I'm aNdrew. For some reason, I prefer to capitalize the "N" in my first name, rather than the "a". Don't ask me why, because I really don't know. I'm 27 years old and fairly new to the state of California (I come from a great place known as Minneapolis, MN).
There's all kinds of things I could say on here about me, and all kinds of things I could not say. But the truth is that I am a constantly evolving and changing person, and I don't feel like having to re-write or update this "about me" bio thing every six months. What I can say is that I am a creative and open-minded person. I'm very passionate about the things I love most in life- particularily music, art and creativity. I think the best way I could even attempt to label myself would be with the simple word "me."
I'm very confident in the things I believe in and the opinions I have, but also very insecure. Though I hate to admit it, I worry way too much about what other people in my life think, and worry way too much about the way that I look. I could be a poster child for someone with major anxiety, I am a worry-wart. I believe that everything in life happens for a reason, but I'm still highly sensitive. I have a very blunt and charismatic sense of humor that can be too much for some people and too "in-your-face", but its only one layer that covers up the extremely emotional little guy that I am. Sometimes I speak without thinking. I have no trouble speaking my mind to strangers and standing up for myself, but when it comes to my closest friends, sometimes that assertiveness turns into insecurity and fades. I love the few people I hold close to me more than anything in the world.
Things that make me happy are a diverse cd collection, my black cat Benji, going to shows, writing, good company with good people who constantly challenge me and make me smile, and anything having to do with The Nightmare Before Christmas (I'm pretty obsessed). Things that make me sad and/or mad include ICP, "fashion mullets", ignorance, songs by Avril Lavigne, and any place that makes me feel like a dork.
I guess what it all comes down to is that- as Alanis Morissette best says- I haven't got it all figured out just yet. On most days, I can honestly say that that single song by Alanis Morissette (Hand In My Pocket) is pretty much the easiest way to sum me up... cuz while I know who I'm not, I still don't know who I am. And to me, that's honest living- and the most honest answer I can give in telling the story of aNdrew, and just who exactly he is.
