Hi. My name is Rodrigo but my friends call me Rod or Rai.

I'm 28 years old, believe it or not, and I'm stuck studying the 5th semester of Computer Engineering at the Engineering Faculty (best school ever, lol).

I'm a very geeky person, shy and quiet until I get to know you, because I like to listen and observe. When I have something to say I usually become quite snarky (but don't take it as if I hate you, I'm joking). I also tend to become a motor mouth and talk too much or write big walls of text when something makes me excited.

Speaking of books and writing, I like sci-fi and popular science and I'd like to become a writer someday (my role model is Carl Sagan). I'd like to mix my career, multimedia making, pedagogy/psychology, User Interface design and popular science communication to develop educational software. I'm also very internet savvy (on the social and technical aspects), heavily opposed to its censorship and a believer in Open Source software.

I'm disliking most of the new movies and wary of bad commercial content because most of them has become part of a greedy multimillionaire industry of bad entertainment. I support the Black March movement because, except for some very good movies, they are no longer about artistry and storytelling but of moneymaking and that makes me sick. Still, I have some favorite movies and my number one is Robert Zemeckis' Contact, Stanley Kubrick's 2001 and Peter Hyams' 2010 (although I prefer the novels by much). You can tell I like astronomy and I belong to my faculty's club, SAFIR.

I'm also a fan of Japanese anime and animation, specially the 2D old school animation. Secret of NIMH, Balto, Cat's Don't Dance, Oliver & Company, The Lion King, Pokémon, Tottoko Hamutaro, etc. have made me approach to the Furry Fandom (google with caution as there's a lot of prejudice and misconceptions). There's some original amazing new content made by the artists of this group, mostly in the webcomics area (My favorite right now is Housepets! by Rick Griffin). A friend inside the fandom told me about a new cartoon and I was very skeptic but tried it out anyway and it is surprisingly very good. So good that in fact I made a presentation about it in last semester's business course. It's (and don't laugh) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And I rather leave it for another comment or this will become a huge wall of text.

In music I like a lot of things, except regueton. I don't like banda music but I tolerate it. My favorite group is Japanese rock musicians "the pillows" and my favorite singer is Katy Perry (I LOVE HER!)

I like animals (but don't have a pet due to lack of time and money), surfing the net and meeting people around the world (maybe one day I'll travel a lot and meet them in person), playing video games (the dancing sim videogame "Pump It Up" and Pokémon games are my favorite) I don't care what's on TV (but will watch news just to know what lies and distractions the high powers are spreading) and I love unhealthy food. I think that's all.

Shnap, I made another big wall of text... sorry.

Is a furry who is 18 that likes to cause a bit of mischief but is generally nice and trying to get something for anybody
