I'm fairly short (5'8") and proud of it! I like to laze around the house some days and get out and get a little fresh air on others. I work for Barnes and Noble (yay!), which brings home the bacon. Oh and i love bacon, by the way; it's the best part of the pig. I'm kind of a quiet kid, until you get to know me. Then i won't shut up. No, but i'm a nice guy most of the time. I enjoy helpin other people out in whatever way i can. I love to write (I'm currently working on a fiction novel) and I love to sketch and make movies. I plan on attending Columbia College in Chicago this fall to study film. But that's about the extent of my creativity and... yeah... so thats me in a nutshell i suppose. A paragraph-shaped nutshell.
This is from www.explosm.net. It's their daily webcomic called Cyanide and Happiness. This one's pretty funny, I think:
