About Me

My name is Michael, and I go to school. I'm a complicated person, and whatever mood I'm in when I wake up is pretty much who I am. There really is no default when it comes to me. I'm a consistent bachelor who can't help but to be introverted at times. I think too much, but I like it for the times I come up with something profound. I'm a great guy and a good friend. The most random and eccentric person you may ever meet. I can be crude, but I'm very conscientious of decency, niceness, and politeness. I love to talk and to listen. In other words, I'm an eager conversationalist. I like to think that I'm intelligent, or at least people tell me that I am, so I guess it must be true, to an extent.

My Interests


I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet a girl with certain qualities someday. I am seeking somebody who possesses deep empathy and understanding. A beautiful woman. Bright, young, and looking for something in this world. Somebody who is so complex that she seems self-contradicting, in a sense. For instance, mature but likes to watch Spongebob. That kind of thing. It's hard for me to get close to people, so it's important to me that I can find a girl who embodies a good deal of what I mentioned. I would totally wait too.It turns out that I am not as open-minded as I seem. If you're the kind of girl who likes a guy who is stupid and fake enough to immerse himself entirely into the temporary trends and shallow likes of a wigger (not gangsta, you're only a damn wigger), emo, nerd, jock, popular kid, goth, etc., then I will waste no time with you, because you're probably a little retarded, and you're most certainly a conformist. Look at the old people around you. The punks and the hippies have all settled down. There, I can be angry too. Note: I can make an exception for a clever, artsy chick. They make me kind of weak and vulnerable.If you hate yourself so much that you need a label, then you're truly beneath me.

Robert Downey Jr., my favorite

Tori Amos, my siren
