About Me

Resident of Sunny St. James.I recently received a BA from the University of Winnipeg (majored in Political Science) and now I'm a cre. comm. student at Red River College Plus, I might be the only person i know who enjoys playing the games on various banner ads.

My Interests

My interests are pretty uh... "general", I enjoy doing what most Winnipegers my age enjoy doing. That being any one of the folowing: making random slurpee runs, wandering aimlessly down Portage avenue, and partaking in the occasional consumption of an alcoholic beverage.

Other then that, i enjoy watching movies, listening to all types of music, sports, girls, awkward silences that mean something, nervous habits, being shy, the soft spot in the collarbone and the like...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can find the humour in everyday, ordinary living, and who isn't constantly searching for the meaning of life.* Someone who doesnt need to be repeatedly reassured of their character, or any derrivative thereof. Also, Someone who doesn't have a consistant hard on for the disgust of "Corporate America".

Translation: Anyone who is a awesome as me,** or more so, and who can tollorate my quirky sense of being for more than approximately 30 seconds*** Also, walking distance is a major turn on.

* And thus, the meaning of liff.
** Brett's ratio of Awesomeness (rA) is 3,693,452:1.
*** Offer only valid inside the city winnipeg and surrounding area, OAC, an aptitude test may be required, all sales final.

I think everyone needs to see this...
