About me: I have blond hair and a red beard. I trim them both when I remember to. In 2003 I hiked 2100 miles of the 2173 mile-long Appalachian Trail. That's a lot of 2s. Later I went back and finished the parts I'd skipped. Team Orange!! Somebody once told me I reminded them of Michael Clarke Duncan in Armageddon. Still thinking about that one. (I'm white and a whole lot smaller, for two things) I have two parents and three younger sisters who all rock.
and proud of it.
Who I'd like to meet: I like people. Well, most people. Unless we already know each other pretty well, I don't really want to see pics of you in yer underwear/nekkid/with yer bi-curious roommate. Call me an old fart.
I just shot 6 bullets at 9 zombies while inside a building and missed every last one of them? I also tried attacking them with an axe, a knife and my fists... no exp for me.
So you know I've never really liked Beaker (he scared me as a kid), but this is really funny and I almost feel sorry for him! And I love the ending with Statler and Waldorf. Bravo!
hey - also I don't have any contact info for you. I made a 'who to call in case I die' list for Z and you were on there but I don't have any contact info to give him except, 'his profile is viking us on myspace'
we should go see christina soon!!! my car is on the outs so YOU drive, muhahahah!!!! sorry i had to bail at the pub the other night.... sooo sleeeepy...
Hey young man, Happy Birthday. Keep blazing your own path through this thing called life and always, always take the path less traveled cause then you'll have a better chance of running into me, lol. Happy Birthday man
