Ski season starts soon, though, so that should improve matters LOL! - Noah
I'd like to say I'm a pretty laid back guy, but between shennanigans with beautiful women, getting good grades, soda, and the ocassional miss at the fireworks, I'm what you call an enigma in a rabbit. I've been told before, that everyone likes me, and this is totally true. I don't know if it's my charming smile or cleanly cut hair, but something about me radiates a warm godly aura, to people around me. I have many interests. Thank god for scientology!!! - Michael

I truly am The Bisexual. I like questions with ANDs and not ORs. You know, I like to be social AND a hermit. It's tiresome to explain, but I think you get it. Let's see... I recently got a tattoo of a venn diagram between my shoulder blades. My boobs have gotten bigger in the past two years. I'll try any new sport, especially if it's aggressive. I'm trying to learn how to meditate, but it's really damn hard not to lose focus. - Charles
I have housewife tendencies. I apparently have epic story telling skills that make mundane events sound much more fantastic (unsure if this=good or bad quality...the decision isn't in yet). To me the Food Network is just about the best television ever created; I realize I already talked about this in the "television" section...but seriously I really like it. I am quite possibly the worst speller you will ever meet.
