I've branched out into the psychology and behavior of people in social situations. I'm not sure if this is still psychology or if I've gone onto sociology. At any rate... despite how cliched as it sounds, I find inner space as fascinating as outer space.
I'm thirsty for conversation with anyone even remotely like me. Even if you share none of my interests, intelligence and humor are pretty much the only two things I care about.
I was gonna put [insert pun here] at the end, but I won't. That's just too... too too.
*That may be slightly hyperbolic. Whatever, I'm not taking it out.
