I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm really not that complex. If you know me, you know all about me, and if you don't.... I am at most times a bit of a social retard. Sorry. So if you can see past that, I commend and appreciate you.... Also, I am quite clumsy and rather proud of it! I'm not as dumb as I seem, but not as smart either.My vices include but are not limited to: tcby, elipses, sci-fi mcnerdiness, ketchup, zoos, live music, wikipedia, World of Warcraft (what, who said that??)Please note the following: -My name is not Lora, Lori, Laurie, or Lauren. Get it right. -I'm not the best at anything. -I wish I were more and less trendy. -I have no ambition. -I cannot keep a secret. So don't tell me.AIM- mxpxglass

My Interests

I enjoy: -music. if you get stuck in a room with me, expect to hear about it. -people-watching (aka staring) -shopping... actually "just looking"Because I am proud....
