Some things were meant to happen, but it still takes work to get it...

About Me

I am German/Irish/Scottish/Swiss/Prussian. Basically, I am white, if you cannot tell by the picture to the left. Like anybody else, I enjoy going out and partying, having a good time, and I am equally content with hanging out at home. The majority of my life has been spent in the Phoenix area, though I am currently slumming in Scottsdale. Sometimes I take a little while to warm up to people, but then after that, I am a loyal friend, and I'd like to think I am fairly enjoyable to be around. I cannot lie. I hate the way it feels, and I just don't see the point. Although I can be very picky, I really don't demand much. I am relatively easy to please. Usually willing to try something new, but also likely to re-try something old.

It appears that I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 ...wooo...
