About Me

.. width="425" height="350" .. I just graduated from Kansas University this May with a BGS in English. I moved to Atlanta the very next day with my wonderful fiancee, Nicki. I'm loving Atlanta so far, and working for the Merrill Corporation! I really enjoy collecting first edition Stephen King books. I'm also obsessed with T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land'. Saltwater fish tanks are my hobby, and I currently have a 14 gallon fish tank. And last but not least, I've been a Star Wars geek since I was a kid.

You are Jake! Even in the weirdest situations you don't panic, and instead, go with the flow. Your innocent nature may be the reason for your amiable ways, or maybe it is because you really don't feel like you have a home anywhere. At heart you are like a kid, and view life as an adventure. Sometimes you can be too trusting, but you are good at making friends.
