Yes, I have a picture of me with my car in a tux. How douche-y. However it's the only full-body picture I have for the time being. I promise I won't talk about my car (it died anyways) or pose in front of a mirror with no shirt on.

I like everything from a good club/bar scene (preferably playing metal or rock of some kind) to a movie to laser tag to hanging out and eating Doritos and playing Guitar Hero or a first person shooter to bowling with heads of lettuce. I work hard all week and anything that isn't slugging drywall or hooking up electrical receptacles is A-okay with me.

I make no promises about going out for food, though, as I have officially started a bit of a crash diet. Goooood times.
