Hmm...I'm a dork at heart. I love to spend time with my family. I'm a good person, and I care about those who I am close to - I would do anything for them, at any time.

I recently started school again - working toward my Bachelors degree in Healthcare Administration. I'm excited to learn more about the healthcare field, but getting back into a school routine isn't exactly easy!

Aside from that, I'm not sure what I'm doing. I'd love to make more friends and get out of the house for a change. Since I'm ridiculously shy and extremely picky about who I open up to, the making friends thing is pretty difficult.

Reading, which is great, because I love to do it. I'll read anything and everything that I can get my hands on(as long as it holds my interest). I have so many books it's ridiculous!

My friends have told me that I'm a good listener - they know they can come to me when they have problems, and that I'll give them an unbiased opinion, regardless of whether or not it's what they wanted to hear.

Another thing I'm good at after much practice is staying away from cameras. I hate having my picture taken, hence the reason there are very few recent photos of me.

Here comes the part that usually causes everyone to turn and run in the other direction - I'm plus sized, and have been this way for most of my life. I want to try and watch what I eat more closely as of late, but I find it very hard to give up caffeine all together - that would be very ugly....that, and the fact that I do not like most fruits/veggies.

Aside from that, I find that people have this perception of how I am, and that when they get to know me, they find out I'm totally the opposite of what they thought. Like I mentioned, I'm ridiculously shy, and can be very picky when it comes to potential mates. The pickiness probably comes from the fact that so many have judged me for what I look like versus the person that I am...and despite the fact that I want to not treat people this way, it doesn't always happen.

Books: Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries Series, anything by Patricia Cornwell (Especially the Kay Scarpetta books), Jennifer Weiner, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, the Harry Potter Series, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the list goes on....

Movies: 300, 30 Days of Night, John Carpenter's Vampires, Underworld, Underworld: Evolution, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Tommy Boy, Animal House, Baby Mama, What Happens In Vegas, the Harry Potter series, Jackass (all of them), and again, the list goes on.

Music: Pretty much anything from 80's Hair Metal to Country. Some favorites off the top of my head are Sevendust, Poison, Pantera, Metallica, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Slipknot, Black Stone Cherry, and too many more to list.

Food:The smart assed answer would be whatever doesn't eat me first, but the serious answer would probably be Chipotle. I know it's terrible for you the way I like it (bowl with extra rice, chicken, sour cream and cheese), but it's damn good!

Family/Close Friends (so I cheated and counted two as one)
Computer
Car (or in my case, SUV)
Dog
Job
Health

What the future holds for me, and if what my family/friends say is true - that there is someone out there meant only for me. I also spend a lot of time thinking about how it would be so nice to get a bike and go on a bike ride through a park or something - but without someone to go on bike rides with, I think it'd be kind of boring.

I've also been thinking alot about my Grandpa, who passed away very recently. I miss him terribly - he was like a second father to me. The grief is still so new that I'm having a hard time imagining my life without him in it, but I know that, in time, things will get better.

At home, being a nerd and doing school work, thinking about what it would be like to have a social life.

Not necessarily private, but only my friends know just how fanatical I am about smelling good. I don't over do it, though!

...You're 25-36 years of age,Male, have pictures available, and most importantly, are interested in getting to know me better. At this point in time, I'm not interested in a long distance relationship, nor am I looking for a "quickie" or a one nighter. If this is your bag, please don't bother. Just ask if I didn't cover something you want to know.
