About Me

i've been told i have obsessive compulsive disorder. i've also been told that i'm a picky motherfucker. i'd like to think i'm just "particular" about certain things. i like to go places and take pictures of buildings. i like to own 2 of the exact same thing. i like to take the 2nd newspaper in a stack and same for everything else. i like to eat noodles. i've never been to a strip club. i always need one more pair of shoes. i don't like places with a lot of people. i am very impatient. i get cranky when i don't eat. i am most definitely an asshole, but apparently my friends think that's the most charming thing about me....

My Interests

doraemon, zelda, saints football, bargins, numbers, food, balvenie, navigation, puzzles, boxes, shoes, being clean, learning how to build shit, going places i've never been, photographing out of airplanes, nerding out.
