Timothy Gerald

General

21+ as far as friend requests go please [sorry, I don't and won't accept friend requests from minors]. Me: I'm primarily ISTJ/ISFJ (I'm one of those rare individuals who have fluctuated between ISTJ and ISFJ. Though I mostly test out as ISTJ, I guess there's been a little bit of a contest between my head and my heart. Interestingly, those who have gotten to know me tend to be surprised at the "I" part. Apparently, if I am comfortable with you, I tend to come across as a little more outgoing). Politically, I tend to lean left. I'm an advocate for civil rights and equal opportunities regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. I support reproductive rights including access to abortion and contraception. Finally, I am an ally to the LGBTQIA community and as such support marriage equality and anti-discrimination protections.

Music

Pretty much anything classified as classic album rock: Aerosmith, Foreigner, Rush, Van Halen, Rolling Stones, The Who, etc. I'm also quite partial to the genre classified as 80's music as well. Every once in a while I like to mellow out to soft rock too.

Movies

Conclave, The Bikeriders, The Beekeeper, The Fall Guy, Argyle, Oppenheimer, Ferrari, Air, A Man Called Otto, Father Stu These are just some of the movies I've watched in the theater and enjoyed over the last few years.

Television

The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, The Last of Us, Special Ops: Lioness (mostly because a relative is in it), currently watching The West Wing on Max. In fact trying to use Max to watch television series I've missed. In that vein, I have watched Boardwalk Empire (which I thought was really good), Succession (not bad), Silicon Valley (ok but expected it to be better). Anyway, other than games shows like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, I really don't watch much TV other than one of the Thursday night sitcoms - currently giving Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage a chance.

Books

Mostly non-fiction. Quite a lot of politically oriented books: Peril (by Bob Woodward and Robert Acosta), Rage (by Bob Woodward), A Very Stable Genius (by Carol Leoning and Philip Rucker), I Alone Can Fix It (by Carol Leoning and Philip Rucker), Disloyal (by Michael Cohen), Enough (by Cassidy Hutchinson), Too Much and Never Enough (by Mary Trump), GOP 2.0 (by Geoff Duncan), Renegade (by Adam Kinzinger). Entertainment oriented books: Here's the Story (by Maureen McCormick), brat: an 80's story (by Andrew McCarthy), The Boys (by Ron and Clint Howard), Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing (by Matthew Perry), Stories I Only Tell My Friends (by Rob Lowe).
