i usually have off friday nights, so work isn't something i'd list here.

depending on what weekend we're talking about, i'm at first friday, occasionally a bar or party, usually at a bookstore.. or having a low key evening with friends.

i am the biggest fucking art nerd. ever.

i've gotten over my big, sick, sad shy streak. i've been an awkward and anti-social bird for most of my life. i'm very pleased with the "progress" i've made; i'm more personable and outgoing than i've ever been in my entire life and that's a pretty huge deal for me; i have social anxiety and panic attacks.. i'm pretty solid now. the only times i ever face shyness anymore is when i'm crushing on someone. i can't help it.. when i swoon for someone, i get sappy.

you are down for an adventure, great conversation and new experiences. you love to laugh and are willing to present me with new challenges while simultaneously adoring me. you're confident that you're interesting. you want to make a connection, have excellent conversations and actually communicate daily. you're cute. and lame. you want to cuddle and you're twice as nerdy or creatively driven as me.

my only disclaimer is that if any females pass by my page, know that i'm serious when it comes to this. i'm not interested in trendy, drunk or aggressive/horny females. i just don't get down like that. i'm a pretty decent person, i expect the same from others. i'm open to talking to anyone; my sexuality is definitely not one-sided. i like all people.
