Capricorn

An amalgam of contradictions that add up to a pretty decent guy...Random quirks and info: I take a huge sniff of my food before I begin eating; I can find humor in nearly any situation (when appropriate, of course); I have a thing for hands; I have been known to ask lots of questions; Reefs are my footwear of choice; I have a favorite dingy red cap that fits my head just perfect; I like getting "lost" on purpose while on road-trips; ramen and pho is comfort food; I'm always on the look-out for new cafes, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, bars, and live music. I am very fortunate to be surrounded by an awesome group of friends...who are down-to-earth, fun to be around, and who like to call each other "bitch". It's a term of endearment, believe me.

I'd say that I get along best with people who are layed-back, intelligent, humble, adventurous, like to laugh a lot, exude a positive vibe, have an affinity for intelligent-crass humor (if there is such a thing), and are just plain "real". Oh and anyone who wants to try outrigger paddling...
