Although I dropped $100,000 in the market, baby, I found a million dollars in your smile :)

About Me

First of all, click here for a bunch of big pictures of me and my friends.Anyway... In Fall of 2005, I moved from Utah (I'm not Mormon, though) to Wisconsin to study Computer Engineering at Milwaukee School of Engineering. Don't let the Computer Engineering part scare you, though. I'm not a complete dork. Only a little bit :) My hobbies include water skiing, playing an awesome game called fugitive and playing dominoes/board games/cards with friends. My current favorite card game is Spades, but other favorites include Knock, Idiot, and Hand and Foot. Coming to Wisconsin, I've been forced to learn Cribbage, Sheepshead and Euchre. Also, all very fun games. My favorite board game is and will always be The Farming Game (which sounds lame, because it actually is a game about farming, but it's really fun and addicting, I promise.) Clue is pretty fun as well. As for dominoes, the only game I know how to play is Mexican Train. I love learning new games of any type, so if you know any games not mentioned here (which I'm sure you do, as I didn't mention very many) then I'd appreciate it if you would teach me how to play! (Don't worry, I'm a fast learner). Dance Dance Revolution and a few computer games (Black & White 2, the Myst series, old SNES games) also take up quite a bit of my time.
Now, I know it kind of goes against my saying that I'm not a dork, but I really like Dance Dance Revolution. I'm not crazy about it like some people, but I do enjoy playing every once in a while. Oh, and I'm pretty good, too.
I also really like to watch a good movie every now and then.

You should instant message me. Now. I'm most likely online, and I love it when random people talk to me. Here, I'll even get you started. Copy and paste in to an IM and fill in the blanks: "Hello. My name's ______. I saw you on myspace and for some odd reason, I was compelled to IM you. Here's my myspace link: www.myspace.com/______. How's life?" There. Now you have no excuses. Get to it!
Oh, and add me on facebook!

I'd like to meet:

Well, if you've read this far and still want to meet me, then you're probably the type of person I'd like to meet (i.e. people who actually want to get to know me instead of just adding me to their friends list). I'd love to add you, but if you're just going to sit on my friends list and never talk to me, what's the point? Because of this, I probably won't add you unless you send me an email along with your add request. Even if you just say "hi," at least I'll know you read this.
As for who I'd like to be in a relationship with, here are a few of my expectations:

    I would expect you to be with me and me only - no fooling around with other guys. I would expect to be the one you come to when you need comfort and support, and I would expect you to provide me with the same. I would expect you to be not only a boyfriend, but a best friend. I would expect you to be comfortable going out with me, and I would need to feel comfortable being with you. I would expect to spend time and become friends with your friends, and I would expect you to become a part of my group of friends. As a result of the previous expectations, it is imperative that you live relatively nearby so enough time can be spent together. I would expect you to be motivated and driven in your life. I don't tolerate lethargy, especially in your career aspirations.
