This is rather long ..(updated: 09/20/07)..

Uhhh...I'm ..19.. ..20.. 21 years old. I have green eyes and brownish blonde hair. I have been told by my ex-roommate that I look like a pasty white boy when I wear shorts (I think he was right on the money :( ). I grew up in a suburb of New York known as Pelham. I've been living in a tiny town (Scott City, Missouri) in the midwest for a few years. I'm currently going to school in Chicago...studying Architectural Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology....so obviously I'm a big time nerd. I'm currently a ..sophomore.. ..junior.. senior. I can be extremely quiet. Don't take it personally. I have random outbursts. I am easily amused, but don't show too much excitement. I can crack up laughing at the smallest things. I can write awesome rhymes. Taco Bell is probably the only fast food I could eat on a daily basis. I get a runny nose when I eat. I'm courteous, but I will wipe that snot in front of you anyway because it can be quite annoying. I get paranoid. I procrastinate. Don't mess with me when I'm sleeping, I'll kill you. Not really. I'm moody when I'm tired. If I'm mean to you, I'm most likely just pushing your buttons and switching your levers. My attention span is short if I want it to be. My mind is usually completely blank. I have an empty stare most of the day. Even when I'm having "fun". Fun in quotes because I don't know what's fun anymore. I'm indecisive due to a conglomeration of the above. And the fact that I don't really care about petty things. I can list all of my friends on a yellow post-it note. Not pink or neon green because they are too fancy and distracting. I'm not a follower or a leader. I enjoy writing about small random thoughts. Few people will read this entire thing. I know this because I usually just skim through people's thingies and pick out the things that really stand out. I will keep adding on to this. Right now it's the end of August. I never know what to write in these things. It would be easier for somebody else to explain me for me. If you want to know me more, just read my countless blog entries or message me or something. My bologna has a first name. It's O-idontlikebolognaitgivesmegas. kthx. I like my meat on the right side of the plate. Everything else goes on the other side. I usually eat the vegetables first. Or the salad first. But will definitely eat the soup before I begin on the salad. Sometimes with the salad I will take a bite of meat too. But I won't finish the meat before the salad. Only vice versa. I like to put my napkins on the left side of the plate. But far enough away so if food falls of the plate the napkins don't get dirty. I wipe my face and hands a lot while I'm eating. I enjoy not having food splattered across my face. I enjoy fresh fruit more than sweets. I don't like too much sugar. It gives me headaches because I don't eat that much sugar. I grew up not eating a lot of sweets. Or soda, for that matter. Soda is a very recent occurence in my household. I can drink Sprite all the time. It's very bubbly and I like it. Ok bye. Bravo for reading this far. I usually just add on random nonsense when I feel like updating my space. Ok yeah, I may seem like an alcoholic from some of my blogs, but I'm really not. I'm a really nice guy. I hate drama. I hate taking things for granted all of the time. I have nice hands. You should come check out my hands some day. I wear briefs not boxers. I hear briefs lower your sperm count because testicles function better in cooler environments. Hence why they aren't inside of my body. Just kind of dangling around. Anyways. I like my briefs. I have a really deep voice. You know what they say about deep voices. Big adam's apple. The year 2006 makes me feel old because I was born in 1986. It's now my fourth semester at IIT. I have a 3.72 GPA. I am not one of those excessive gum chewers. I rarely chew gum. I probably get more enjoyment out of playing with the little foil wrappers. I like it when the weather is in between cold and hot. I love mint chocolate chip ice cream and goobers. I prefer electric shavers because blades rip my face off. I have just been informed that I have been challenged to a WhoCanMakeTheLongestAboutMeRace. Feel free to join in. I am kind of obsessive when it comes to setting my alarm to get up. I try to get up at least an hour before class so I can get breakfast. I like eating three meals a day. Two meals makes me eat too much junk food in between. I catch myself setting my alarm at least 10 times in succession. I enjoy waking up on the digit 7. I have one alarm set to 7:17 and the other is set to 8:07. Although these times stay programmed in the alarm, I constantly go back to check if they've changed. They haven't changed, but it makes me feel good to check. I have some guy's wallet on my desk. I found it at the train stop and it's been sitting here for at least 4 months. I never quite got to sending it to him. I often put things off and they never get done OH WELL, is what I say. I am kind of hairy. I have hair on my fingers and toes. No back hair though. The hair on my head has always been wavy. I can't style it much. I like wearing jeans twice before washing. The first day they are clean, but the second day they are worn from that 'stiff just washed state' and are more comfy. I am willing to make this cleanliness tradeoff if it means super soft jeanage touching my legs. I'm a clean freak. Don't put your drinks on my furniture unless I invited you over to drink, in which case it's ok. If you spill, you're licking it up. Spill it on my bed and I bite your head off. My knees hurt when it rains. I have a freckle that looks like a Times New Roman capital 'N' on the palm of my right hand. I'm Irish, so I seem to have the trait of pale white skin and dark brown freckly moles everywhere. You can trace out the big dipper on my left shoulder. My right ring finger has a bump from where I hold my pencil. I sneeze whenever I go from inside to outside and the sun is bright in my eyes. My first pet was a lizard named Fido. He died when I moved to Missouri. I neglected him because I got a dog. I still feel bad about it. My face turns bright red when I do physical activity. I always wanted a brother and a golden retriever. Moreso the golden retriever than the brother. I often crack up hysterically laughing over things that aren't funny. I think into things too much, I guess. One of my eyes is squintier than the other. I have a slight hump in my nose because somebody's head rammed it playing basketball. I don't like needles. They make me queasy. I can take the pain no problem, but the anticipation and after effects kill me. My blood type is AB negative. It's the rarest blood type. I used to think this was a really bad thing, like I would bleed to death if I didn't get AB- blood, but turns out I can recieve the negative of A,B, or O. I used to bite my nails but I don't anymore. I rarely get sick or get headaches. When I download music, I usually download the whole CD. I enjoy iPods and iTunes and iThis and iWantyourbod. I can normally be found wearing Nikes. I didn't start wearing belts until 2003. It took me a while to realize that they prevent your pants from falling down and the infamous 'plumber's crack'. I think the cell phone I use is one of those free ones. I don't need a camera phone or any of that jazz because I barely talk on it anyway. Somebody should call me, that would be fun. I like nibbling on tortilla chips. I've had 8 adult teeth pulled. Four towards the front and my four wisdom teeth. I think I have a small mouth. I still have a bottom retainer but never wore the top one. I grew up on mostly Sega videogames. Gamegear, Genesis, and Saturn...oh yeah. I love my Xbox 360. I only buy DVDs in widescreen format. Full screen is just a waste. I wear hoodies religiously now. I'm tall and often have a problem with shrunken clothes. I like arranging things. If you disarrange my arrangement I will probably put it back to the way it was. Keep doing it and I'll show your face my knuckle arrangement. I love the trains in Chicago. The ones in New York are too confusing, although I haven't ridden them much. I haven't ridden a bike in ages. A popular nickname of mine is KDOG because I guess people have a hard time pronouncing my name. I picked up this same nickname in three different states. I drive kind of fast. Get out of the left lane if you're going under 80 please. I don't know if I mentioned this yet, but I hate tomatoes. I love potatoes. I'm not a big fan of tots or french fries. My handwriting is legible but horrible. Mechanical pencils are my preference. I didn't do any sports in school. I was over ten years old when I learned to swim. I'm nearsighted. Everything more than 3 feet away is a blur when I'm not wearing contacts. My prescription is currently at -4.25 in each eye. I can't even see the big bold E on the vision charts. My sister's husband called me waterhead back in the days because I had/still have a big head. The fastest I've ever been in a car is 125 miles per hour. I'm trying my hardest to win back the longestaboutme title. I listen to music whenever I'm at my desk. I need quiet when I'm studying or reading or doing homework. The very first version of my about me section had a bragging part, so I think I will add it back. I graduated second in my high school class. I got a total of 3 A-'s and 101 A's during my high school career. I scored a 32 on the ACT, which gained me acceptance to pretty much any school. I have a little sister named Kathryn. When she was growing up, I realized that I don't like dirty diapers. I had to change her once. Well actually she thought it was funny to throw the dirty diaper at me. I don't like the smell of other people's poop or animal poop. Not that I go around smelling your poop. My own poop doesn't bother me. I like playing cards and bingo and board games. Winning gives me an adrenaline rush. If I win a huge pot in a poker match, you will probably see me shaking as I collect my winnings. Winning makes me shake I guess. I said that I like mint chocolate chip ice cream, but I especially like it in malted/milkshake form. I prefer hot chocolate to tea to coffee. I'm craving a good tuna fish sandwich. The best tuna fish sandwich I ever had was in Montauk Point, Long Island, New York. They have good lobster rolls out there too. I want to go back there to fish. I heart fishing. I hate when people stand still on escalators and block you. I have some things that I collect/collected. I collect old/foreign money. This is a collection I started long ago and still continue to this day. In elementary school, I had tons of ninja turtles and lego sets. I gave the ninja turtles to my cousin, and the legos are still in my closet. I was a fad-whore. I had pogs and a bunch of different sized slammers. I'd have at least 3 electronic pets with me in class. I was a friggin' yo yo master for a while. I have a $100 metal yo yo. I was solely responsible for bringing the yo yo fad from New York to Missouri. I noticed that rural areas are really behind compared to urban east coast areas when it comes to a lot of things. "Yo yo" is one of my favorite greetings online and in person. When I was young, I used to take electronics apart and put them back together in working condition. I've never had a girlfriend. My parents were never married. My neighbor in Missouri has pet turkeys that chase the car. I like to yell at them in their native language. I can't leave a table at the end of a meal until I finish all of my drink. I can if it's a fast food fountain drink. I pee constantly. You know what I mean....it's not gushing out of me every second of the day. I hate the dead silence that comes when a professor asks a simple question that everybody knows the answer to, but nobody speaks up. I hate people that constantly ask stupid questions because they weren't paying attention. I like showing up on time to things. I hate being late or rushed. I think it would be cool if flowers replaced grass. If my clothing doesn't 'match' I really don't care. I am often mistaken for other people because I'm a generic white boy. Computer errors are annoying. I am usually feeling devastated when Myspace doesn't work. I brush everytime I eat something. I floss once a day. I almost always wear an undershirt. It makes my man boobs appear smaller. I played the flute for two years. My wrists sometimes hurt because I ran into a concrete wall and sprained both of them at the same time. I've never broken a bone. I probably have damaged bones but never had them checked out. I've been to the doctor once in the past 8 years. I had a terrible cough and digestive pains. My dorm room needs posters or something on the walls. My flat screen TV is sitting on top of my minifridge. That's how I roll. I make my bed everyday. I don't like going to sleep in an unmade bed. Unless I'm sleeping in your bed. I tend to do a lot of homework the night before it's due. I don't want to be single when I'm 20. I like the delis in New York. I prefer cheese pizza to meat pizza. I like powerade/gatorade. I have no religious beliefs. I don't particularly care about domestic U.S. politics. My eyes turn bright green after being out in the ocean in the summer. They seem to fade in the wintertime. I find the stars and universe mesmerizing. I am sad that my questions will never be answered in my lifetime. I like clean people. I am a good listener. Dust is really annoying. My hands get sweaty easily. Kate Beckinsale is probably my most ideal woman. If you look like her, I want your bod. Things that smell like perfume also make me sneeze. I don't wear cologne because it tends to give me headaches. I either walk really fast or really slow. I always feel huge compared to other people. Finishing difficult homework makes me happy. I like chocolate mousse cake. I want to travel the world. I suck at socializing. I usually hold onto the banister when I'm walking down stairs. I'm afraid of falling. Urinating is the first task I accomplish when I wake up. I hate dirty bathrooms. I like to take long showers with hot, high pressure water. I like cold showers after going to the beach. I used to sing opera in the shower and around the house, but I don't anymore. My singing skills have progressed to rap/pop songs in the car or at my desk. I fidget with my hands a lot. I have almost no flexibility. My skin tastes salty when I lick it. I am not afraid of the dark. I kind of like it sometimes. I stare at things a lot. I am distracted by shiny things and things that make odd noises. If you put weird noises inside of the 'bean' at Millenium Park, I would be distracted for days. I have yet to go to the top of any of Chicago's buildings. Sometimes when I'm trying to figure out what to do, I'll slap my thighs four times to the beat 'do doo do doo'. I like to walk with my hands in my pocket. I am not afraid of pain, but I try to avoid it anyway. I lick my lips a lot. I like it when girls check me out. I often catch myself licking my lips as girls are checking me out. I like my laundry folded neatly. I stack my socks and underwear in sets of three. My socks are always on the right side of my drawer, and underwear on the left. I tend to save my money and then spend it all really quickly. At least one part of my body is in pain/sore at any given point in time. I don't retie my shoes when I put them on. I just slip them on and off as many times as I can without ever having to retie them. I don't like walking with shoes on carpet. Carpet is more enjoyable without shoes. I like laughing and making others laugh. I enjoy rocking out at concerts and having my crotch rubbed against many a buttocks. I hate when one homework assignment takes more than five hours. I'm a good writer, but I really dislike writing papers. I prefer stairs to escalators, but often take the elevator to my second floor dorm room. I've used the same electric toothbrush for nearly ten years. Sometimes if I position it just right, it shakes my eyeballs and I'm like "whoah, my eyeballs just shook." I don't like squeaky floors because it affects my sneakiness. I guess I just don't like to make noise when I walk. Swishy pants and squeeky shoes suck. I hate really chewy meat that takes hundreds of chews to get down. I swing my arms very little when I walk so I look kind of stiff. I usually hock a big ol' loogie when I wake up in the morning. The one thing I dislike about warm weather is the sweat. I have the urge to fix my hair whenever somebody's butt rubs against my head whilst crowd surfing. If I crowdsurfed, I would be a longboard. Gigantic burritos bring a twinkle to my eye. Now that I think about it, I also dislike non-squeeky floors because it means others can sneak up on me. I like Tobasco sauce on my pizza. Three thousand words later and I'm still single. Missouri smells better than Chicago. The bugs are annoying though. I like rain but I hate mud. Thunderstorms are my nigga yo. Fat people are kind of gross. Dialup internet frustrates me. I think my preferred hand soap smell is apples. I save too much stuff. I like flags from different countries. I don't like going to the same beach more than once. I think I'm turning into a lazy American. My sister informed me that my feet are smooth looking. Oh man, I love tacos with all of my heart. I hate AOL free trial CDs. The only mail I get is credit card offers. I've never had a birthday party. If I were to rate the Fanta girls, or Fantanas, in order of hottest to ugliest, it would have to be purple, yellow, orange, and red. The purple one has kind of a sexy latina look that I love so much. The yellow one is a hot blonde. The orange one is a fine black chick. The red one is a black chick that isn't as fine, in my honest opinion. Ice cream is good on occasion. Too much makes me sick. I think that Calvin Klein makes overpriced garbage. I like getting souvenirs from people's trips. I never plan on using my right to vote in the U.S. My dreams are very elaborate. Sometimes I'm saddened if I wake up before they end. I don't know the muffin man. I start with my left foot when going up or down stairs. My middle name is Thomas. I hate people that have things 'raining' down from the top of their myspace page. I'm a cheeseball, but that's too cheesy for me. Tags are itchy and shouldn't be included on clothing and bedding. I hate the phrase 'Made in China'. I wish CDs were scratchproof so you wouldn't need the plastic cases. Salami and soda is a bad combination. I enjoy trying new things. I want to stand on top of the biggest pyramid in Egypt. I'm starting to prefer the metric system to the english system. Fire is fun to play with. I'm never satisfied with anything. I always want better. I hate watches that are devoid of numbers or any marking that could be used to count. One of my watches is slightly radioactive. Paintballing is fun because I can shoot people without killing them. Traffic in Missouri is annoying because it is so unexpected. I have thirteen dogs and a small lake filled with my frog and turtle friends. Pong is overrated. Having your teeth drilled isn't cool. I hate when bugs randomly drop on you while you're reading in bed. I like turkey better when it's thinly sliced on sandwiches with mayo and lettuce, rather than thickly sliced on my plate with gravy. I carry my wallet and cellphone in my front pockets, because I don't want to have a lumpy butt. I know how to spell "hors d' oeuvre" because of a Far Side comic on my sister's closet door that I always looked at when I was younger. I have a killer poker face. I shake whenever I win something.
