What I'm Doing Now:
     I'm currently living in Ohio, working for a small printing company, looking for a different job, and trying to get into art school.

About Myself:
     I see myself as pretty laid-back, although I can be high-strung at times; You don't want to get on my bad side, because I'm not a fun person to be around when I'm mad. I'm an information monger - If it's news, I want to know about it. I am more than willing to listen to other people's problems and offer my opinions, and sometimes give advice.
