I am blunt, affectionate, and sarcastic.

My Self-Summary

I'm an extremely easy going guy who always tries to look on the bright side of things and see the good in people. I am quick to smile and always appreciate a good sense of humor.

I have a.d.h.d. and whereas it doesn't define it certainly explains a lot of my quirks. It certainly explains my extremely limited attention span.

I read constantly. I rarely watch tv, I've preferred books since I was competent enough to read through them.

I absolutely love music but am certainly no buff, if I listen to a song and I like the "feel" of it then I'm a fan. Doesn't mean I can tell you the name of the artist or even specifically which genre it belongs to.

The most important things in life to me are the people you share it with. Friends and family are what make this existence worth enduring, when you must, and heighten the peak of existence, whenever you can get away with it.

I have a very sarcastic wit. I am honest to a fault, my friends call me blunt and others say I'm an ass. I hate hurting peoples' feelings so I do my best to just keep my mouth shut if I don't have anything nice to say about someone. Sometimes they ask me for my opinion anyways and seem surprised when I don't sugar coat it for them.

What I’m doing with my life

Working and school... more work than school lately. Parties when I can but always hanging with my friends.

I’m really good at

Being me, being honest, being true.

Oh and I can color in the lines with crayons!

The first things people usually notice about me

My hair... Yay for gingers. I have received many comments/compliments on my smile.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: The Sword of Truth Series, Any of Ayn Rand's works, The wheel of time series, The Dreamthief's Daughter, The Giver, Harry Potter, Enders Game, Neverwhere, The Game Master.

Movies: Boondock Saints, Vanilla Sky, Blow, Gone Baby Gone, Seven Pounds, anything thought provoking.

Music: Electronica, Rock, Metal, Some Rap/R&B.

Food: I don't have favorite foods, I appreciate anything well made.

The six things I could never do without

1. Family
2. Friends
3. A Computer
4. A Book I haven't read
5. Laughter
6. Swimming in the summer.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Where I'm going and how on earth am I going to manage to get there. I'm currently majoring in philosophy because I love the classes, but to be completely honest I have yet to hear of a career that I know for sure I would be happy doing for the rest of my life. Sadly though you have to make money to make it to the end.

On a typical Friday night I am

Out with friends.

...shenanigans

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm an extremely touchy feely person and absolutely love cuddling.

You should message me if

Intelligence is a huge turn on for me. I don't mean the ability to regurgitate information you were force-fed in school or found in a magazine from that pouch in front of you on your transatlantic flight. I mean able to constructively argue your point with sound reasoning, or quickly grasp an abstract concept.

(i.e.)You want to hypothesize the purpose of human life.

You can stand by your own opinions and beliefs while respecting those that others hold dear.

You're friendly and like saying hi to strangers.
