First off at this moment I am not looking for any more dates, as I am in a relationship. So don't contact me regarding that stuff.

I am a very creative person, I am currently in my second year at SAIC and am loving it. Ideally I would love to be a professor. I am quirky and crazy at times, but I can be quiet and serious in an instant. It takes a little bit for me to warm up to people, I tend to be a little shy, until I'm comfortable that is. I've been a vegetarian for about 6 years, and I love food (I think that I am a pretty good cook, if I do say so myself). I love animals (( I already know that when I get my first house that I'm going to have like 10 pets.))

I am pursuing a degree in the fine arts focusing in mixed media and most likely photography. I want to get my PhD someday and become a professor teaching art at a college. I usually volunteer a lot at a local animal shelter (( i'm talking like 10 hours a week)) where I play with the kittens and make sure they get good homes.

Listening and giving advice, i'm a good shoulder to lean on. I'm a good friend and greatly value truth and honestly and am loyal to the end. I'm also really good at diffusing awkward or tense situations ( usually with a perverted joke... which sometimes makes it even more awkward... oops).

my clothing, I change clothing style day to day and don't really fit in any real style. I'd like to say that people notice my personality but who knows....

ok.... i'm going to put a few things in here... but this isnt finished.
