(APPEARANCE)[/b][/font]
I stand at six foot even, but I didn't start growing until I got out of high school. Back then I was around 5'5"... there were actually a few girls taller than me. Most of the guys put me down about my height, but I'm taller than the majority of them now anyway. So whatever. I was known for having shoulder-length hair that I could give a care less about. Sure, I showered daily (and I still do, mind you), but conditioner? Didn't use it. My hair was pretty dry and homely-looking... people thought it to be pretty gross. I've recently gotten my hair cut short. It looks curly and wavy now, kind of how it used to be when I was a kid. I like it much better this way -- less maintenance. My eyes are brown, and that's it. Sometimes people comment on how I have gold flecks around my pupils, but they just look brown to me. Plain and simple, just like my hair. Which also happens to be brown. I have many, many tattoos. I got my first tattoo in Georgia, right between my shoulder blades. I have a musical note behind my left ear, a tattoo on my elbow that reads, "Next time that star shoots across the sky..." I have lyrics from the song "Push, push" by Recover tattooed on my leg... you know, I have a lot of tattoos. You can look for them if you want, but I'm not going to name all of them for you. I had my nose pierced, too, but I've moved on from that. I'm not body-builder strong or anything, but I'm fairly athletic if I do say so myself. I don't work out, so I guess it's just genes. I rarely shave my face. There's always stubble. I hope you don't mind rubbing faces with a cactus! Har har. Most of my clothes consist of fairly tight (but not constricting) jeans and flannel button-down shirts. When I don't feel like dressing up I'll usually just throw on a white tee shirt or something. I wear hoodies a lot, too... even in 80 degree weather. I'm cold-natured, you see. I have some 12-year-old Chucks that I still wear, but they're pretty raggedy looking, if you can imagine. Besides those, I have a few pairs of Vans that I slip on. I wear sunglasses a lot, too. Thankfully, no sunglasses tan. I do, however, have a pretty noticeable sock tan and tee shirt tan, but that's okay.

OVERVIEW:
Let's keep this short and sweet. After all, if you wanted to get to know me, you could just come up and chat. I like to talk, but you wouldn't know it if we were only acquaintances. When I meet someone new, it takes me a while before I open up. I take the first few minutes to take someone in; study their body language, look at their eyes, see what they're all about. I get along with guys better than girls. Us men are so much less dramatic. However, I've noticed we tend to take girls for granted far more than girls do with guys. Hey, I'm not speaking for all guys, but that's just how it is. I'm pretty quiet... I don't really talk much even with my closest friends. But if I don't like something, you'll hear me complain about it. Ladies, I consider myself a pretty sweet guy. I treat people with respect most of the time, especially you girls. I hold open doors, pick up dropped books, the whole nine yards. Aw, how sweet. I'm pretty sarcastic, if you haven't found that out already, but I know when a joke's gone too far. When I get mad, I bottle up my anger until something sends me over the edge. Maybe I have anger problems, maybe I don't. That's for you to decide. In high school I did fairly well as far as grades go, but I'm no Einstein. My common sense overrules my book smarts by a long shot. I made A's and B's, and a few C's here and there. I love English and writing, and I'm pretty much the world's biggest spelling/grammar fanatic. I hate seeing run-on sentences, misspellings... all of that. My vocabulary isn't too broad, though, but I try. Overall, I'm pretty easygoing and an all-around good guy. That's one thing I'll be conceited about -- I consider myself an okay person. I tend to contradict myself a lot and talk in circles, but that doesn't mean I'm a horrible character. Well, I said I'd keep this short and sweet but it looks like I got carried away again. Oops.
