I recently tried to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I wiped out and banged myself up pretty good. Will I get back on and try again? Absolutely. I'm tenacious like that. Or just stupid.

I tend to take care of others before I take care of myself. I hate spending money on myself - especially on clothes, even though I know I need some. I feel like I'm the opposite of a hoarder - the less stuff I have the better, but that's probably because I move all the damn time.

Work and school occupy my time a lot, but when the mood strikes I'll draw. It's not something I'm passionate about, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I like making comics the best - I like drawing out all the funny stories that pop into my head. It's good therapy for when my brain needs to take a break.

I'm very self conscious about myself. I'm very aware that I'm taller than average and probably not as skinny as I could be. I'm not as strong as I'd like to be and I never really get the grades I want in school. Despite this, however, I look on the positive side more often than not. I'm also learning to think before I say things to avoid catastrophic consequences.

On books, movies, music and food... because I know you're all wondering:
I enjoy reading anything, really. Romantic fiction, history text books, political/religious opinionated drabble, manga/comics that inspire me. I especially enjoy the entire Harry Potter series.

Movies, well, there are too many to list. Comedies are my top choice, and would perfer something silly and funny over something serious or scary. I also like foreign films and action flicks where chicks kick ass (i.e. Kill Bill). I do watch a lot of cartoons. The entire adult swim lineup is pretty rad.

Music is something I'll never really get tired of. I love yet hate that I rely on others to create music for me. I wish I could make my own but I lack that talent. I enjoy a wide range of things from twee to rap to dance to riot grrl to nerdcore hiphop to hardcore groundthumping headbanging metal. I really love going to shows and just being around people who share the same love I have for whatever music that particular artist is making.

I'm afraid I have to admit that I'm ignorant in the ways of cooking. I do appreciate a nice home cooked meal, though. Especially if it's something italian.

I'm always a bit nervous on first dates. I guess I prefer to go on first dates in a relaxed atmosphere where we can just sit and talk and get to know eachother better.
