Born Punk, Raised Punk, and Gonna Die Punk!

About Me

My name is Andrew and I live in Maryland and I am a proud nerd!! I have lived in NC, Ma and NY as well. As far as myself goes, I plan to graduate high school with atleast a B average and then go to either NC State or Coastal Carolina. In the future, I can only see myself playing guitar and writing songs. If I have to have a more conformist type job, then I'll go with teaching, Marine Biology or a government job. I am of the Straight Edge lifestyle and I have a very caring and intelligent family. I pretend to act gay way too much and enjoy the company of all my friends. I also believe that you go to school to learn things that will help you in life and that exams and tests are as worthless as the points on Whose Line? But I am a very creative and funny person, and I love Grunge, Ska, punk, pop-punk and alternative music and I love listening to music when running, playing volleyball and playing football. I am currently in a very open and relaxed relationship with Eileen Burke, where we don't care about really being boyfriend/girlfriend, we just wanna have fun when we are around each other. I would like to think of myself as a very caring and kind person, although some might disagree, and I hate practically nobody, so If I do hate you, then you could probably stand next to Hitler and people would say, "Hey, who's the jackass by Hitler?" so yeah. I have a very hard time making decisions or making up my mind because I am still going through an Identity Crisis. I absolutely enjoy theatre and speaking my mind and I have a very wide spread fashion; I wear goth, prep, grunge, punk and then just my style, which normally mixs them together and involved a blue bandanna. So yeah, that's me in a technological nutshell.Favorite Quotes: "You're just mad because goth music sucks"-Beavis and Butthead.
"I'm not racist, I'm just tired"--Jenn Boyer
"Fry, I'm a girl, you're a guy. We're just too different"
Leela: Oh, God, not Zapp Brannigan. Dr. Zoidberg: You know Zapp Brannigan? Leela: Let's just say we've crossed paths. Bender: Was that before or after you slept with him?
Captain Zapp Brannigan: Kif, I'm feeling the Captain's Itch. Kif Kroker: I'll get the powder, sir.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: You must take him to his ancient home world, which will soon erupt in an orgy of invertebrate sex. Fry: Oh baby. I'm THERE. Leela: Fry, do you even understand the word "invertebrate"? Fry: Nope, but that's not the word I'm interested in.
"What can I say, I'm a sucker for a skanker, what can I say, I like original prankster. I want a girl, with a guitar, a girl who rocks out at the local bar. What can I say, I want a ska girl, A girl who share my music, and my world. Someone who thinks,the same as me, a girl that never will give in, to conformity! (Yeah)"--Andrew Hammond
