guitar, clarinet, poetry, and Germany (the language, and the country. I was born there, but I don't remember anything. So I compensate by learning all I can about it.)
Music
I like most types of music, but I can't stand rap or hip-hop. However, I'm particularly fond of guitar blues (also known as Texas blues), swing, some southern rock, punk, classic rock, and pretty much anything with good guitar parts. !!!!!!!!!LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Movies
Michael, The Phantom of the Opera, Walk the Line, Love Actually, Meet the Parents/ Meet the Fockers, City of Angels, Runaway Bride, Kate and Leopold, The Dead Poet's Society, Groundhog Day......and many, many more.
Television
Mythbusters, Friends, Seinfeld, Monk, Psych, and upon occasion, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
Books
The kind with words. Especially if they have a plot, a setting, an author, characters, conflict, and all that stuff you hear from your language teacher. Though I am particularly fond of Michael Crichton's work, and a good mystery never hurts.
Heroes
Spiderman, Superman, and Batman. Were you expecting something more emotional, or sophisticated? Tough noogies. Speaking of noogies, my uncle and grandpa Larry. (yeah, they're both named larry. sue 'em). they've been my heroes all my life, and continue to serve as role models for me. and of course, uncle terry too. ANYWAY. also anyone brave enough to sacrifice their own needs for the good of another, and to love no matter what. They may not inherit the world, but without them, there wouldn't be a world worth inheriting.

About me: RULES TO FOLLOW AROUND ME:
1. I'm a friendly person, but i'm also shy. If I don't talk to you much, it's probably because you don't talk to me much. Talk and i'll respond.
2. I give second chances really easily. But don't take them for granted, or you'll find them running out pretty quickly.
3. If I'm crying in a corner, screaming in pain, or cursing for no reason, the dumbest question to ask me is "are you okay?" or people making chitchat about it. If you want to help, then i appreciate it and will be forever grateful for it. if not, then don't make things worse.
4. If i give you an inch, don't take a mile. i'd have given you one if i wanted you to have one.
5. don't talk to me about politics unless you're actually willing to talk about them, and don't get offended if i tell you my views. they're my beliefs, and if you disagree, i'll still be your friend. just don't hate me for them.
6. if you talk about the weather around me, be prepared for an actual discussion.
7. don't say you like me in private, then make fun of me for liking you whenever anyone else is around. few things piss me off more.
8. if you're going to complain about the cold, then take my jacket when i offer it to you. at least let me help instead of just complaining for complaining's sake.
9. if you come to me with your problems and need help, i'm perfectly okay with it. i honestly want to be there for any and all of my friends when they need me. just don't think that i don't, or stop talking because you think you're intruding on me. if i'm listening to you, it's because i'm okay with listening.
10. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, tell me that i won't understand something just because i'm a guy, or i'm white, or i'm a nerd, or whatever it is. if there's something you don't want to tell me, just say that. but i understand more than I let on, and i'd rather have you be straight with me than insult my intelligence.
11. if you want to be my friend, then don't act. one of the things that i hate most is when people pretend to be someone they're not to make me like them. i'll accept you as long as you accept me. but if i don't even know the real you, then there's no way i can trust you.
12. don't think that just because i get angry when people do some of the things i just mentioned, that i'm a mean or angry person. i'm a pretty nice guy and i'd rather be friends than enemies any day. just treat me with the respect you would want to be treated with. then again, pretty much all my friends already know these rules and abide by them by nature. love you guys!
Who I'd like to meet: Girls (wouldn't we all?), Jimmy page, Slash, Bono, and, given a time machine, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman, Thomas Edison, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, and Jimmy Belsch (he was in the NCAA wrestling hall of fame two years in a row, and also my now-deceased great-uncle.)
that's cool! :D i wish i knew how to play guitar, but i'm not hand-eye coordinated.
it's hard for me to play rock band on medium, lmao.
well, he says something is wrong but he won't tell me! he just says "don't worry about it. it's nothing about you." and he BARELY texts me now.
i understand if he doesn't wanna tell me but, i think it's unfair that he tells me not to worry about it. i'm ALWAYS worried about him because of all his surgeries and medical problems.
hay jake. i just wanted to say i really hope we become good friends, even though you live so far away. you seem pretty nice and i'm glad nico and i know you. :]
