hmm well...My name is Drew, I'm 19 (20 at the end of August), I'm 5'6", 135 lbs, brown/blue and an 8"...........oh wait this isn't that kind of profile!!

HAHA! Ok seriously now lesse here...Well, ok that physical description is true, more or less () - if I ever get around to it one of these days, you all can bask in my magnificence when I'm a Crzy House Centerfold!

Obviously, I have NO ego whatsoever and NO sense of humor whatsoever. (or for those who can't tell, don't take ANYTHING I say seriously - ok, well not
ANYTHING but most of it haha)

Umm *tries to think of stuff to say* Well I'm a major computer geek (go me) and am into all sorts of stuff on there...Things like web design (I've created/maintained/what-have-you a number of sites both for myself and a few online friends, as well as helped a number of other people with various aspects of their sites), graphic design (CGI is fun!), programming, etc etc etc.

I also consider myself a writer, though that should probably be rephrased to "a writer at times" since it's been FOREVER since I've written anything. One day I'd like to write a published best-seller novel or two, right now I've only written a few short stories and am in the middle of a full-length one (little of which is online at the moment).

I can't say I'd like to be a writer as a career. It would be more of an "on-the-side" thing, to which I'd also add the field of teaching. I'd love to teach a few classes at a highschool level in addition to whatever computer-field job I would have. Of course, that brings up the question of just WHAT computer-field job that would be, and I simply CANNOT decide where to go with that - I'm too much of a "Renaissance Man" in the computer field. I know a good deal about a lot of different aspects, but I can't seem to pinpoint one area and become specialized in that, which really doesn't bode well for finding a line of work, heh. However I think I still kinda have that childhood of being a videogame programmer (haha). Go figure, that's SO me.

Musically, I'm into just about everything. Seems a lot of people here claim that but to this day I'm still the most eclectic person I know, haha...About the only things I don't like are country, what I refer to as "80's trash" (good example: Barbie), and "religious" music - ie, christian rock & gospel. However, all of these have a few 'diamonds in the rough' so-to-speak so there really isn't any one genre which I hate entirely.

Activism...I can't claim a whole lot here. I'm originally from North Dakota - not a lot happens there, one way or the other, haha, so there wasn't much to get involved in there. Plus I was majorly closeted during high school, which I later found out was quite stupid of me as most everyone I know from there doesn't have a problem with it. Anyway, that stopped me from doing any of that GSA type of thing. About the only thing I can claim any credit to is the email campaign against St. Ignatius (y'know, about Robbie Kirkland?) and the Queer-Dollar campaign.

Let's see, what other topics are people talking about here? Hehe...outness, I guess I would say I'm relatively out. I don't hide it but I don't flaunt it. A good deal of my family seems to know - my mom found out about a year ago. She didn't take it quite as well as I'd have hoped, but neither did she really take it bad at all. Since then things have gotten much better - I pointed her to information on sites such as PFLAG etc and that has helped greatly. Anyway...pretty much all of my old friends and such from high school know - I came out to a few shortly after graduation (damn! I should have earlier, maybe I'd have been not-single ) and someone started spreading it around to everyone else. That kinda freaked me out but it turned out really really well.

Alright, finally, how the hell did I wind up here? I think it was due to Eddi pointing me over here. I'm not sure exactly how or when I first talked to Lance (actually, I think the first time was him chewing me out for something I posted on another board, which he was COMPLETELY WRONG about, hahahaha) but anyway...Yeah.

Well I find myself running out of things to say, and I hope this didn't bore you all too much, hehe...If any of ya feel like contacting me, do so thusly:
