I'm just trying to be myself.... and happy. I'm currently dating someone very special and joined JSH to meet new friends.

The past few years have been.... disappointing, depressing, and empty. I went through a few awful relationships, managed to graduate from college only to work in a wasteland of a town, and managed to lose everything I liked about myself for a while.... But I've been trying to find those again with the help of my beautiful Lex.

In a perfect world, I would surround myself with inspiration and passion. I like looking at artwork (or anything really) that moves me. I like listening to music that brings out an emotion I hadn't truly felt in years. When I found a person who could do that to me, I was in awe.

I suppose I would consider myself a creative type of sorts. I draw, sculpt, write, play an instrument.... I enjoy submerging myself into projects that allow me to touch upon who I honestly am in a world that doesn't always encourage that person to come out.

Some simple statements:
I appreciate honesty over many things.
I like finding humor in what I can--even lobsters.
A laugh can fill a room with a story.
The mundane can be beautiful if you know how to look at it.
The words "I love you" can be meaningless if they come from the wrong person.
Bugs bother me, because they move too quickly.
Candy and Mountain Dew can make almost any situation better.
I have proof that dating sites can have very positive results.
Sometimes fingernails can tell someone how much you care.
You can learn something from television.
You can never be truly happy unless you're honest with yourself.
A squirrel can direct traffic.
Taking risks can be frightening but rewarding (like with cooking).
Idiocy can be funny but has more of a tendency to be absolutely annoying.
I never wanted children--not to give birth to one or date one.
Sometimes something beautiful can be hidden under a pile of old papers.

Well, there's a lot I could say, but I'll leave it at that for now.
