Well, I suppose I should start with my name. The name's Spencer and its a pleasure to make your aquaintance. I'm an all-around happy person. What can I say? I love being alive. I enjoy experiencing new things and sharing moments with friends. I believe the human race to be better than what the media portrays. People have the ability to surprise and to astound, and that's why I have faith. I deeply love my family and friends. They have helped to mold the man I am today. I love going out, soaking up sunshine and being with friends, but I am also more than content with spending time with a good book or a good video game. But a cold beer with friends trumps them all. Usually.

Though, don't think that I'm some hippie. I mean, I guess that I'm hippier than some but I enjoy showers and personal hygiene in general.

I also like to pretend to be a bad ass mother fucker but I'm really not. I just like to threaten people with the oh-so inevitable fate of being punched in the throat. I also like to sprinkle conversations with odd witicisms. You would think this would be at odds with my otherwise caring demeanor but you would be wrong. How does that make you feel? Punk-ass bitch.

...

Sorry.

I also love tattoos and I run a lot. Also, I just moved to Boulder to live with my english grad student best friend for life. So I know relatively nobody and I haven't the slightest idea how to navigate this place. But there are mountains! That makes up for everything else.

However, I'm a bit wary about my fondness of running and becoming accustomed to the altitude of the mountains. I'm from the flat, almost sea level lands of Illinois. So if you see me passed out on a street corner due to the lack of oxygen in my blood, take pity and resist the urge to run over, bike over, or step on my head. Leave me your address and I'll be sure to thank you in a Christmas card when the season rolls around.

Yup, I'm just that much fun.

College is too exspensive for my broke-ass to afford at the moment, so I'm working. Working, so I can save money, so I can spend said money on college. It's a frightening cycle.

Other than that, I give the finger to the American Red Cross and donate blood on a regular basis.

I'm good at being pissed when my english grad student best friend for life uses internet lingo when she writes me notes. It's a paradox I've yet to figure out and it angers me.

I also know how to read and write. I've even been known to read for the hell of it.

Other than that, I really haven't the slightest idea. I'm sure there's more, I just don't think I've reached the level of introspectivity to realize them yet.

Actually, there is one thing that I've heard at an increasing rate. I have a big nose. I would've never guessed. But now that we have overcome this wall that has come between us, what say we get on with our lives, shall we?

I have a really infectious laugh. And I laugh a lot, so you will inevitably laugh as well. Take that, Grumpy Gus.

Other than that, I really haven't the slightest idea. I don't really make it a habit of asking.

Food- I love Greek food. I'm also fond of Italian, Indian, and Japanese food stuffs.

My family, my friends, my books, the sun, oxygen, and cats. I love cats. LOVE THEM.

1) Making that money.

2) How much I hate my Nana's pekingnese dog and emo kids.

3) What I would want for my next tattoo. Don't worry, I only have three. It just takes me a while before I decide what to put on my skin for the rest of my life.

4) Whether or not I'm going to punch you in the throat.

5) And most recently, moving into my new apartment in Boulder. As much as I truly love camping and the outdoors, I've grown accustomed to having a place where I can put all of my crap and I'm extremely relieved to have finally found a place to live.

Contemplating life's great questions with the greatest minds to ever break free of the wild, untamed, and feral wilderness of Illinois. Or I could just be getting drunk. Or I could be spending the night by myself and reading. You know, whatever I see fit at the moment.

And I just got a job a Southern Sun Pub and Brewery. So I'm imagining that'll be taking up a good majority of my Fridays.

I have three things for this section. I know. Crazy.

I am most definitely not a celebrity crazed kind of person, but if Edward Norton or Jake Gyllenhaal asked me to marry them right now, I would say yes.

I find it extremely unattractive when someone says that "I'm too busy to read!" or "I'm too ADHD for books!". Either admit to the fact that you don't like to read or I will presume you're just making excuses on why you're too lazy to pick up a damn book. There really is no excuse why an adult can go through life without knowing who wrote The Great Gatsby. Fo' realz.

Finally, I'm not nearly as extroverted as my profile might lead you to believe. At least, not at first. You get to know me a bit more and you'll find that I'm just a barrel o' fun.

If you could use a delicious smattering of humor in your life.
