Mister Andrew

Everything you think about, I think about differently

About Me


If we haven't met,
or you don't know one of my friends,
or if you're a band
DON'T TRY TO ADD ME!!!
(or at least send a message first)
If you told me a year ago that I would be moving to Hawaii in a year, I'd ask you about aliens
Some quotes I like
"The quality of culture is best determined by those who set the bar high" - Celia Hirshman
"When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it, and when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind." - Lord Kelvin
"Remove weight -- and add lightness" - Colin Chapman
I think it is better to say I'm not sure there is a God and live your life with kindness and respect for people than to say I know there is a God and then do bad things -Rafael Nadal
If you are a girl and I say hi to you, it doesn't mean I want to bone you.
I am pathologically honest. I never say god bless, although you might get a gesundheit or sante if you're nice. I swear, I don't curse or cuss. I productively procrastinate, as in doing the dishes when i don't want to write a paper.
Half of the time I'm very outgoing, the other half of the time I'm introverted; I'm rarely in between.
I like music this much.
If you got this far, why don't you keep going?
Talents
1 * I give great massages.
2 * I can count to 10 in ten languages.
3 * I love doing laundry.
4 * I'm killer at trivia and word games
5 * I have excellent vocabulary, grammar, and spelling skills
6 * I have atypically great long term memory (short term on the other hand...)
7 * I dance like someone has a gun to my head.
Writing is my on again off again best friend. I get the hiccups when I eat bread. I hope to get on Jeopardy

Bike? No, for seriously, not lying
