I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

A 25-year-old male, who lives by himself in a basement. A "renaissance man" who spreads himself too thin creatively. Really values a good shower. Can run VERY fast, but not for very long (he will shake you before he gets tired guaranteed). Writes, draws, acts. Is sort of generically handsome. Goes almost everywhere on foot. Is kind of a nerd. Has manners. Is all limbs. Will GET YOU FOR THIS. Worries too much. Overdresses when he's nervous. Won't forget you when he's famous. He is currently studying in the Second City Conservatory, and is working on an independant comic book called "Nightlab!" wherein he has based all the bad characters on you.

My Interests

Art, artists, storytelling, mischief, being with people, being alone, food, other people's conversations, random acts of comedy in life, drawing, feelings, cute little kids, going out, film, the new sincerity, Hip Hop culture, comics and animation, helpin' people out, sketch comedy, sleep

I'd like to meet:

I don't want to meet anymore people who "don't care" and have to constantly remind you of that at every opportunity. This is very fashionable but I don't really like it.
