About Me

I'm a little dorky, but its okay.
I don't like how my hair looks when it is short, so I don't cut it.
I will base relationships solely upon a person's view of Earthbound. Google can help you if this means nothing to you.
I'm from New Orleans, but I live in Los Angeles.
(And i do very much miss my home city)
I like short sentences, but I also like needlessly complex ones.
I enjoy rocking out and try to whenever I can.
I think Spider-Man could beat Batman if they were just thrown in an arena together, but that Batman would come out on top if he had at least one hour to prepare.
Songs in profiles usually irritate me; I do not know why.
I take few things very seriously.
I roll 20s.
(I will occasionally roll a 6, but i guess sometimes you need a bit of failure to make things interesting,)
I have yet to find any music that Rory Allen Phillips has been a part of that i didn't absolutely love.
I have this urge to alphabetize all of the items in those silly categories over to the left.
It is not self-restraint that stops me from doing it, but the mere fact that--in this case--I'm more lazy than I am neurotic.
Other ways to say hi to me on Teh IntarWubs:
My Wii friend code is:
4375 9799 5583 8564
I'm told my mii is uncannily accurate because i already look like a cartoon character.
my aim is effyouimnotemo.
you should say hi, but I got out of the aim habit.
(and i kind of miss it)
