Dude. You forgot the pie.

About Me

More than what you might expect. I love: my family, my friends, great music, good/strange movies, hanging out with cool people, having strange conversations with people, eating at fun places, reading good books, watching plays, going for walks, and if I had a bike I would love bike rides...hmmm, maybe I need a new bike... I hate: when creepy guys leer at me, when I am underestimated, tomatoes, when people play with my head, when people exhale any kind of smoke into my face, math, when Tuffy bites me, when people expect others to pick up their slack, when I ask for hot chocolate only to realize after I have left that they gave me a mocha...damn it!

My Interests

music, movies, Bidwell Park, "basically anything that is awesome," Peet's Summerhouse iced tea, driving around and pretty much throwing gas money out the window, watching Tuffy fly around the linoleum floors in my house, Sierra Nevada beers, being harrassed by foozeball players, long island ice teas from Madison Bear, going to shows when I am sober and watching all the outrageous drunk people, when I walk out the door of...to go anywhere but there, when finals are over, when I discover awesome new music...like Katie Herzig! The never ending war between Jim and Dwight: I love Scrubs and Colin Hay. This is Colin Hay singing "Overkill" on Scrubs:

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who knows a good thing when they see it. People who know what they want, or atleast won't give up until they find it. People who can laugh and be dorks. Anyone who is not too structured and can be a little spontaneous. People who aren't afraid to learn and steer away from ignorance. Anyone who has a passion for music. People with nice teeth...yes teeth.I'd like to meet the owner of this smile:

and the owner of this nose and pair of lips:
