I am here for Friends

About Me

i am very shy, almost to the point of awkwardness. it takes a while for me to feel comfortable enough around people to be myself. it's usually worth the wait, just ask my friends. then again, if you're reading this, you probably already know me. why else would you be here? i'm a funny guy. not neccesarily ha-ha funny, but more like, "look at the giant head on that kid" funny, which is entertaining. i don't really have a defined style. i guess i'm a t-shirt and jeans guy, with slight modern/retro chic tendencies. i wear a lot of blue. i do wear flip flops, unless my feet get cold. my friends are a pretty eclectic mix. some have lost touch with me, others with reality. i wouldn't trade any of them. maybe bob. oh, yeah, i don't like to capitalize stuff. i don't know why. also got engaged recently. hooray.
