I am humorous, outgoing, and shy.
My Self-Summary
Hi, I'm Drew, and I'm an alcoho... whoops. Anyway, my name's Andrew
or Drew, I go by either/or. I'm the coolest person I have ever met.
No.. really I am. Tell ya a lil about myself, I live in Lexington,
born there and grew up along with the town itself. I enjoy
travelling, have done a good bit of it across this continent, and
have honestly found few places anywhere else I would rather live,
but a buncha places I'd love to visit again. Alaska, California,
and Maine immediately come to mind. I also wanna go to Hawaii and a
few midwestern states like Oklahoma and 2 or 3 more so that I can
say with honesty I've visited every state in the US.
What I’m doing with my life
I work at a propane company doing repair work and installations,
and pretty much anything else they can think to throw at me. So
yeah, I'm kinda a real life Hank Hill. I'm going back to school
over the spring, since my plans for school got pushed back a bit by
some things that came up, to grab the last few classes I left
undone to finish out a degree. Then will try to get hired on with a
local law enforcement agency. Yeah, you have permission to laugh
now, cause I'm gonna be a pig. All my friends think me actually
becoming a cop is hilarious. Anyway, that's just kinda the barest
bones account of me.
I’m really good at
Everything. Good at working with my hands, love to study history
(it was my original major in college), and I am the absolute best
at screeching a song at the top of my lungs while ridin' in the
car. Come to think of it, I'm not really bad at anything.
Apparently I've achieved perfection.
The first things people usually notice about me
Danged if I know, I'm not other people. Most regular comment is on
how I talk (and apparently how I write sometimes as well), though.
I've got a bit of a "good ol' boy" accent... okay, it's more than
just a bit of one. It's a kinda conundrum: I sound more redneck
than almost any redneck, and yet I'm less redneck than almost any
redneck... or somethin' like that. Yeah, let's just leave that one
alone.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I love to read. Fantasy, History, and general fiction are probably
my favorite genres. If I get a new book I've really been
anticipating, then I'm likely to disappear for a couple days while
I rush through it. Some of my most recent reads are The Early Life
of Genghis Khan (My favorite historical figure), Three Kingdoms
Unabridged Version by Luo Guanzhong written back around the 14th
century or so, and rereading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series
in anticipation of the 12th and (now third to) last installment due
out this fall (or winter now according to the lastest release
date)... yeah, it's that long a series.
Movies, I just like in general, almost any kind... I can even
stomach the very rare occasional chick flick.
My musical taste, as anyone who's ridden in my car with me can tell
you, is.. ecclectic? ..broad-ranged? ..completely and insanely
freakin' random? The one type of music I've never had much use for
is jazz, but everything else is open game.
The six things I could never do without
Nothing I can really think of other than food, shelter, and water,
so just insert 3 other typical responses: family, friends, money,
car, etc.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What anyone thinks about, life in general. Although, get too many
drinks in me and I can suddenly solve all the world's problems.
Only difficulty is I forget all those solutions by the time I wake
up the next morning.
On a typical Friday night I am
There really is no typical friday night for me. It used to be go
out to a bar or club, toss back some drinks with some friends, and
stumble home. But I think those days are windin' down..
unfortunately, all my rowdy friends have settled down. So my friday
nights are always up in the air.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Wouldn't you like to know. Okay, fine, yall wanna know some dirt?
When I was little, like 2 or 3 years old, my brothers used to call
me "The Lil' Goat." Why? Well, unlike many kids that age who have
mildly disgusting but ultimately somewhat normal habits, I didn't.
I would crawl around on the living room floor and chew the fuzz out
of the carpeting. I don't know why, I think it seemed like a good
idea at the time. Okay, you have permission to laugh at me now...
no, not that much laughter... okay, just stop laughing now.
You should message me if
You actually read all that stuff above here... or if ya didn't. I
can get a lil wordy sometimes, so I occasionally need someone to
tell me to just shut up. Anyway, my name on here is the same as the
one I use on AIM so that's sometimes the best way to get hold of
me... just don't be too disparaging about the screenname. It's old,
it's a story that came from way back in high school, and it's not
particularly funny. If ya' want funny I've got much better stories
than that one. Anyway, yeah, I'll just shut up and say bye
now...
.. Bye.
