About Me


I'm pretty laid back and just like to have a good time. I try not to take things so seriously, but I do have a tendancy to be terribly introspective. I'm more of an intellectual than a superficial person. I think a sharp, well-educated mind and a great, funny personality are much more appealing than a "spiffy shell."
I've realized that when I first meet people, I seem shy, but that's mainly because I'm always reserved around people I don't know -- once I get to know you, I can relax a lot more. I drink a lot of water. I have a quirky sense of humor, have a tendency to be sarcastic, and on more than one occasion, a pessimist...
I guess there's a lot more that I could say, but what do you really choose to put in a tiny box in order to best summarize yourself? That's kind of hard...
