About Me

I'm a big nerd that gleefully freaks out when people have similar movie collections/taste to mine, I snort when I'm laughing hard enough, I probably drink too much, and no I will not add your band.

I also probably think that your dumb random messages are creepy, and if I actually reply to them, it's because 1)My roommate and I are laughing so hard at you that we have to egg on your sadness for more lols, or 2) I am so creeped out and scared that you're going to chop me up with a meat cleaver if I don't reply.

My Interests

not having to drive two hours every day, being a slob, dancing, hugging, kissing (but only with good looking people. however, uggos are free to watch.), the word cunt, taking random walks around downtown from 1-3 a.m., burritos, pimping, making fun of my past, mystery science theater, being a creep, being a creep about edward norton, laughing, having fun, and finally knowing what it feels like to be happy about what I'm doing. I'm not there yet, but I feel like I'm damn close.

I'd like to meet:

So right now, I pretty much hate everything. That's a bit of hyperbole, but I'll be damned if I'm not getting close.
