Time for a bit of an update. "Hangin' round, downtown by myself, and I've had too much time, to sit and think about myself".....okay, so school's out and didn't go so well, but I decided to hell with an associate's in a field I don't want a career in. So I'm just gonna take a few classes for a year while I save up and apply for school out in Oregon so I can finish up my B.A. in Spanish or English or something else that's only slightly useful. Thank God for finally having a life plan! Okay, a little bit about my, uh, ahem, "personality": you know how something will suddenly remind you of a clip from a TV show or song lyrics? EVERYTHING reminds me of a Family Guy/Arrested Development/Seinfeld/etc. episode, a Far Side cartoon, or lyrics from a song. I laugh to myself a lot, and then fail miserably at explaining why to anyone around me. I love to play guitar and listen to music, I'm an avid reader (although I'm being corrupted by too much TV), and I would like to write a book sometime, but I haven't really found my writing voice yet. People tell me that I'm a caring, compassionate friend, and a really funny, random weirdo, and then take it back when I say, "Oh yeah, well you're the...you're...YOU'RE random! Take that!". What's that? You're weak at the knees? More about myself, you say? Well, I tell myself that I need to stop going into long-winded and passionate rants about this or that music. It's kind of a weakness, and probably super-duper irritating to whoever I'm talking at. ;) Also, I just realized recently that sometimes I try so hard to be interesting and funny and a great catch that it turns into being self-absorbed. Pardon me? I couldn't hear what you said--I was busy talking about myself. Another thing to work on, I guess.... :)
Okay, check this out--I'm ridiculously proud of this, and my other accomplishments pale in comparison. I...am...building an electric guitar. And it's a blast. And suddenly I like tools. Woodworking. Bits and blades and torque and kerf and T-squares and all the other cool woodworking crap...good thing I work at Home Depot, huh? And this guitar just looks totally vintage and totally boss. I'm pretty impatient to get it finished so I can start on the next one. The ironic thing is that I'm not sure if I'd be able to build a bookshelf if my life depended on it.... Surviving twenty-two years--almost twenty-three now--is a pretty big deal. More tangibly: I'm a helluva writer when I feel like it. Just ask, I'll show ya some stuff. Or even write ya something special. :) National Merit Scholar, Honor Society, GATE, AP classes, all that high school nonsense, and a couple really awesome years at Willamette University in Oregon...and surviving one really, really awful year there. And learning to take life one step, one day at a time. Too many people rush past the beauty of the world, and I'm never going to be one of them again. Let's see, what else...guitar? I'm getting more comfortable playing and singing for people, memorizing more of the songs I play, writing some pretty good ones (and some pretty crappy ones), and generally having a blast with it. And I love to show off my not-so-mad skillz and hear what people think, so I'll totally serenade you, like it or not. ;)
I think I'm ready for something serious, finally. I'm tired of casual dating and being with girls that I have no future with...I'm even more tired of not dating, actually, but the casual thing definitely isn't a good fit for me. I'm ready for something real, or something that might turn into something real. I guess what I'm saying is that I want to meet a best friend, someone to be romantic with, someone to plan a future with, someone to make love to instead of just....Well, you get the idea. Long-term, here I come! So message me, tell me about yourself, and maybe, just maybe, there'll be something there.
