I am outgoing, playful, and hopelessly romantic.

My Self-Summary

I love being outdoors and playing sports, or just sitting in and watching a DVD on the couch! I'm the farthest thing from a jock/meathead that you will ever meet though. I'm a Sophomore at Ohio State.
As cliche as it sounds, i'm very music-oriented. I'm a guitarist and a drummer, but nowhere near good enough at either to be in a successful band. It's more of a hobby than anything, but I love it.

I'm terrible at introducing myself, considering i don't want to come off as a complete jackass, but not a complete loser at the same time. So where's the balance?

Anyway, my name's Garrett, and although I hate it, nicknames don't fit me well. There's only one person that's allowed to call me Gary, but I may make exceptions.

German was always a HUGE part of my life back in high school. One day I KNOW that I want to live there, at least for a while. Considering that i've been out of high school for over a year now, my grammar is slightly rusty, but I still understand nearly every word that i've ever actually heard.

My friends say that i'm one of the most laid back people they've ever met. That's good and bad at the same time. Hey, I may look like shit some days, but sometimes u have to just say screw it and just go out and have fun. I'm the farthest thing you'll ever meet from a pretty boy, but i'm DEFINATELY okay with that. That type of guy attracts all of the wrong women.

Anything you want to know, just ask me. I'm completely open about nearly anything. People normally just don't care enough to take the time to get to know me.

And then I saw her standing there
With green eyes and long blond hair
She wasn't wearing underwear at least I prayed that
She might be the one maybe we'd have some fun
Maybe we'd watch the sun rise
But that night I learned some girls try too hard
Some girls try too hard
And some girls try too hard to impress
With the way that they dress
With those things on their chests
And the things they suggest to me

I couldn't believe what this lady was saying
The names she was dropping the games she was playing
She dated this guy who now rides for Black Flys
How she's down with the wise well constructed disguise
Now I'd rather go dateless than stay here and hate this
Her volume of makeup her fake tits were tasteless
So I said I'd call her but never would bother
Until I got turned down by another girl at a party

^Sums up pretty much my view on dating at the moment!
I'd rather find a sweet little innocent girl that actually is real instead of a fake random hookup.

and now i'll sum that up in german!
Fick die dirnen, nimm das geld! lol

At the moment i just moved to columbus from lima. Lima sucks you in and definately does not want to let go. It's slowly dying, no matter how hard some people try to stop it. You have 2 choices for a friday night... Get drunk somewhere in a barn or go to the movies!...both of which get extremely expensive after a while. So that means that a large number of us are left just hanging out talking and sitting! but that all just changed! now i need to meet people down here so i can actually find something to do!

I don't know what i'd do without my guitar. I have a feeling my roommates may possibly shoot me for my late night guitar habits. I love to just pick it up and get lost. And if i could just stop breaking picks i'd be good to go!
and now in german!
Ich liebe die Gitarre! Ich kann nicht gut spielen, aber brauchen die englisch sprecher das nicht zu wissen!

I love to go to concerts and hang out with friends listening to music. Need some new people to go with though. Most of my friends that like my type of music are back in lima.

I believe in treating people the way they deserve to be treated. There are too many girls that stay with complete assholes just because they can't see what is going on right in front of their eyes! I'll be the first to admit that i've done some asshole-ish things in the past and never really got what i've deserved for it, but i'm proud to say that i'm ready to straighten my life out and take care of someone that really deserves to be taken care of. Wow, that was a pretty long rambling....so if that made no sense then just tell me!
now in german!
Ich weiss, was eine Frau braucht. Sie wollen ein gutes mann, und will ich der sein. Arschloecher koennen sich weg machen, weil sie nichts fuer sie sind. Wow...okay my german grammar isnt as terrible as i thought.

I'm a dog person by far! but i'm not opposed to cats. I have 2 australian shephard/black and brown lab mixes. They're brother and sister and named Zach and Zoey. They're getting old :( . They've been the only ones to stick with me through all the tough times, so they will always hold a special place in my heart. I love all kinds of animals though.

So, that was a helluva summary. Took way too much writing, but i think i'll survive. If there's anything i didn't cover, just send me a message. I love to get mail, considering as a male you very rarely get mail from females on things like this. I'm pretty chill about it and i'll respond whenever i get the chance to! Sorry if i miss yours, but just give me some time and i'll find it!

What I’m doing with my life

I'm going to college for pharmacy, and doing whatever i can to stay busy. Partying entirely too much, and attempting to figure out what i want.

I’m really good at

I'm good at making people come out of their shell and open up to me. If you can't be open with people then you'll never get to know them.

The first things people usually notice about me

Most people instantly notice how outgoing I am, and normally my eyes are number 2. Once again, not trying to sound like a cocky asshole and also not trying to sound like a loser!

Books:
Odd Thomas series
Janet Evanovich's stephanie plum number series

i'll listen to nearly anything...but the majority of rap is not something i'd listen to by myself. old eminem stuff, yes. soulja boy, hell no.

Food:
Mexican! i'll eat pretty much anything but its gotta have some flavor! i eat a ton but you'd never guess by looking at me

The six things I could never do without

1. My car
2. My guitar
3. Mexican food
4. My friends
5. My iPod
6. Grammatically correct people. I can't stand idiots.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Too much complex shit. I think too much.

On a typical Friday night I am

I am nearly always out with friends, but i'm trying to settle down a bit more. Hell, who am i kidding, i'd love to be able to hang out with a girl and my friends all at once. I just need someone laid back enough to do that.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Ich bin sehr romantisch, aber will ich auch spass machen. Wow, i think my german grammar is slipping badly.

You should message me if

If you aren't a psycho. I've had some bad luck with that in the past. Yeah, a psycho woman can be an attractive thing at times, but overall they aren't worth the time.
