About me: A Few Random Tidbits
(I apologize in advance for this resembling a poorly written business memo. Defining myself in text is slightly difficult - I'm really not a nutcase who only speaks in idioms.)
ℑ :
enjoy playing the piano and what I know of the bagpipes thus far
have an acute liking for history and literature
→ ergo, I like reading
like the colour green
prefer classical art to modern
→ though I do not dislike modern art entirely
am rather shy
→ but I can also be very animated and enthusiastic, depending on my surroundings
am strong in my beliefs but have issues with organized religion
→ believe in what comforts you,chacun à son goût
highly enjoy merely being in the company of others and having stimulating conversation (whether it be thought provoking or just light hearted)...I find this sort of thing even better when smores are involved
→though I do equally enjoy a fine escapade
prefer to be outside, doing whatever...I'm easily satisfied
fancy autumn and winter - the weather, the scent
take delight in cooking and eating
want to become an authenticator/art historian, or possibly go into set design for period films/plays, maybe historical preservation?
→ if those doesn't work out, I would settle for scout kayaker on river expeditions
like most, enjoy music
am fascinated by forgein languages, and wish I could become quite the polyglot
hope to soon get my pilot's license and one day travel two tales shy of the entire world, ideally...
→ OR find and restore(or buy in ride-able condition) a BMW R27 motorrad and travel Europe
have tendencies to over analyze/think things
cannot describe myself perfectly on a website
→ so I am probably leaving a few bits out
But, I can guarantee that I am rather agreeable~ And more than likely, you and I will share some common ground.

Who I'd like to meet: Nick Hornby, Charles Darwin, C.S. Lewis, John Cusack, Rob Thomas...etc.
Hello there. Hello there. I am Hank. A boy who has had you as a friend for a long while but never spoken to you too often.
Probably after correcting your grammar in a message long ago...you wouldn't want to talk to me. And I understand. And it was stupid, because I'm not a grammar expert myself.
But hello. I say this because I look at your interests and they seem to reflect mine, not that it's that obvious because I don't have a giant list but they do! So well, Hello.
me and blake are roommates together right now at the university of minnesota in minneapolis. so i suppose that is cool. but the very uncool thing is how hard school is now. but i suppose i'm alright
ERIN!!! Your going to have to put that book down...you've read it so many times--your now reading it upside down and from back to front! That's changin' it up a bit! Haha! Just want to stop by and say "Hi" & "I miss our talks!"
Awwe, Erin I simply adore you. Such wonderful pictures form Borders.. I went to Barnes and Noble instead. :/ Wish I could've seen you though. But I will most certainly give you a call this week..so we can figure something ouut. Its been far to long. ♥
agreed. ok well i should be getting my schedule for upcoming days shortly and then i will let you know so we can catch up on major bonding time. <3333 LOVE YOU!
haha well actually i havent lol i should be though...i love the show i just dont have time to watch it! lol well... eng. h anatomy h college alg. ap history ap economics mac ap psycology sat math prep shakespeare well i hope we do get a class together! ttyl! B
I can't leave the house today and I was out ll Friday >,< ummm I have classes mondays and wednesdays but we can hong out tuesday(I have a test to study for sundy)!
ACTUALLY! I don't have any summer plans to work around. Well, sort of. I have soccer practice on Monday , Tuesday, and Thursday. But that ends at around 1 in the afternoon, so that doesn't ever truly get in the way. I'll be leaving for Tennessee on July 7th and coming back August 1st, so any time before then or after those dates would be fine. :)
Tiff
