About Me
I am easy to like. I like all people, and love making new friends. I'm a good listener. I don't cause problems or fuss. I love to make people to laugh. I love all types of music, especially when it's played live. I am very open-minded and want to learn more about the world and different cultures; food, drinks, music, games, sports, and traditions. I do not have any known allergies. I like to exercise and play sports, especially basketball. I don't snore. I consciously maintain a healthy bodily hygiene. I am a student of life, and a good person, and I plan to stay that way forever.
