A SPOON!ed Rest

[Profile Last Updated: 2011.03.27]

Who am I?
I'm the spoon.
I'm a technophile that attempts to have knowledge backing up my interests in practically everything electronic. Through my logic-colored eyes, I view the world as a state of progressively logical models with, at least on the surface, highly illogical beings operating inside of it (namely, people).
A person can be extremely illogical, but people as a whole are inherently logical. Interesting, isn't it?

What am I?
I'm somewhat average height, somewhat overweight and somewhat muscular legs. Like if I had the torso of a tall fat guy and the legs of a short sprinter.
My body sucks though. If you spend any time reading this journal, you will inevitably come to an entry about how parts of my body are failing me. Long story short, I have a lot of joint problems and strange reactions to practically every medication to ever exist - including immunity to painkillers.
I'm bald. I was balding, decided to shave it off and eventually got used to it.

I'm a somewhat hard worker - I have two Batchlor's degrees (one in Mathematics, one in Computer Science) and I'm a system administrator for a local software company.

What do I do?
I build computers as a hobby. I like building computers. I like seeing the smiles on people's faces for building them this new computer for someone and the hugs received after they realize just how cheap I made it. It is like something a habitat for humanity person would build - a home or a computer, really similar actually. I'd love to actually volunteer my work in an organization, but I haven't found one that does such things (and I don't have anywhere near enough time to make one of my own).

I'm also an excellent person for technical support - diagnosing problems just by hearing one or two symptoms. If you've ever seen the television show House, MD, I'm actually quite similar to House in the method of diagnosis, only with computers instead of people. I'm typically far more accurate in my first guess though. :P

My own computers, however, are problems in of themselves. You know how a plumber typically has leaky pipes? My computers are, in general, temperamental children that don't like getting along with anything with a vowel in it. If you read enough of my journal, you'll see me every so often have the most bizarre problems with computers. Don't worry, only my personal computers seem affected. My personal EMP only seems to bother my computers, most times.

My posts here tend to be random things I think of off the top of my head. Anything abby-serious and/or potentially offensive to someone somewhere is Friends-locked, so ask if you want to read them.

I hang around in #aspoonedroom (LJ Comm _asr) perpetually. Stop in, strike up a conversation with me.
My Kritter (kriatyrr) has claimed me. :)
