Hi all, I'm Rick. Right now I'm a software engineer at a stock brokerage. Its an okay job, but monotonous at times. I went to BU as an undergraduate and went to graduate school there too.

I haven't had any real life friends for a while now. I talk to a few people online, but I'd like to talk to more. I'm not terribly outgoing, I guess you could call me a homebody.

I suffer from social anxiety and elements of OCD, GAD, and panic disorder.

I like sci-fi, history, anime, documentaries, and anything geeky or sciency.

Message me if you want to talk! Be warned though, it takes me a while to warm up to a person.

Slow walkers, People who talk loudly on their cell in public, Airheads, Those who try to force their beliefs on me, Jerks, Waking up before noon, Lack of parking spaces!
