As fleet and bright as a lodestar.

About Me

I am a dork! I love videogames, comic books, cartoons and roleplaying. That's not to say, however, that I am unable to function in the outside world. I'm pretty easy-going and I love to joke around. I try not to take life too seriously unless I need to. I like spending time with my friends and family and when I'm not doing that I'm either writing songs, stories, or drawing.

My Interests

I like to draw, write, play guitar, listen to music, go to movies, spend time with family and friends. I read here and there too, but since I'm an English major my reading time is mostly alloted to books that are assigned to me.

I'd like to meet:

Someone nice, smart, and funny. That about covers it.

Music:

When it comes to music I like pretty much whatever stirs my fancy. It just so happens that more often than not pop punk is the music that usually does it for me.
