Introduction	Call me T.A.C. It's an acronym rather than an initialism so you pronounce it rather than say the letters individually (think "Tack") and if you know the video game it references I will think nice thoughts about you. I am a 27 year old college student in his third year of getting a Linguistics degree. Yes, it is a science. I live with with my fiancee Leia and our two cats, the fat cow cat (grade 6 bicolor cat, to be pointlessly precise) R2-D2, and the always surprised orange longhair C-3PO. Obviously, I am not using anyone's real name. If you are one of my friends and decipher my identity: please, keep it to yourself.
Interests	I am a scientist at heart (if not yet in education) so it can be said that I am literally interested in everything, but if you hand me a Kanye West CD I assure you I'll only care about it's molecular structure and such. From a narrower perspective the answer to this question is "anything nerdy." I have intelligent things to say about Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who (why Matt Smith? Why?!) Astrophysics, Linguistics, Biology, Atheism, Dungeons & Dragons (or Pathfinder, as I'm playing now,) other, lesser Role-Playing Games, music from the 60's through the 90's, video games, comic books, cartoons, japanese cartoons and all kinds of other shit. Oh, and Krav Maga. Krav Maga is the coolest thing I have ever been a part of, and it makes me a little cooler every time I attend a class. I am also very interested in the art of making fun of people.
Favorite movies	Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Coraline, The Dark Knight, Army of Darkness, Evil Dead II, the original, unaltered Star Wars Trilogy, Star Treks 2, 4, 6, Generations and Insurrection. Also the new Star Trek, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the newer TMNT, The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, The Incredibles, The Cowboy Bebop movie, Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Godzilla: Final Wars, It's A Wonderful Life, Ghostbusters I&II, The Back to the Future Trilogy, Conan: The Barbarian, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure as well as their Bogus Journey, Terminator 1&2, the new Rambo, All of the Alien movies including Resurrection, Brain Donors, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade/and the Legend of the Crystal Skull, Sin City, The Spirit, Zoolander, The whole of Kill Bill, The Last Starfighter, Rocky 3&4, the song scene from Revenge of the Nerds, Batman(1989), Batman: The Movie (1969), Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Wizards, Hamlet 2, Airplane!, Transformers: the Movie (1986), American Psycho, A Beautiful Mind, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and that's my absolute favorites off the top of my head.
Favorite music	My absolute favorite musical act of all time is the same as everyone else's: Alfred "Weird Al" Yancovic. I like the relaxing rock of the 60's onward (Yes, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Rush, anything else that one "chills" to) and I like metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Dragonforce, Dethklok, Anthrax, Anvil, Black Sabbath (with both Oz and Dio), Dio, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Rammstein, anything else that one "rocks out" to) and also "fun" music like that of the Scissor Sisters and the B-52's.
Favorite books	Ender's Game, Time Enough for Love, Stranger in a Strange Land, Foundation, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The God Delusion, Atlas Shrugged, some but not all of the Harry Potter books, The original Star Wars X-Wing series (so? they're awesome books!), and The Dark Knight Returns.
