  "A smile brighter than yours - such does not exist"

I'm a 24 year old white male living in the Bay Area. Oh, and I’m a fanatical sailor and a hopeless romantic, not to mention enviromental hippy. I grew up on a commune farm!

 


So how does one best go about describing oneself?  I prefer the “get someone else to do it” option, but that is not currently available as I’m the only one at home. So, here’s a list instead.

Name: John C. Glass
What's the 'C' stand for? - I am not telling. It's a secret.
How old are you? - I don't get carded when buying alcohol.
What do you do for a living? - Surprisingly very little. I'm a systems administrator - if I'm working hard, then I've probably not been doing my job!
What do you want to do for a living? - Senior Net.admin for a huge e-commerce center. UPDATE: I've already done this now. Update: I'm doing it again!
Are you gay? - Show me your breasts, and I'll tell you if I feel anything. Update: I'm not sure if that worked. Can I feel them too?
What is your favorite color? - Blue

Music:
          Frank Sinatra
          The Beatles
          Phil Collins
          Paul Simon
          Nat King Cole
          Fenix TX
          Countless others – I have many [legal] MP3s, just about everything is represented somehow. Even Jesus-Freak.
          I love the oldies though

Books:
         Les Miserables
         Issac Asimov
         Les Miserables
         Anything else is just so-so

Alcohol:
         White Wines, with an occasional merlot
         Good pale ales – not cheap beer, or even beer (don’t like the stuff)
         Good scotch
         Honey based Alcohol
         Milk (mmm, prefer over all the rest combined)

Dinner:
        Italian
        Persian
        Mexican
       American
       British
       Tiramisu
       --all home cooked of course. No microwave cooking here

Not Dinner:
       Asian food (can’t cook it) Update: after my roommate's mother moved here, I've grown to like a few things. Having an Asian girlfriend whose mom is also a wonderful cook is good too. However, I still can't cook anything, so it isn't for dinner.
       Sushi (no taste, doesn’t fill me up, but I’ll still eat it)
     

Communicable Diseases:
        HIV- no
        Gonorea - no
        Sylfiss - no
        Measles - no
        HPV - no
        Asshole Syndrome - yes
       

Neat stuff I've done:
        --Been in love
        --Been World Champion
        --Been homeless (once by choice, and once not by choice)
        --Accepted to UC Berkeley AND Stanford. I was probably the first person to write a scathing letter to Stanford refusing to attend.
        --Been published
        --Seen Dead People -- and not just the Greatful Dead people either

Sailing:
         Big boats
         Small boats
        Wooden boats
        Old boats
        Monohulls
        Catamarans and Trimarans
       

Blood: no thanks, I always feel a bit ill. Type: O positive (the stubborn type)

Places I've lived:

         Nowhere, Nevada
         Pleasant Hill, California
         Pleasanton, California
         Concord, California
         Santa Clara, California

Computer Stuff:
       FreeBSD
       Community Colocation.net - I have to volunteer somewhere!
       I don’t want to be a geek any longer – it doesn’t pay well enough.

Movies:
       A Beautiful Mind
       Hero (Chinese version)
       Gattaca
       Contact
       Thomas Crown Affair
       Mulan
       Gladiator
