I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm from Texas, but a lot of people think I'm from Scandanavia. I'm convinced that one day I will move to the beach and surf every day. I hate litter, and dirty dishes. I'm torn about my love for America and my disatisfaction for her politics, fast food, and giant automobiles. When I was a senior in High School, I used to eat 5 scoops of ice cream a day. I believe in enjoying life to the fullest capacity. My last name in German means "Driven." I am a bit obsessed with traveling and exploring other cultures... 25 countries, 28 states and still going strong. I've recently cut most glutens out of my diet. I wish that local news would focus on international news. I still use film cameras. I have a a strange liking for trash cans, of all sorts and colors._____________________________________________________ ___________________________My favorite things: Sleeping outside, Joyriding, Drinking on the porch (anyone's porch), Brand new sharpies or plastic containers, Untried Thai restauransts, Floating the Guad, Exploring, People who still use the United States Post Office, Cool stamps, The fantasy of being in a Paul Simon dance video, Anthropomorphism, Big complex words, Touring an Oil Rig, Unique lamp shades, When the new Restoration Hardware catalog come in the mail, Restaurant leftovers, Leaving the country, Visiting old friends, Not bathing for a while, Giant fake fur coats, The desert, 24 hour Kinkos, Delivery guys, Luaus (or any parties with long tables of food and costumes), Good conversationalists, All-night railroad car diners, Shakespeare in the Park, Shiner Bock, Compassion, The smell of the inside of my old camping trunk, Driving through West Texas... And I love, love, love my dog.________________________________________________________ __________________________Things I could live without: Double-stick tape, Making my bed, the Middle East conflict, Ice in my drink, Unkindess, The "invitation" part at the end of church services, Curfews, Surviving tragedy, Using silverware, Group games (this includes pictionary, dominos, suffleboard, foosball, poker, skeeball, air hockey, ping-pong, and all other boring, inconsequental games with balls, blocks of wood, and sticks), Restless sleepers, Cell phones and fax machines, Fundamentalists and narrow-minded people, Babies on airplanes, Doing things "out of principle", Kinkos employees, Air Mattresses, When people eat my leftovers, Feaux paint finishes, Loud American tourists with bad fashion sense, and Golf on television. Enough about me... what about you. ************************************************************ **** I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4My Space or Yours?
