I love animals (especially horses). I routinely embarass myself and can usually laugh it off (except for bashing my forehead on a pie display case...ughh). At times i think i am smart but then I spell "genius" with an O (genious). I have many nerdy habits but can pull off pretending to be cool ( 315 on Scrabble, baby). I love to go clubbing and dancing to good music even if i can't dance that well and bash my dance partners package while flailing around.

First of all,I am a guy who loves honesty and hates lies. The bad thing about me is that I can't save my money ... as I love to spend money on my cloths, food and car. I love to meet new people. I love to laugh and make other laugh. I also like to go to movies every week. I hate those people who interfere in my personal life. Live and let others live, that's the rule I follow.

I come up with unusual Ideas and plans, some of them don't work out well and non-flammable stuff sort of ends up burning. But, other times it works out amazingly well like my "annual cheap wine tasting", the composter under the rabbit cage to eliminate clean-up and smell, Trick-or-Treating for Beer, or the "make your own damn sushi party". I once won a cross country hitchhiking race, I started it wearing a cow suit.

Ridiculously shy but, ridiculously opinionated. Sometimes I find my argumentativeness to be abrasive. And I love games.

About me? Some say I am crazy. but in reality I am crazy. ah.... People seem to enjoy malesting me on occasions....dirty bastards... I have expereinced many life lessons in my short 24 years of exsitance. I am positive under almost all circumstances. I love hurting myself in lots of new and inventive ways on my mountian bike and skiing. I have yet to find a downhill run I can't master and will hit about anything on my Y-frame carbon fiber mountain bike.

Equally an introvert & extrovert- I'm a paradox of style, smarts & sensibilities. I enjoy discovering the beauty and complexity in the ugly & ordinary. I'm a little bit country, and a little bit hipster girl.

I love life. I love everything about life. Friends are the most essential thing to a happy life and I surround myself with a lot of them! I am from central wisconsin and as the lyric from Rent goes, "You can take the girl out of hicksville, but you can't take the hicksville out of the girl." I love my family. They are one of the best and most supportive families a person could ask for. I am a freshman in college studying to be a special ed teacher.

I'm really laid back. I guess the best way to describe my personality is that I am a hippie. I don't dress like a hippie, but being a hippie is all about the mentality you have about the world and things around you. I am all about peace and love. "For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length.

I am an old man. I look back at the world in which I was immortal, and I shake my fist. They said they would construct a statue. I made those lesser humans statues, was it so much to ask for in return. Well, screw you all, I am still greater. Two and a half miles I walked, one way, up hill, to work. But now I am here. There are all of these people fresh out of highschool. Ah man, now I feel like a dirty old man. At least I do not tempt fate.

i drive around in a white saturn that resembles a pint of milk. i function when the sun sets. if life would let me, i'd probably accomplish nothing. it is frustration with everything and anything that pushes me forward. born cynical. with depressive, ornery tendencies. I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way -- things I had no words for. -Georgia O'Keeffe.
