Travis is killing me.....

About Me

Bored college student attending UNR, living in Reno. It's hard to explain how I tend to be. I guess you'll just have to meet me.
I have my faults, but I'm sure you have plenty too.
In most cases I'm laid back, somewhat intelligent, and a great listener.
Likes: Anything that keeps me laughing, movies, animals, and my short list of friends.
Dislikes: Everything else :)
- Others may see you as disciplined and self-controlled. You have seen the problems of being overly optimistic when planning to depend on others following through.
- Others showing genuine sincerity and acceptance impress you. You do not like a shallow expression of feelings or thoughtlessness of others. You will get along with most people you meet because you don't cause hostility.
- You may be a matter-of-fact person who may be critical of the shortcomings of others who display a more emotional or outgoing side.
- Because of your thoughtful nature, you need others to express sincere interest in you or the relationship. This offers the secure feeling that you seek.
- You usually assume a cautious and reserved demeanor when meeting new people. Your relationships must grow naturally and in sincere ways. You will not confide in others readily because of your need for security.
- During times of stress or tension, you may withdraw inside yourself and appear as somewhat cool and aloof. You need to be alone when thinking through projects, problems or solutions.
- You are usually astute in social situations because you take little at face value, will listen carefully and accurately, and will watch others carefully.
- You tend to listen rather than talk. You may place a premium on display of emotions. As a result, "reading" you at times may be difficult.
- You may be somewhat reticent and retiring when with others, especially in a large group. As others grow louder, you may become quieter. You value control of emotions, and are more reflective than rowdy.
- You attempt to influence others not by showing great emotion, but by appealing to the logical nature of people. Those who are more emotional and excitable may sometimes ignore your approach.
- You may want to base relationships on a nonemotional respect for each other's abilities, and base your level of trust on directness and straightforwardness.
- Some people may inaccurately perceive you as not liking people. You may be misread by others, because you approach social situations with logic and objectivity, judging others by their competence--you may sometimes be misread by others.
- Because of your need to be quiet rather than rambling, you are somewhat introspective about events and activities. You may not communicate readily and rapidly with others, but this does not mean you don't support others.
