I don't wanna be a grownup

About Me

Currently a senior studying Linguistics in the beautiful Northwest, Rene is a 6' tall brunette with brown eyes and a delightful come-hither smile.His turn-ons include: candlelit dinners, acrobatic strippers, head wounds, and languages he can't speak.His turn-offs include: mean people, ants in my pantry, people who suspect that everything I say is a euphemism for something dirty, and knife fights.-strike that! UPDATE!-Graduated, working in general office monkery and having a grand old time. Anything else you'll have to ask yourself!(I still hate knife fights and the rest, though...)-strike that too! FURTHER UPDATE!-I'm doing other stuff now like a real adult. Plenty of office monkery still, of course.
