I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm pretty agnostic at this point... I use to believe in Zen Buddhism, but now I just don't know.. I contradict it and desire things I can't have way too much to be Buddhist. Its not that I have any spite for anything, just don't know what to trust and all of that, just wait and see.As for my personality, I won't sugar coat things... I'm pretty sarcastic, I can be arrogant, funny if I know you, probably awkward or serious if I don't know you, and at the same time I do have low self-esteem about myself and capabilities.I study Japanese, but really don't care much for Japan or Japanese culture anymore. I want to be an English teacher, but college will probably take me a little longer than expected. I had a lot of credits dropped or put into electives when I transfered to University of Missouri-St. Louis.

My Interests

I like comedy a lot, play tons of video games, I do enjoy picking locks thats my new thing at least, and hanging out with my friends when I see them.
