Tom

Just sick enough to be totally confident.

About Me

Ever go to a party and find a guy who seems a bit out of place, a bit sad, a bit intriguing? You take a chance and talk to him and it turns out he's a really nice guy but painfully shy. He's smart, funny, nice to you and your friends and your mom would probably love him? Well, I'm the kid that guy has to drive home. I'll probably throw up in his backseat too. Nice to meet you.

My Interests

I "back" the following: the rock and roll, sarcasm, eye-rolling, falling leaves, pumpkins, pumpkin flavoring, ghosts, hoboes, monkeys, kittens, my bike and the bikes of others, The local sporting clubs, fireworks, silly string, small contained fires and full on conflagrations, Mr. Show with Bob and David, waffles, pancakes, toast, jelly and the Indiana Jones series of movies.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can get into it. "It" being whatever needs getting into. Sometimes you need to get into rigging the military base with explosives and sometimes you need to get into sitting on the couch and watching Kids in the Hall reruns. It comes and goes.

Music:

me likey the loud rock

Movies:

Gladiator Movies. But not the movie Gladiator.

Television:

99% of TV is for sucks.

Books:

Ask me about my addicitons.

Heroes:

Anyone who serves ice cream in a monsoon.
