About Me

I'm Chance.


..^I write music .
I'm nice.
I just transferred to Ryan High,
Where I am a senior.
Eh.
Most of my friends are scattered
Throughout the lovely surrounding cities.
My favorite word is Melancholy.
Myspace has grown on me.
I'm a romantic.
I like to watch movies.
I like to write.
I hate pictures of myself.
Baseball is a huge part of my past
I wasn't bad, but don't ask me about it.
I don't play anymore.
I consider myself to be a musician.
But who doesn't?
I played the keys and drums in a band ( Wake Up April )
I play the drums in another ( Transpose. )
I've also started a solo project ( She's My Rushmore )
I'm pretty self conscious.
I have absolutely no reason to be.
I go to way too many shows.
I'm a big fan of brushing my teeth and showering.
I wish that I could play the piano better than I can.
I like it when people type correctly.
I don't know why.
I've been told I have pretty eyes.
I have big lips.
I'm a somewhat likable guy.
I can spell and form coherent sentences.
I like to talk to people who can do the same.
I consider myself at least somewhat intelligent.
I'm a self proclaimed intellectual.
You probably think I'm "emo".
All in all,
I'm a Pretty Naive
And Very Confused Boy..
But I'm Trying.

Some people get the impression that I'm "stuck up" when they meet me for the first time, due to the fact that I don't talk much when I first meet someone. I can assure you, that is not the case. I am just, believe it or not, rather shy.
That's all.
