CURRENT MISSION

I'm unable to connect with my plastic beer-pong peers, so I figured people mad enough to sleep on a stranger's couch are mad enough to be my friends.

ABOUT ME

Upon first meeting someone, I tend to be quiet and a bit awkward, and though the awkwardness probably doesn't ever really go away, I will lighten up and talk - at great lengths even - if comfortable. I love reading and writing. I've always wanted to travel freely like many of you, but have been stuck in the ever-failing education system which keeps me grounded here in Ohio. "Normal" people and "average" situations situations bore me. I am in an Improv Comedy group that performs free shows to the public. I drink. The number-one word to describe me is probably "weird." Or maybe "awkward," not sure.

PHILOSOPHY

Be realistic, but don't take anything too seriously.
