application

Amended:

I'm applying primarily out of being curious if I qualify as either Geek (or a Nerd) or hot.

Lets' see, where to start...

I'm 37, I currently live in St. Paul, MN

I have been a filmmaker since I was 15.

I love dressing up in costumes, and have for as long as I can remember.

I have been a WWII reenactor for 6 years, which is sort of like being a festie, only for the 1940's instead of the Middle-ages.

I was never in band, but I do know how to play a little piano and the harmonica.

I'm obsessed with Indiana Jones, and have been since 1981 and hope to one day make an Indy Fan Film. I saw Star Wars (as in episode 4) in the theater in 1977 -- I was in 4th grade. I have been in line to see the first screening of each film since. James Bond films rock, even if they are bad. Girls from 60's spy movies rule.

I don't play sports, nor particularly like them, though I have begun to appreciate the dramatic qualities of a well played game of american football.

The wall of my Apartment are covered with movie posters, stills and lobby cards from the 1930's, 40's and 50's.

I had to sell my PS2 because I couldn't stop playing it. My favorite hand-held video game as a kid was the Atari Touch Me - yes, that's what it was really called. At home, I kicked ass at Pong.

I'm currently earning a Paralegal Certificate.

I love history, sociology, geology, anthropology, archeaology and astronomy. If I had to do it all again, I think I would have been a Planetary Geologist.

I have owned a Mac since 1991 (not the same one of course).

I don't really know much about programming, but when it is explained to me -- it actually makes sense.

I can carry on entire conversations of movie quotes and understand what is being said.

I like to read, but don't - primarily due to a learning disability.

I thought the Fifth Element was a kick ass movie

My favorite geek films are: Any Indiana Jones movie (but especially Raiders), Star Wars (Empire is the best one), Star Trek: First Contact and Inserection (spelling?), The Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock, Any film by Robert Rodriguez, the Fifth Element, Bladerunner, Planet of the Apes (the original), Alien, Aliens, Accion Mutantes, Evil Dead II and III, Zombie films, MST3K, Most of the films featured by Cinemapocalypse, HK films, some anime, a boy and his dog, um...and the Spice Girls movie -- does that count as a Geek Film?

I'm also an X-Files freak and have been known to watch DS9 on occassion. The Muppets rock. Grover is my favorite.

Recently I co-produced a sci-fi, horror, WWII film called "The Retreat" about GI's who run into some zombie Nazi's, I co-produced the sci-fi western and local hit feature film "Planetfall" and "Go To Hell" (see carschoolfilms.com for more info on both) and I'm currently writing a WWII feature film that is The Guns of Navarone meets Raiders of the Lost Ark meets X-files.

I'm not sure if this falls under geek, but I seem to use a lot of voices, dialects and accents other than my own.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. I think the Patriot act did more damage to American freedom than Osama Bin Laden and Sadam combined.
I have zero tolerance for bureaucratic absurdity and even less tolerance for anyone who adheres to said absurdity.

Live journal is awesome as is Indygear.com.

I'm sure I could write more, but I can't think of anything else right now.

And, the photos:

Somewhere out on the net are some photos of me at 2003 CONvergence Masquerade in my current Indy gear, but I've lost the links to them so...
