First and foremost, I like people. Meeting them, talking to them, having them buy me drinks at the bar cause I'm just so darn friendly. Or just have a high tolerance for making an ass of myself. Either way, it works. I am an urban explorer!
I love my friends. I don't get to see the all of them nearly as much as I'd like, but trust me, I appreciate the good ones and I am thankful for them.
I love good conversations with friends. Philosophy. Politics. Religion. The Paranormal. Psychology. Humanity. People. Relationships. Technology. Computers. Poop jokes. That's right, I said poop jokes.
Just please do not talk to me about reality television. If you do, I might strike you down in a furious rage!
I like to, *gasp* read! Nothing like sitting back with a nice book on a bright afternoon outside. I love to read and I enjoy writing. Be it stories, poetry, essays on philosophy, psychology, politics, humanity, or just something based on poop jokes. Whatever and whenever the mood strikes.
Now the random stuff. I play a little guitar. I like comic books too. And computers. And video games. Yes, I can be a nerd. One big wicked nerd! I'm addicted to crossword puzzles. I love the outdoors. Camping and hiking are great past times. I love a good swim. Or some coed softball. Oh who knows.
I love the train. I hate the bus. I like doing things with my hands and I like fixing stuff and building stuff like tinkering with a car for example. Not like pimping my ride, but fixing it up and being handy dandy. Give me a log and I'll probably try to carve you a canoe. You may be twenty years older when I finish, but you'll have a canoe man! A FREAKIN' CANOE!
I enjoy helping people too. That's me, Dear freakin' Abby somedays. Or that other one, Ann Landers, but she's an uppity old crone. Now Abby...mmmm...that's one sexy broad!
My Good Twin.
Short of that, I wouldn't mind meeting just about anyone else interesting.

Ok, seriously, does anyone read this stuff?
The Daily Show (of course), Family Guy, The Simpsons, ok, cartoons in general to be honest, the news...uhhh...I really don't watch television too often to be honest. That involves sitting in one place too long...I've been a sucker for Heroes too. Why? Cause every man is a sucker for superhero stuff!
