Oh self summaries are always fun (not really because I am terrible at describing myself, its just better to get to know me via messaging).

I'm an average guy looking to meet some one that is close to where I live or go to college at. I am kind of seen as a quiet type of person, but I really am not. That's just one of the first impressions I seem to give off to people so when they get to know me they are surprised to find that they were wrong (pleasantly so though). I'm a cautious person when it comes to meeting new people, but I think that is a good thing.

I am the type of person that supports my friends in all of their decisions in life, but if they do something wrong I tell them my opinion on the matter. I try to be very honest at all times, though if something that I need to tell someone is harsh, then I do my best to gently get my message across. At one point I think someone called me a moral compass that always points north... I wasn't sure how to take that one, but they said it was a compliment.

Well that at least, is a section of my self summary...

I am a full time student in college trying to get a doctorate in pharmacy. I am currently in my third year (of 6). I plan to live somewhere on the eastern side of the USA. Other than that I will focus my time on having fun with my friends, relaxing, trying new things, and enjoying life. I am pretty open to change.

Update (3-17-2009):

My life is kind of changing more so than I thought it would at this point. My college is now requiring "rotations" at different pharmacy practice locations during the summers now, so I may be living in Albany over the summer now as well. I'm kind of glad of that and not. Glad because my house is kind of a stressful place to be because I am "so different" from my family (quote from my mother). Good though because I will be on my own and doing what I want to do and not having to worry about others/family and the complexity of my old life. Though I will really miss my friends, but the important ones I know will come to visit if I can't go and visit them.

Update #2 (7-4-09)

I'm through my second week of rotations. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Glad of that as well. The pharmacy tech crew and pharmacists have finally accepted me into their "group" so to speak, so being there is a lot more enjoyable. This 4th is going to be not as fun as last year because the college i'm dorming in is closed so most everyone had to go home, but since I'm an RA I didn't have to and plus couldn't because of my rotation. So i'm the only one on campus basically and my friends off campus when away for the holiday. Most interesting thing that has happened thus far was I almost started a fire in the kitchen this morning... *sigh* Don't ask... lol.

Listening to others and just being there for people. I am told that I am a loyal individual, but I just see that also as being respectful and nice to people. I treat others how I would like to be treated and I guess I must have higher standards in that area since people keep commenting about my loyality... Hmmm wonder if that is even a word, lol.

It has also been brought to my attention that I am fun to be with. May that be because I am a fun individual, good at telling jokes, or a great subject to make fun of, who knows. Probably a little bit of each, but its all good. Oh and I can be very sarcastic at times, but that's only if someone gets me going in that direction. I'm not normally that way, I need guided to that area, but it always ends up being a good time for all. Some peoples goal in life it seems, is to try and get me to turn to the dark side, as they say, lol. They really want me to become evil, speak my mind even when its very negative, and just forget about others feelings. I take that as a compliment because to me that means I am nice, well they would say too nice, but is there such a thing? Maybe...

I also write things on occasion. If you are wondering what that may be, just ask.

Hmmm. It's these parts of surveys or questions that I am really bad about. Most people don't tell me what their first impressions/things they notice are. Well i'll try to recall some.

1. That I am a very nice appearing guy. They didn't really say anything beyond that when I questioned them if it was intended to mean, nice to be with, nice to look at, or anything. They just replied with, "just nice."

2. Quiet. But as described above, that's a common misconception, though I am more quiet than the normal guy that is very bostful.

3. That I am taller. I'm not that tall, but then again, I'm used to my 6 foot 4 in. father and other tall people around me. So 6' 1" to 6' 2" doesn't really seem that tall when I still have people towering me.

4. What do you think...? (Seriously, let me know and send me a message. I'm a very curious person.)

Movies:
Gladiator is my favorite movie of all time.
Horror
Comedy
Actions
All of the above.

I prefer fantasy kind of lore things, but also don't mind serious books. (3-17-09) Recently I haven't been able to sit down and read because my life is too busy and i'd take interacting with people/humans than interacting with books.

In music, its just about anything (Third Eye Blind, Coldplay, The Who, Linkin Park, Blue Oct., AC/DC, The Killers, Three Days Grace). I don't like jass or the blues though.

Food, same thing as music, I only dislike very few things.

I personally don't like this question. I don't like putting limitations on the so many things that I really enjoy. I guess I'll put a few down, but there is too much to place into six...

1) People (friends, fam, etc)
2) Peace (nature, meditation/just quiet time)
3) Recreation (Listening to music/watching movies/game/food)
4) Health (I could do with out this, but its very important)

5) Air?
6) Water?

Life in general, such as what happened in a day or what I want to do later. Usually my thoughts revolve around other people/friends (figuring out how to fit in some visitation time with them).

I also think a lot about my past and how things affected who I am today and how things might have been if I had made other choices. High school is one of the major things that I think about while bored (probably because I had a lot of good times with my friends there and that I don't get to see them that much now that I am out of state in college).

(3-17-09)

I spend a lot of my time thinking about my current life and if I am happy with it or not and how it will affect me in the future. I also think about the things I would like to be going on now in life that I have had in the past. When I do this it leads me into thoughts of my past... Not that my past was bad or anything. I'd never change anything in it. It has made who I am today and I like who I am. Sometimes I wish that I could have parts of my past back though.

But ya, that's basically what I do. I took you on a small journey right there, but I cut it short for convential purposes.

(3-17-09) Watching some anime and eating chinese with a friend. I used to be playing video games as well, but I no longer have that extra time due to college classes. (yes... I do like anime but I'm not a nut about it). That or I am getting in some studying because I have exams in the following week (excluding quizzes... can't wait for the summer).

Now, if I had my way about what I could do on my friday nights, this would be a little different. But do to where I am in my life now (college and the such), this is what I do.

(11-1-09) Typically on more recent friday nights, I am trying to relax from the stressful week. More just visiting with people, maybe playing video games, or if the upcoming week looks pretty bad, studying for what ever exam I have next. Life at my college is rough right now. The Residence Life department said that the student body moral is at an all time low and they are trying to figure out how to make life here better. Wow, this has been a very negative entry... oh well. This is my typical friday night atm.

I guess that I am a very sensitive person and usually can relate to girls more than guys, feelings wise in certain situations. I've always been able to understand girls better than guys most of the time because guys are not always so willing to open up to other people.

Eh, i'd tell more, but it would only be privately. That's just how I work. I have no problem talking to people about things if its one on one. There are just somethings that aren't ment for the public, you know? Plus telling things in private causes room for trust and friendship to grow, along with other things.

(7-4-09) You are interested in getting to know who I am, if this profile shows a glimpse of something you may want in your life (friendship wise or possibly more). Or if you're just lonely and want someone to talk to. Most likely, I will listen. I'm good at that and do it often.
