Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.

About Me



? whateverlife.comI graduated with a BS in Aerospace Engineering...gonna be a Space Vehicles Engineer at Boeing. I like writing stuff, mostly fiction, but I haven't done it in quite some time. The hokies effing rule. I like to play skeeball. I've read every Stephen King novel. I don't like pulp in my orange juice. I don't like when people lie. My favorite icecream flavor changes from month to month. Halloween is my favorite holiday. The only soda I'll drink is rootbeer, and not even that often. I love my family to death, especially my brother. Sarcasm may be "the recourse of the weak mind", but it sure is fun. I play poker on Mondays, and I always lose. Mac and cheese is the BEST. And that is all for now.

My Interests

Reading, writing, watching movies, traveling, skiing/snowboarding (haven't in a while, but want to start up again this winter), cooking, coloring, midnight rendezvous, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell's Cheesy Gordita Crunch, Joe's All Night Diner, random disturbing movies at the Lyric Theatre about old women and how they rediscover their sexuality (not really an interest, but I am interested in knowing who actually pays to see that), Japanese horror, cracking jokes about aerospace engineers, proclaiming my undying dedication to Team Short Bus, pretending that I'm artistic, asking stupid questions, finding EXACTLY what I want when I want it, movies that stick with me long after I've seen them, fiendish sudokus, dreaming so vividly that it all seems real sometimes even after I wake up, sighing at girly movies, people who are nice to me for no apparant reason, Halloween, warm climates, yoohoo, random roadtrips, sexy accents

Guys Like That You're Charming

Ok, I can't complain anymore.  I just had the best break I've had in MONTHS.  And the thing is, if you ask what I did, my answer would be short.  Most people would think I had quite an ...

Fate, the Bitch

Fate is kind of a bitch isn't it?  For months I've complained that I was lonely and there's no one for me to really talk to.  And now I have a few guys who are interested in me, yet I don't...

Nothing so far...

Why does it seem that I'm so behind?  I feel like I've done nothing but school, so I just feel like I'm an extension of a teenager, not an adult.  There are people I know who are getting mar...

Hostel and APL...
