About me: Easily amused, hard to impress. Have expensive taste, but hardly ever pay retail. Enjoy exploring what makes other people tick, tend to keep my own ticks to myself (though, I'm learning to share more... sometimes too much). Love a good competition, despise game playas. Enthusiastic about driving (even getting lost), but being late tries my patience. Hate being the center of attention, love holding the spotlight. Cherish my personal space, still take pleasure in sharing what I have been blessed with. Believe that self-exploration is equally as important as the exploration of others. Perfectionist (to a fault), but I'm working on that. Cynical, but not hopeless. Want more for others than they generally want for themselves. Very casual, painfully honest, and absolutely unstoppable.
Have taken the time, made the effort, and am finally "comfortable in my own skin." I'd highly recommend it.
Oh, and if you ever want to know what I think about something... just ask. I'm not always one to offer up the info voluntarily, but if you want to know, I'm more than willing to share. Few things are sacred, and no subject is off limits...

Who I'd like to meet: Adventure-seekers, conversationalists, "foodies", people with lots of photos on their page... and folks with more than one hobby/interest - they're a lot more interesting to talk to. :)
Who I don't want to meet: People that tell you one thing, mean the exact opposite, then hold the fact that you believed what they actually said against you. Such a waste...

Thanks Andrea! Is that you in your avatar offering me a bag o' chips? :) Unfortunately I'm going further away again. Back to Amsterdam. But I'm sure I'll be back there someday. I miss hotlanta and knoxville, new orleans...
So what do you want rul rul rul rul bad for a housewarming prez? Throw me some ideas. Hey, is your profile pic a sketch of you? I can see a resemblance but it's not blatant...
Got your housewarming invitation this morning - Perfect Timing! Greg and I are going to be in Atlanta that weekend. I'm still solidifying plans so I haven't "officially" accepted via your web invitation, but will do when we know something concrete. Can't wait to see you guys!
I'm so glad you are able to settle in - now comes the FUN part - making the house your home! It's a lot of work, but it seems like that kind of thing is right up your alley.
not as much fun as the trip down, but largely uneventful. was really happy to get home by the time we did... but am so happy to know such good folks down south such as yourself.
